Localities United

This year, 65 localities have adopted the “Staunton II” Resolution that urges the Governor and General Assembly to end predatory lending in Virginia. Back in 2007, there was a similar effort against payday and car-title lenders in which 34 localities, including Richmond, signed a resolution to cap interest at 36% APR. When considered together, nearly 100 counties, cities, and towns throughout Virginia have supported resolutions to cap maximum interest at 36% APR for payday and car-title loans. These localities account for an overwhelming majority of the state population that is seeking legislation to end usury in the Commonwealth.
