Senate Study Bill 3040

Bill Text

PAG LIN
  1  1    Section 1.  Section 537.2502, subsections 3 and 6, Code
  1  2 Supplement 1999, are amended to read as follows:
  1  3    3.  A delinquency charge shall not be collected under
  1  4 subsection 1, paragraph "a", on an installment which is paid
  1  5 in full within ten days after its scheduled or deferred
  1  6 installment due date even though an earlier maturing
  1  7 installment or a delinquency or deferral charge on an earlier
  1  8 installment may not have been paid in full.  For purposes of
  1  9 this subsection, payments associated with a precomputed
  1 10 transaction are applied first to current installments and then
  1 11 to delinquent installments.
  1 12    6.  A delinquency charge shall not be collected under
  1 13 subsection 4 on a payment associated with a precomputed
  1 14 transaction which is paid in full on or before its scheduled
  1 15 or deferred due date even though an earlier maturing payment
  1 16 or a delinquency or deferred charge on an earlier payment has
  1 17 not been paid in full.  For purposes of this subsection,
  1 18 payments associated with a precomputed transaction are applied
  1 19 first to amounts due for the current billing cycle and then to
  1 20 delinquent payments.  
  1 21                           EXPLANATION
  1 22    This bill provides that, with respect to an interest-
  1 23 bearing transaction associated with a consumer credit
  1 24 transaction that is not pursuant to an open-end credit
  1 25 arrangement, a delinquency charge on a current paid-in-full
  1 26 installment associated with a precomputed transaction shall
  1 27 not be collected, even if a delinquency on an earlier
  1 28 installment exists.  By limiting the provision's applicability
  1 29 to precomputed transactions, the bill allows a delinquency
  1 30 charge to be collected on an installment not part of a
  1 31 precomputed transaction, where the current installment due is
  1 32 paid in full within 10 days after its scheduled or deferred
  1 33 installment due date but an earlier maturing installment or a
  1 34 delinquency or deferral charge on an earlier installment has
  1 35 not been paid in full.  The bill, with respect to such
  2  1 transactions, eliminates the requirement that payments be
  2  2 applied first to a current installment and then to delinquent
  2  3 amounts.
  2  4    The bill likewise provides that with respect to open-end
  2  5 credit, a delinquency charge may be collected on a payment
  2  6 associated with a transaction other than a precomputed
  2  7 transaction where the current payment due is paid in full on
  2  8 or before its scheduled or deferred due date but where an
  2  9 earlier maturing payment or a delinquency or deferred charge
  2 10 on an earlier payment has not been paid in full.  The bill,
  2 11 with respect to such transactions, eliminates the requirement
  2 12 that payments be applied first to a current payment and then
  2 13 to delinquent amounts.
