The Carolina Review By Jerry Mobley:
GRAB BAG....Speculation
had mounted prior to last
week’s opening session of
the 1900 General Assembly
that the lawmakers might
very well bypass the 1979
Closing Adjourment
Resolution. That resolution
severely restricted
discussion and voting topics
for this session to budgetary
matters and a few other
well-defined issues.
While most observers
assumed the Assembly
would not adhere strictly
within the “budgetary
guidelines,” no one was
quite prepared for the grab
bag of items included in the
Joint Resolution relating to
which bills might be con
sidered during this session.
The 16-item agenda that
passed out of the Senate last
week accumulated two
more possibilities as it was
amended in the House.
The lengthy resolution as
amended, (two and a half
pages) contained several
“housekeeping” bills
pushed by the governor that
would alleviate problems
caused or uncovered by
previous legislation.
Included in this category
were bills that would allow
postponement of the ef
fective dates for certain
portions of the Speedy Trials

MORE D I F -
FICULT....One item in
cluded in the “enabling
legislation” resolution that
is certain to meet much
more difficult cir
cumstances is a bill
“relatihg to contract and
installment loan rates.”,
The bill is the creation and
recipient of strong support
by the banker’s lobby-one
of the more powerful and
active lobbyist groups in
Raleigh.
Simply put, the bankers
are looking for a means of
raising the ceiling on in
terest rates for contract and
installment loans. Right
now, the legislated ceiling is
at 18 per cent.
However, with interest
rates on other monies
recently falling from a
temporary high of about 20
per cent, the legislators are
apparently in no mood to
make permanent legislation
that would invite the wrath

of consumer groups and
inflation-ravaged voters.
Success during this
session of the Legislature to
raise the ceiling on interest
rates might add great
validity to observations in
recent years that the
lawmakers are being unduly
influenced by the “too
strong” and “too active”
banker’s lobby.
