The City finds that, in order to minimize the detrimental effects that certain payday lending practices have on individuals and families, payday lenders should require payment of a portion of the original loan amount prior to the renewal of a payday loan, borrowers should be able to rescind a payday loan, and borrowers should be able to convert a payday loan into a payment plan. This chapter shall be construed in conformity with the laws and regulations of the State of Oregon. [BC 7.12.005, added by Ordinance No. 4394, 7/10/06]
