SUMMARY

5/11/99 - Sorry, no summary at this time. Please review the state website below for more information.

KANSAS STATE WEBSITE

KS - This links directly to Kansas State's Website. The Kansas Banking Commission supervises Payday loans. There is a Chapter that covers Payday Loans, but I have not yet found out what Chapter and Subchapter it is.  Please note that this site allows you to search for legislation, but there is a $0.25 (???) charge for looking at legislation.

Here is the text of the Kansas statute applicable to Payday advance.
