The Michigan Legislature recently passed the “Deferred Presentment Service Transactions Act,” legislation that regulates the payday lending industry for the first time in state history. The intent of this Focus publication is to raise awareness of this new law and to provide consumers with helpful information pertaining to the payday lending industry.

In an effort to bring a strong Catholic grassroots voice to the State Capitol, the Michigan Catholic Conference has developed the web-based Catholic Legislative Advocacy Network.
