| 2017-26974 | Military Lending Act Limitations on Terms of Consumer Credit Extended to Service Members and Dependents | Rule | The Department of Defense (Department) is amending its interpretive rule for the Military Lending Act (the MLA). The MLA, as implemented by the Department, limits the military annual percentage rate (MAPR) that a creditor may charge to a maximum of 36 percent, requires certain disclosures, and provides other substantive consumer protections on "consumer credit" extended to Service members and their families. On July 22, 2015, the Department amended its regulation primarily for the purpose of extending the protections of the MLA to a broader range of closed-end and open-end credit products (the July 2015 Final Rule). On August 26, 2016, the Department issued the first set of interpretations of that regulation in the form of questions and answers; the present interpretive rule amends and adds to those questions and answers to provide guidance on certain questions the Department has received regarding compliance with the July 2015 Final Rule. | 2017-12-14 | 2017 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/12/14/2017-26974/military-lending-act-limitations-on-terms-of-consumer-credit-extended-to-service-members-and | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2017-12-14/pdf/2017-26974.pdf | Defense Department | 103 | The Department of Defense (Department) is amending its interpretive rule for the Military Lending Act (the MLA).
