Senate Labor and Business Committee advances HB 4,116 after debate over 36% cap and legal risk
After a public hearing and work session Feb. 26, the Senate Committee on Labor and Business voted to advance House Bill 4,116 — which would opt Oregon out of federal interest‑rate preemption for certain state‑chartered lenders — to the Senate floor with a due‑pass recommendation following debate on enforcement, data gaps and litigation risk.

❌ None of the current proposals, even those backed by long‑time advocates like Elizabeth Warren, include protections against these retaliatory actions. The cap tackles interest rates, but it doesn’t stop banks from shifting the pain elsewhere.

⚠️ But here’s the catch: lenders can still slash credit limits, freeze accounts, hike fees, or gut rewards programs to protect their profits. Those moves could leave borrowers over their new limits, damage credit scores, and restrict access to credit altogether.

Credit Card Interest Rate Cap:
📉 A 10% cap on credit card interest sounds like a win for borrowers, cutting rates from today’s 20–30% range down to something manageable. That means lower monthly payments and faster debt payoff.
