With the sponsor being unable to muster up enough votes to pass SB 1316 S/E, it was not placed on the Senate agenda during the final session that ran about 20 hours ending at 0545 this morning.
Please consider sending the draft message at the end of this Email to thank all Arizona State Senators and Representatives who were prepared to vote against the bill had it come up in a last ditch effort to pass it, with some comments for those who supported it.

Draft Message
Dear State Legislator,
Many thanks to all of you who were prepared to vote against predatory lending Bill SB 1316 S/E had it been placed on an agenda during the marathon Legislative session that lasted some 20 Hours, ending at about 5:45 AM on 7 May.
Many of us are still curious as to why so many of you, who were planning to vote for this Bill, have been so reluctant to speak out in support of it and were planning to vote for it along party lines instead of voting you conscience and what’s best for Arizona.
And we wonder what the motives were for the major proponents of the Bill that would have resulted in the kind of new business or free enterprise (as espoused by some) that Arizona that does not need. And it certainly was not what their constituents and Arizona residents wanted. They lost the battle last year, and now again this year (under a new name). And we will be prepared to oppose any similar effort by the lending industry and lobbyists should that happen in the future.
Respectfully,
