This proposal includes numerous important provisions that will provide greater clarity to cities and assist the State’s emerging legal marijuana market. In particular, cities ask for your assistance with the following provisions in the bill: • Local Flexibility: Cities support the provisions in Section 301 for local flexibility to adjust the 1,000 foot buffer between retailers and certain sensitive uses. This flexibility will help cities better site business, while still meeting the public safety needs for their communities. • Opposition to pre-emption: Cities strongly oppose the inclusion of a public vote requirement prior to enacting a prohibition on marijuana businesses. This is a clear pre-emption of existing local regulatory authority. It is also inconsistent with the language of I-502 and at odds with recent court decisions and the state’s Attorney General Opinion.

    Legislative Building Washington State Legislature Olympia, WA 98504-0482 September 28, 2016 Richard Cordray, Director Consumer Financial Protection Bureau 1700 G Street N.W. Washington D.C. 20552 Dear Director Cordray, RE: Docket No. CFPB-2016-0025 or RIN 3170-AA40 Thank you for your leadership of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Your agency has helped millions of consumers in the financial sector who just need a fair playing field. We appreciate your work and your focus to your mission. We greatly appreciate the recent release of draft rules concerning small loans and we applaud your goal of “proposing strong protections aimed at ending payday debt traps.” As you know, Washington State reformed our payday lending regulations in 2009 with our law going in to effect in 2010. Since that time, according to the Department of Financial Institutions 2014 report, consumers in Washington have saved over $666 million in fees that would have otherwise been paid to payday lenders. These savings are the result of consumers being able to escape the cycle of debt often caused by payday loans. The Washington law curbs the worst elements of debt traps; loan volume, time in debt, and loan size are all down from pre-reform levels. Payday loan volume has fallen by over 75%, and the amount of time that a typical borrower is indebted has fallen by 50% (down from 161 days in 2009 to 83 days in 2014). Although Washington payday loans can be as large as $700, the typical loan size has continued to fall since the enactment of the reforms (from $412 in 2009 to $389 in 2014).
