+Added: Illinois recently passed the Predatory Loan Prevention Act, which we do not believe applies to pawn.
+Added: If it is determined that the new law applies to pawn transactions, our business in Illinois (20 stores) could be adversely affected.
+Added: The Illinois Predatory Loan Prevention Act was signed into law on March 23, 2021.
+Added: Pawn transactions are not mentioned in the act, and we believe that pawn transactions are not subject to the provisions of the act.
+Added: On April 28, the Illinois Department of Financial & Professional Regulation issued a fact sheet that lists "pawn loans" as among the types of consumer loans covered by the law.
+Added: We are seeking formal confirmation that the new act does not apply to pawn transactions.
+Added: If it is determined that the act does apply to pawn, then our business in Illinois could be adversely affected and we could be subject to civil penalties.
