Representative Chris Liese's reforms in pay day loans got the House and Senate's stamp of approval Monday afternoon.

Pay Day loans allow people to take money for a set amount of time. Then, they pay it back on their "pay day" so to speak, or when they have the money.

Liese, of West County, says the reforms will help more people who desperately need it.
