Legislative History

(L. 1974 2d Ex. Sess. S.B. 1, A.L. 1980 H.B. 1195, A.L. 1981 S.B. 5 Revision, A.L. 1992 S.B. 688, A.L. 1997 H.B. 655 merged with S.B. 170, A.L. 2021 S.B. 106, A.L. 2024 S.B. 1359) (1994) Where statute allows unlimited interest on loans in excess of five thousand dollars secured by real estate used for agricultural activity, banking regulation, C.S.R. 140-6.050, relating to contingent interest and limitations on its application to profitability and successful operations of businesses, is not inconsistent and statute does not entitle bank to ignore limitation of banking regulation. Contingent interest provision of bank note was invalid and unenforceable. Killion v. Bank Midwest, N.A., 886 S.W.2d 29 (Mo. App. W.D.).
