380-E - Effect of usury.

§ 380-e.  Effect of usury. The knowingly taking, receiving, reserving,  or charging by a savings and loan association of interest,  as  computed  pursuant  to  this article, at a rate greater than such rate of interest  as may be authorized by law shall be held and adjudged a  forfeiture  of  the  entire  interest  which  the note or other evidence of debt carries  with it, or which has been agreed to be paid thereon.  If  such  greater  rate  of interest has been paid, the person paying the same or his legal  representatives may recover from the savings and loan association  twice  the  entire  amount  of  the interest thus paid. Nothing in this section  shall be deemed to affect the powers of any savings and loan association  with respect to loans or investments it is authorized to make.
