| sentence. The provisions of this amendatory Act of 1985 shall
| 25 |
| apply only to contracts or loans entered into on or after the | 26 |
| effective

entered into on or after that date that are | 28 |
| subject to Section 4a of this
Act, the Consumer Installment | 29 |
| Loan Act, the Payday Loan Reform Act, or the Retail Installment | 30 |
