INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Members Nava, Bass, and Lieu
   (Coauthor: Senator DeSaulnier)

                        JANUARY 11, 2010

   An act to amend Section 2923.5 of, and to add Article 1.7
(commencing with Section 2946) to Chapter 2 of Title 14 of Part 4 of
Division 3 of, the Civil Code, relating to mortgages.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1639, as amended, Nava. Mediated Mortgage Workout Program.
   Existing law requires that, upon a breach of the obligation of a
mortgage or transfer of an interest in property, the trustee,
mortgagee, or beneficiary record a notice of default in the office of
the county recorder where the mortgaged or trust property is
situated and mail the notice of default to the mortgagor or trustor,
among other acts required prior to exercising a power of sale in a
nonjudicial foreclosure proceeding.
   This bill would establish the Mediated Mortgage Workout (MMW)
Program. The program would be a process whereby borrowers and lenders
would engage in mediation for purposes of developing a loan
modification plan. The program would require that specified
information regarding the MMW Program be included with the notice of
default sent to a borrower, as defined, on a loan secured by
residential real property of one- to 4-family dwelling units that is
the primary residence of the borrower, as specified. The bill would
require that this additional notice be recorded in the office of the
county recorder. By expanding the duties of county recorders, the
bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
    The bill would provide for an administrator of the program who
would be appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate. The
program would require a borrower who elects to participate in the
program to complete a specified form and return the form to the
administrator of the program not later than 30 calendar days after
receiving the notice of default. The program would require the
borrower to submit other information to the administrator within 10
days of requesting to participate in the program, including tax
returns, income verification, and a specified deposit of funds. The
program would  also  require a borrower who elects
to participate in the program to deposit with the administrator 50%
of the current mortgage payment each month during participation in
the MMW Program. The bill would also prohibit a mortgagee, trustee,
beneficiary, or authorized agent from reporting negative credit
information to a credit reporting agency about a borrower who has
 successfully  completed the MMW Program and
accepted a mortgage loan modification. The bill would impose various
administrative fees,  and a specified minimum deposit, 
payable by the mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary, or authorized agent,
or by the borrower, as specified, who participate in the MMW Program.

   The bill would also provide that the timelines set forth in the
provision governing the exercise of the power of sale, as specified,
would be suspended until the completion of the program, as specified.

   The bill would require the administrator of the program, among
other duties, to implement rules and standards for selecting
qualified mediators and to develop standards for forms and reports
required to implement the program. The bill would also require the
administrator, upon receipt of a borrower's form whereby he or she
elects to participate in the program  ,  to randomly appoint
an individual to serve as mediator from a list of qualified
mediators in the county in which the property is located. The bill
would establish the compensation for a mediator who provides his or
her services to the program and require a mediator to use reasonable
efforts to ensure that each MMW Program is completed within 60
calendar days of the mediator's appointment. The bill would 
also  require the mediator to prepare a final report, as
specified. The bill would also require, only until January 1, 2015,
the administrator to report quarterly to the Legislature regarding
the MMW Program, as specified. The bill would also require each
mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary, or authorized agent participating in
the program to post specified data about its loans on its Internet
Web site.
   The bill would also make related and technical changes.
   The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
   This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates
determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state,
reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these
statutory provisions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.
