State Issues

On December 22, Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf signed into law SB 751, an act amending Title 7 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to regulate certain mortgage servicing activities. The amendments revise existing definitions, define new terms, establish mortgage servicing licensing requirements, create single point of contact requirements, and set forth specific steps that mortgage servicers must complete as soon as mortgage loans are paid in full. The law also requires, effective December 22, the promulgation of regulations to incorporate the CFPB’s mortgage servicing regulations. The remaining sections of SB 751 go into effect on the date that the new promulgated regulations are issued.
