Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Residential Mortgage License Act of 1987. Provides that, prior to taking any legally binding action on a shared appreciation agreement, the borrower or borrowers shall be provided specified counseling regardless of the county in which the property is located. Provides that the borrower may not waive counseling. Provides that the Secretary of Financial and Professional Regulation may adopt rules relating to shared appreciation agreements. Defines "shared appreciation agreement", and includes shared appreciation agreements within the definition of "mortgage loan", "residential mortgage loan", or "home mortgage loan". Amends the Residential Real Property Disclosure Act. Provides that, for each loan for which the originator takes an application, the broker or originator must submit for inclusion in the predatory lending database whether the borrower has entered into a shared appreciation agreement. Provides that a borrower or borrowers subject to specified provisions shall be recommended for counseling if the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation finds the borrower or borrowers are all first-time homebuyers or refinancing a primary residence and the loan is a mortgage that includes a shared appreciation agreement. Effective immediately.

House Committee Amendment No. 1
Adds reference to:
765 ILCS 77/70

Further amends the Residential Real Property Disclosure Act. In provisions concerning the predatory lending database program, modifies a cross-reference to the Residential Mortgage License Act of 1987 in the definition of "exempt person or entity".

House Floor Amendment No. 2
Deletes reference to:
765 ILCS 77/72
765 ILCS 77/73

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill, as amended by House Amendment No. 1, with the following changes. In the changes to the Residential Mortgage License Act of 1987 in provisions about shared appreciation agreement consumer counseling and disclosures, provides that, notwithstanding any provision in the Act to the contrary, before (rather than prior to) taking any legally binding action on a shared appreciation agreement, the borrower or borrowers shall be provided counseling (removing a cross-reference to a definition of counseling in the Residential Real Property Disclosure Act and a reference that the borrower or borrowers shall be provided counseling regardless of the county in which the property is located). Removes changes to the Residential Real Property Disclosure Act from the introduced bill, and further amends the Residential Real Property Disclosure Act by defining "counseling". Effective immediately.
