In provisions concerning verification, provides that stated income should be accepted only if there are mitigating factors that clearly minimize the need for direct verification of ability to repay or the licensee is originating the loan directly for a federally insured financial institution that is subject to applicable federal regulation. Amends the Residential Real Property Disclosure Act. Changes the definitions of "adjustable rate mortgage" and "interest only" to include additional specified criteria. Provides that exemptions from the Act also include (1) any loan that qualifies to be processed through the automated underwriting system of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and (2) any loan that is a refinance of a FHA loan which only reduces the interest rate and reduces the loan payment for the borrower without additional borrower cost.</SynopsisText><synopsistitle>Senate Committee Amendment No. 1</synopsistitle>
