2credit loan may, and when so expressed therein shall, secure
3not only the existing indebtedness, but also such future
4advances, whether such advances are obligatory or to be made at
5the option of the lender, or otherwise, as are made within

10    Sec. 6.1. Non-recourse reverse mortgage loans.
11    (a) It is the intent of this amendatory Act of 1991 that
12homeowners at least 62 years of age be permitted to meet their
13financial needs by accessing the equity in their homes through
14a reverse mortgage. The General Assembly recognizes that many
15restrictions and requirements that exist to govern traditional
16mortgage transactions are inapplicable in the context of
17reverse mortgages. In order to foster reverse mortgage
18transactions and better serve the citizens of this State, this
19Section authorizes the making of reverse mortgages, and
20expressly relieves reverse mortgage lenders and borrowers from
21compliance with inappropriate requirements.
22    As used in this Section, "borrower" means any homeowner who
23is, or whose spouse is, at least 62 years of age.
24    For purposes of this Section, "real property" includes a
25manufactured home as defined in subdivision (53) of Section

19-102 of the Uniform Commercial Code which is real property as
2defined in Section 5-35 of the Conveyance and Encumbrance of
3Manufactured Homes as Real Property and Severance Act.
4    As used in this Section, "reverse mortgage" means a
5non-recourse loan, secured by real property, that complies with
6all of the following:
7        (1) Provides cash advances to a borrower based on the
8    equity in a borrower's owner-occupied principal residence,
9    provided that it is a residence designed to be occupied by
10    not more than 4 families.

2changing Sections 46 and 46.1 as follows:
 
3    (205 ILCS 305/46)  (from Ch. 17, par. 4447)
4    Sec. 46. Loans and interest rate.
5    (1) A credit union may make loans to its members for such
6purpose and upon such security and terms, including rates of
7interest, as the credit committee, credit manager, or loan
8officer approves. Notwithstanding the provisions of any other
9law in connection with extensions of credit, a credit union may
10elect to contract for and receive interest and fees and other
11charges for extensions of credit subject only to the provisions
12of this Act and rules promulgated under this Act, except that
13extensions of credit secured by residential real estate shall
14be subject to the laws applicable thereto. The rates of
15interest to be charged on loans to members shall be set by the
16board of directors of each individual credit union in
17accordance with Section 30 of this Act and such rates may be
18less than, but may not exceed, the maximum rate set forth in
19this Section. A borrower may repay his loan prior to maturity,
20in whole or in part, without penalty. The credit contract may
21provide for the payment by the member and receipt by the credit
22union of all costs and disbursements, including reasonable
23attorney's fees and collection agency charges, incurred by the
24credit union to collect or enforce the debt in the event of a
25delinquency by the member, or in the event of a breach of any

 

 

HB5938 Enrolled- 48 -LRB098 18594 HLH 53735 b

1obligation of the member under the credit contract. A
2contingency or hourly arrangement established under an
3agreement entered into by a credit union with an attorney or
4collection agency to collect a loan of a member in default
5shall be presumed prima facie reasonable.
6    (2) Credit unions may make loans based upon the security of
7any interest or equity in real estate, subject to rules and
8regulations promulgated by the Secretary. In any contract or
9loan which is secured by a mortgage, deed of trust, or
10conveyance in the nature of a mortgage, on residential real
11estate, the interest which is computed, calculated, charged, or
12collected pursuant to such contract or loan, or pursuant to any
13regulation or rule promulgated pursuant to this Act, may not be
14computed, calculated, charged or collected for any period of
15time occurring after the date on which the total indebtedness,
16with the exception of late payment penalties, is paid in full.
17    For purposes of this subsection (2) of this Section 46, a
18prepayment shall mean the payment of the total indebtedness,
19with the exception of late payment penalties if incurred or
20charged, on any date before the date specified in the contract
21or loan agreement on which the total indebtedness shall be paid
22in full, or before the date on which all payments, if timely
23made, shall have been made. In the event of a prepayment of the
24indebtedness which is made on a date after the date on which
25interest on the indebtedness was last computed, calculated,
26charged, or collected but before the next date on which

 

 

HB5938 Enrolled- 49 -LRB098 18594 HLH 53735 b

1interest on the indebtedness was to be calculated, computed,
2charged, or collected, the lender may calculate, charge and
3collect interest on the indebtedness for the period which
4elapsed between the date on which the prepayment is made and
5the date on which interest on the indebtedness was last
6computed, calculated, charged or collected at a rate equal to
71/360 of the annual rate for each day which so elapsed, which
8rate shall be applied to the indebtedness outstanding as of the
9date of prepayment. The lender shall refund to the borrower any
10interest charged or collected which exceeds that which the
11lender may charge or collect pursuant to the preceding
12sentence. The provisions of this amendatory Act of 1985 shall
13apply only to contracts or loans entered into on or after the
14effective date of this amendatory Act.
15    (3) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, a
16credit union authorized under this Act to make loans secured by
17an interest or equity in real estate may engage in making
18"reverse mortgage" loans to persons for the purpose of making
19home improvements or repairs, paying insurance premiums or
20paying real estate taxes on the homestead properties of such
21persons. If made, such loans shall be made on such terms and
22conditions as the credit union shall determine and as shall be
23consistent with the provisions of this Section and such rules
24and regulations as the Secretary shall promulgate hereunder.
25For purposes of this Section, a "reverse mortgage" loan shall
26be a loan extended on the basis of existing equity in homestead

2shall be repaid upon the sale of the property or upon the death
3of the owner or, if the property is in joint tenancy, upon the
4death of the last surviving joint tenant who had such an
5interest in the property at the time the loan was initiated,
6provided, however, that the credit union and its member may by
7mutual agreement, establish other repayment terms. A credit
8union, in making a "reverse mortgage" loan, may add deferred
9interest to principal or otherwise provide for the charging of
10interest or premiums on such deferred interest. "Homestead"
11property, for purposes of this Section, means the domicile and
12contiguous real estate owned and occupied by the mortgagor.
13    (4) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Act, a
14credit union authorized under this Act to make loans secured by
15an interest or equity in real property may engage in making
16revolving credit loans secured by mortgages or deeds of trust
17on such real property or by security assignments of beneficial
18interests in land trusts.
19    For purposes of this Section, "revolving credit" has the
20meaning defined in Section 4.1 of the Interest Act.
21    Any mortgage or deed of trust given to secure a revolving
22credit loan may, and when so expressed therein shall, secure
23not only the existing indebtedness but also such future
24advances, whether such advances are obligatory or to be made at
25the option of the lender, or otherwise, as are made within
26twenty years from the date thereof, to the same extent as if

 

 

HB5938 Enrolled- 51 -LRB098 18594 HLH 53735 b

1such future advances were made on the date of the execution of
2such mortgage or deed of trust, although there may be no
3advance made at the time of execution of such mortgage or other
4instrument, and although there may be no indebtedness
5outstanding at the time any advance is made. The lien of such
6mortgage or deed of trust, as to third persons without actual
7notice thereof, shall be valid as to all such indebtedness and
8future advances form the time said mortgage or deed of trust is
9filed for record in the office of the recorder of deeds or the
10registrar of titles of the county where the real property
11described therein is located. The total amount of indebtedness
12that may be so secured may increase or decrease from time to
13time, but the total unpaid balance so secured at any one time
14shall not exceed a maximum principal amount which must be
15specified in such mortgage or deed of trust, plus interest
16thereon, and any disbursements made for the payment of taxes,
17special assessments, or insurance on said real property, with
18interest on such disbursements.
19    Any such mortgage or deed of trust shall be valid and have
20priority over all subsequent liens and encumbrances, including
21statutory liens, except taxes and assessments levied on said
22real property.
23    (4-5) For purposes of this Section, "real estate" and "real

11for a greater or less sum, or for a longer or shorter time,
12except as herein provided.
13    The maximum rate of interest that may lawfully be
14contracted for is determined by the law applicable thereto at

22out-of-state bank, as those terms are defined in Section 2 of
23the Illinois Banking Act, to receive or to contract to receive
24and collect interest and charges at any rate or rates agreed

5    (815 ILCS 205/4.2)  (from Ch. 17, par. 6407)
6    Sec. 4.2. Revolving credit; billing statements;
7disclosures. On a revolving credit which complies with
8subparagraphs (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 4.2,
9it is lawful for any bank that has its main office or, after
10May 31, 1997, a branch in this State, a state or federal
11savings and loan association with its main office in this
12State, a state or federal credit union with its main office in
13this State, or a lender licensed under the Consumer Finance
14Act, the Consumer Installment Loan Act or the Sales Finance
15Agency Act, as such Acts are now and hereafter amended, to
16receive or contract to receive and collect interest in any
17amount or at any rate agreed upon by the parties to the
18revolving credit arrangement. It is lawful for any other lender
19to receive or contract to receive and collect interest in an
20amount not in excess of 1 1/2% per month of either the average
21daily unpaid balance of the principal of the debt during the
22billing cycle, or of the unpaid balance of the debt on
23approximately the same day of the billing cycle. If a lender
24under a revolving credit arrangement notifies the debtor at
25least 30 days in advance of any lawful increase in the amount

 

 

HB5938 Enrolled- 154 -LRB098 18594 HLH 53735 b

1or rate of interest to be charged under the revolving credit
2arrangement, and the debtor, after the effective date of such
3notice, incurs new debt pursuant to the revolving credit
4arrangement, the increased interest amount or rate may be
5applied only to any such new debt incurred under the revolving
6credit arrangement. For purposes of determining the balances to
7which the increased interest rate applies, all payments and
8other credits may be deemed to be applied to the balance
9existing prior to the change in rate until that balance is paid
10in full. The face amount of the drafts, items, orders for the
11payment of money, evidences of debt, or similar written
12instruments received by the lender in connection with the
13revolving credit, less the amounts applicable to principal from
14time to time paid thereon by the debtor, are the unpaid balance
15of the debt upon which the interest is computed. If the billing
16cycle is not monthly, the maximum interest rate for the billing
17cycle is the percentage which bears the same relation to the
18monthly percentage provided for in the preceding sentence as
19the number of days in the billing cycle bears to 30. For the
20purposes of the foregoing computation, a "month" is deemed to
21be any time of 30 consecutive days. In addition to the interest
22charge provided for, it is lawful to receive, contract for or
23collect a charge not exceeding 25 cents for each transaction in
24which a loan or advance is made under the revolving credit or
25in lieu of this additional charge an annual fee for the
26privilege of receiving and using the revolving credit in an

 

 

HB5938 Enrolled- 155 -LRB098 18594 HLH 53735 b

1amount not exceeding $20. In addition, with respect to
2revolving credit secured by an interest in real estate,
3including a manufactured home as defined in subdivision (53) of
4Section 9-102 of the Uniform Commercial Code that is real
5property as defined in the Conveyance and Encumbrance of
6Manufactured Homes as Real Property and Severance Act, it is
7also lawful to receive, contract for or collect fees lawfully
8paid to any public officer or agency to record, file or release
9the security, and costs and disbursements actually incurred for
10any title insurance, title examination, abstract of title,
11survey, appraisal, escrow fees, and fees paid to a trustee in
12connection with a trust deed.
13    (a) At or before the date a bill or statement is first
14rendered to the debtor under a revolving credit arrangement,
15the lender must mail or deliver to the debtor a written
16description of the conditions under which a charge for interest
17may be made and the method, including the rate, of computing
18these interest charges. The rate of interest must be expressed
19as an annual percentage rate.
20    (b) If during any billing cycle any debit or credit entry
21is made to a debtor's revolving credit account, and if at the
22end of that billing cycle there is an unpaid balance owing to
23the lender from the debtor, the lender must give to the debtor
24the following information within a reasonable time after the
25end of the billing cycle:
26        (i) the unpaid balance at the beginning of the billing

 

 

HB5938 Enrolled- 156 -LRB098 18594 HLH 53735 b

1    cycle;
2        (ii) the date and amount of all loans or advances made
3    during the billing cycle, which information may be supplied
4    by enclosing a copy of the drafts, items, orders for the
5    payment of money, evidences of debt or similar written
6    instruments presented to the lender during the billing
7    cycle;
8        (iii) the payments by the debtor to the lender and any
9    other credits to the debtor during the billing cycle;
10        (iv) the amount of interest and other charges, if any,
11    charged to the debtor's account during the billing cycle;
12        (v) the amount which must be currently paid by the
13    debtor and the date on which that amount must be paid in
14    order to avoid delinquency;
15        (vi) the total amount remaining unpaid at the end of
16    the billing cycle and the right of the debtor to prepay
17    that amount in full without penalty; and
18        (vii) information required by (iv), (v) and (vi) must
19    be set forth in type of equal size and equal
20    conspicuousness.
21    (c) The revolving credit arrangement may provide for the
22payment by the debtor and receipt by the lender of all costs
23and disbursements, including reasonable attorney's fees,
24incurred by the lender in legal proceedings to collect or
25enforce the debt in the event of delinquency by the debtor or
26in the event of a breach of any obligation of the debtor under

 

 

HB5938 Enrolled- 157 -LRB098 18594 HLH 53735 b

1the arrangement.
2    (d) The lender under a revolving credit arrangement may
3provide credit life insurance or credit accident and health
4insurance, or both, with respect to the debtor and may charge
5the debtor therefor. Credit life insurance and credit accident
6and health insurance, and any charge therefor made to the
7debtor, shall comply with Article IX 1/2 of the Illinois
8Insurance Code, as now or hereafter amended, and all lawful
9requirements of the Director of Insurance related thereto. This
10insurance is in force with respect to each loan or advance made
11under a revolving credit arrangement as soon as the loan or
12advance is made. The purchase of this insurance from an agent,
13broker or insurer specified by the lender may not be a
14condition precedent to the revolving credit arrangement or to
15the making of any loan or advance thereunder.
16    (e) Whenever interest is contracted for or received under
17this Section, no amount in addition to the charges authorized
18by this Act may be directly or indirectly charged, contracted
19for or received whether as interest, service charges, costs of
20investigations or enforcements or otherwise.
21    (f) The lender under a revolving credit arrangement must
22compute at year end the total amount charged to the debtor's
23account during the year, including service charges, finance
24charges, late charges and any other charges authorized by this
25Act, and upon request must furnish such information to the
26debtor within 30 days after the end of the year, or if the

 

 

HB5938 Enrolled- 158 -LRB098 18594 HLH 53735 b

1account has been terminated during such year, may give such
2requested information within 30 days after such termination.
3The lender shall annually inform the debtor of his right to
4obtain such information.
5    (g) A lender who complies with the federal Truth in Lending
6Act, amendments thereto, and any regulations issued or which
7may be issued thereunder, shall be deemed to be in compliance
8with the provisions of subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this
9Section.
10    (h) Anything in this Section 4.2 to the contrary
11notwithstanding, if the Congress of the United States or any
12federal agency authorizes any class of lenders to enter, within
13limitations, into a revolving credit arrangement secured by a
14mortgage or deed of trust on residential real property, any
15person, firm, corporation or other entity, not otherwise
16prohibited by the Congress of the United States or any federal
17agency from entering into revolving credit arrangements
18secured by a mortgage or deed of trust on residential real
19property, may enter into such arrangements within the same
20limitations.

5(excluding interest) which is evidenced by a written instrument
6providing for the payment thereof in 2 or more periodic

22    under the Illinois Savings and Loan Act of 1985, a savings
23    bank chartered under the Savings Bank Act, or a federal
24    savings and loan association established under the laws of
25    the United States and having its main office in this State;

HB5938 Enrolled- 160 -LRB098 18594 HLH 53735 b

1    Finance Act or the Consumer Installment Loan Act, but in
2    any case in which interest is received, contracted for or
3    collected on the basis of this clause (i), the debtor may
4    satisfy in full at any time before maturity the debt
5    evidenced by the written instrument, and in so satisfying
6    must receive a refund credit against the total amount of
7    interest added to the principal computed in the manner
8    provided under Section 15(f)(3) of the Consumer
9    Installment Loan Act for refunds or credits of applicable
10    interest on payment in full of precomputed loans before the
11    final installment due date; or
12        (ii) interest accrued on the principal balance from
13    time to time remaining unpaid, from the date of making of
14    the loan or the incurring of the obligation to the date of
15    the payment of the debt in full, at a rate not exceeding
16    the annual percentage rate equivalent of the rate permitted
17    to be charged under clause (i) above, but in any such case
18    the debtor may, provided that the debtor shall have paid in
19    full all interest and other charges accrued to the date of
20    such prepayment, prepay the principal balance in full or in
21    part at any time, and interest shall, upon any such
22    prepayment, cease to accrue on the principal amount which
23    has been prepaid.
24    (b) Whenever the principal amount of an installment loan is
25$300 or more and the repayment period is 6 months or more, a
26minimum charge of $15 may be collected instead of interest, but

 

 

HB5938 Enrolled- 161 -LRB098 18594 HLH 53735 b

1only one minimum charge may be collected from the same person
2during one year. When the principal amount of the loan
3(excluding interest) is $800 or less, the lender or creditor
4may contract for and receive a service charge not to exceed $5
5in addition to interest; and that service charge may be
6collected when the loan is made, but only one service charge
7may be contracted for, received, or collected from the same
8person during one year.
9    (c) Credit life insurance and credit accident and health
10insurance, and any charge therefor which is deducted from the
11loan or paid by the obligor, must comply with Article IX 1/2 of
12the Illinois Insurance Code and all lawful requirements of the
13Director of Insurance related thereto. When there are 2 or more
14obligors on the loan contract, only one charge for credit life
15insurance and credit accident and health insurance may be made
16and only one of the obligors may be required to be insured.
17Insurance obtained from, by or through the lender or creditor
18must be in effect when the loan is transacted. The purchase of
19that insurance from an agent, broker or insurer specified by
20the lender or creditor may not be a condition precedent to the
21granting of the loan.
22    (d) The lender or creditor may require the obligor to
23provide property insurance on security other than household
24goods, furniture and personal effects. The amount and term of
25the insurance must be reasonable in relation to the amount and
26term of the loan contract and the type and value of the

 

 

HB5938 Enrolled- 162 -LRB098 18594 HLH 53735 b

1security, and the insurance must be procured in accordance with
2the insurance laws of this State. The purchase of that
3insurance from an agent, broker or insurer specified by the
4lender or creditor may not be a condition precedent to the
5granting of the loan.
6    (e) The lender or creditor may, if the contract provides,
7collect a delinquency and collection charge on each installment
8in default for a period of not less than 10 days in an amount
9not exceeding 5% of the installment on installments in excess
10of $200 or $10 on installments of $200 or less, but only one
11delinquency and collection charge may be collected on any
12installment regardless of the period during which it remains in
13default. In addition, the contract may provide for the payment
14by the borrower or debtor of attorney's fees incurred by the
15lender or creditor. The lender or creditor may enforce such a
16provision to the extent of the reasonable attorney's fees
17incurred by him in the collection or enforcement of the
18contract or obligation. Whenever interest is contracted for or
19received under this Section, no amount in addition to the
20charges authorized by this Section may be directly or
21indirectly charged, contracted for or received, except lawful
22fees paid to a public officer or agency to record, file or
23release security, and except costs and disbursements including
24reasonable attorney's fees, incurred in legal proceedings to
25collect a loan or to realize on a security after default. This
26Section does not prohibit the receipt of any commission,

1dividend or other benefit by the creditor or an employee,
2affiliate or associate of the creditor from the insurance
3authorized by this Section.

6obligor in a written statement before the loan is consummated:
7        (1) the amount and date of the loan contract;
8        (2) the amount of loan credit using the term "amount
9    financed";
10        (3) every deduction from the amount financed or payment
11    made by the obligor for insurance and the type of insurance
12    for which each deduction or payment was made;
13        (4) every other deduction from the loan or payment made
14    by the obligor in connection with obtaining the loan;
15        (5) the date on which the finance charge begins to
16    accrue if different from the date of the transaction;
17        (6) the total amount of the loan charge for the
18    scheduled term of the loan contract with a description of
19    each amount included using the term "finance charge";
20        (7) the finance charge expressed as an annual
21    percentage rate using the term "annual percentage rate".
22    "Annual percentage rate" means the nominal annual
23    percentage rate of finance charge determined in accordance
24    with the actuarial method of computation with an accuracy
25    at least to the nearest 1/4 of 1%; or at the option of the
26    lender by application of the United States rule so that it

 

 

HB5938 Enrolled- 164 -LRB098 18594 HLH 53735 b

1    may be disclosed with an accuracy at least to the nearest
2    1/4 of 1%;
3        (8) the number, amount and due dates or periods of
4    payments scheduled to repay the loan and the sum of such
5    payments using the term "total of payments";
6        (9) the amount, or method of computing the amount of
7    any default, delinquency or similar charges payable in the
8    event of late payments;
9        (10) the right of the obligor to prepay the loan and

13    security interest held or to be retained or acquired by the
14    lender in connection with the loan and a clear
15    identification of the property to which the security
16    interest relates. If after-acquired property will be
17    subject to the security interest, or if other or future
18    indebtedness is or may be secured by any such property,
19    this fact shall be clearly set forth in conjunction with
20    the description or identification of the type of security
21    interest held, retained or acquired;
22        (12) a description of any penalty charge that may be
23    imposed by the lender for prepayment of the principal of
24    the obligation with an explanation of the method of
25    computation of such penalty and the conditions under which
26    it may be imposed;

 

 

HB5938 Enrolled- 165 -LRB098 18594 HLH 53735 b

1        (13) unless the contract provides for the accrual and
2    payment of the finance charge on the balance of the amount
3    financed from time to time remaining unpaid, an
4    identification of the method of computing any unearned
5    portion of the finance charge in the event of prepayment of
6    the loan.

9required by this Section.
10    (g) At the time disclosures are made, the lender shall
11deliver to the obligor a duplicate of the instrument or
12statement by which the required disclosures are made and on
13which the lender and obligor are identified and their addresses
14stated. All of the disclosures shall be made clearly,

20    where a creditor elects to combine disclosures with the
21    contract, security agreement, and evidence of a
22    transaction in a single document, the disclosures required
23    under this Section shall be made on the face of the
24    document, on the reverse side, or on both sides, provided
25    that the amount of the finance charge and the annual
26    percentage rate shall appear on the face of the document,

 

 

HB5938 Enrolled- 166 -LRB098 18594 HLH 53735 b

1    and, if the reverse side is used, the printing on both
2    sides of the document shall be equally clear and
3    conspicuous, both sides shall contain the statement,
4    "NOTICE: See other side for important information", and the
5    place for the customer's signature shall be provided
6    following the full content of the document; or
7        (ii) one side of a separate statement which identifies
8    the transaction.
9    The amount of the finance charge shall be determined as the
10sum of all charges, payable directly or indirectly by the
11obligor and imposed directly or indirectly by the lender as an
12incident to or as a condition to the extension of credit,
13whether paid or payable by the obligor, any other person on
14behalf of the obligor, to the lender or to a third party,

1    coverage is not required by the lender and this fact is
2    clearly and conspicuously disclosed in writing to the
3    obligor; and (b) any obligor desiring such insurance
4    coverage gives specific dated and separately signed
5    affirmative written indication of such desire after
6    receiving written disclosure to him of the cost of such
7    insurance.
8        (6) Charges or premiums for insurance, written in
9    connection with any credit transaction, against loss of or
10    damage to property or against liability arising out of the
11    ownership or use of property, unless a clear, conspicuous,

13    lender to the obligor setting forth the cost of the
14    insurance if obtained from or through the lender and
15    stating that the obligor may choose the person through
16    which the insurance is to be obtained.

22    the obligor is required to pay any part of that charge in
23    cash, as an addition to the obligation, or as a deduction
24    from the proceeds of the obligation.
25    A late payment, delinquency, default, reinstatement or
26other such charge is not a finance charge if imposed for actual

1unanticipated late payment, delinquency, default or other
2occurrence.
3    (h) Advertising for loans transacted under this Section may
4not be false, misleading, or deceptive. That advertising, if it
5states a rate or amount of interest, must state that rate as an
6annual percentage rate of interest charged. In addition, if
7charges other than for interest are made in connection with
8those loans, those charges must be separately stated. No
9advertising may indicate or imply that the rates or charges for
10loans are in any way "recommended", "approved", "set" or
11"established" by the State government or by this Act.
12    (i) A lender or creditor who complies with the federal
13Truth in Lending Act, amendments thereto, and any regulations
