Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Residential Mortgage License Act of 1987, the High Risk Home Loan Act, and the Interest Act. Limits the imposition of prepayment penalties in connection with high risk home loans. Limits the size of balloon payments in connection with high risk home loans. Limits the imposition of late fees. Effective January 1, 2013.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 1
In the definition of the term "high risk home loan" provides for the interest limit associated with the prime offer rate to be established under the federal Truth in Lending Act. Excludes from the calculation certain bona fide third-party fees not retained by the lender, creditor, or affiliates. Removes certain restrictions on the financing of points and fees when the creditor or an affiliate of the creditor is the noteholder of the note being financed.

Replaces everything after the enacting clause with provisions of the bill as amended by House Amendment No. 1 and adds other provisions as follows. Amends the Illinois Housing Development Act. Modifies the Abandoned Residential Municipality Relief Program to include counties and provides specific descriptions of rehabilitation activities. Provides that 75% of the money in the Abandoned Residential Property Municipality Relief Fund shall be paid by the Illinois Housing Authority to municipalities, other than Chicago, and to counties (instead of to municipalities other than Chicago). Amends the Criminal Code of 1961. In provisions creating the offense of criminal trespass to real property, adds that the offense includes the intentional removal of a notice posted on abandoned residential real estate, but also provides that a mortgagee or a mortgagee's agent is exempt from prosecution from criminal trespass for securing abandoned residential real estate and is not liable in a civil action for negligence or civil trespass. Amends the Code of Civil Procedure. Defines abandoned residential property as residential real estate that: is not occupied by any mortgagor or lawful occupant as a residence or contains a structure that is uninhabited and needs to be repaired; and has 2 or more (instead of one or more) of certain characteristics. In provisions concerning a notice of foreclosure, provides that a copy of the notice shall be sent to the municipality or county by specifying which public official (including the appropriate alderman in a city with a population in excess of 2,000,000) should receive the notice by first class mail. Provides for an expedited foreclosure procedure for abandoned residential property, including court hearings to determine if the property is abandoned, notices to the mortgagor and any occupants of the property, and corresponding modifications to the report of sale and confirmation of sale procedures. Modifies dates concerning time limits in 2013 and 2014 to reflect changes in federal law under the Making Home Affordable Program. Provides that a mortgagor or a lawful occupant may appear at the hearing with a non-attorney who may assist, but not represent, the occupant. In provisions concerning the filing fee for foreclosure prevention, states that if a plaintiff, together with its affiliates, has total assets greater than $10,000,000,000, the plaintiff shall pay an additional filing fee of $500. Prohibits assessment of the fee against a bank that, together with its affiliates, has total assets of $10,000,000,000 or less. Provides that the fees shall be expended according to a specified formula. Provides that the Abandoned Residential Property Municipality Fund and the Foreclosure Prevention Program Fund are not subject to sweeps, administrative charge-backs, or any other fiscal maneuver that would transfer any amounts from those funds into any other fund. In provisions concerning the expedited judgment and sale procedure for abandoned residential property, provides that the court may not grant a motion for an expedited judgment and sale if the mortgagor, an unknown owner, or a lawful occupant appears in the action before or at the hearing and objects to a finding of abandonment. In provisions concerning a report of sale and confirmation of sale, provides that a mortgagee that has filed a motion to expedite the judgment and sale shall complete and submit to the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation a report concerning motions to expedite the judgment and sale during the reporting period. In provisions concerning the judicial sale fee collected for the Abandoned Residential Property Municipality Relief Fund, sets the fee at $750 (instead of a calculated fee, not to exceed $300), if the purchaser is a mortgagee (instead of any purchaser, with exceptions for mortgagees) acquiring the residential real estate pursuant to its credit bid at the sale or any mortgagee, judgment creditor, or other lienor acquiring the residential real estate whose rights in and to the residential real estate arose prior to the sale, provided that the purchaser is the mortgagee, judgment creditor, or other lienor, and the purchaser, together with its affiliates, has total assets greater than $10,000,000,000. Prohibits assessment of the fee against a bank that, together with its affiliates, has total assets of $10,000,000,000 or less. In a provision concerning the judicial sale fee for the Abandoned Residential Property Municipality Relief Fund, deletes a provision making the fee inoperative on January 1, 2018 as well as the provision's March 2, 2018 repeal date. Makes other changes. Effective immediately.

 Correctional Note, House Floor Amendment No. 2 (Dept of Corrections)
 There are no penalty enhancements associated with SB 3522 (H-AM 2). The bill would have no fiscal or population impact on the Department.

 Judicial Note, House Floor Amendment No. 2 (Admin Office of the Illinois Courts)
 Based on a review of the bill it has been determined that there may be a minimal increase in judicial workloads. However, it is not anticipated that the bill would increase the number of judges needed in the State.

 Land Conveyance Appraisal Note, House Floor Amendment No. 2 (Dept. of Transportation)
 No land conveyances are included in this bill; therefore, there are no appraisals to be filed.

 Pension Note, House Floor Amendment No. 2 (Government Forecasting & Accountability)
 SB 3522 (H-AM 2) will not impact any public pension fund or retirement system in Illinois.

 Housing Affordability Impact Note, House Floor Amendment No. 2 (Housing Development Authority)
 It is not possible to compute the cost of constructing, purchasing, owning, or selling a single-family residence by funding these activities. The type and level of securing, rehabilitation, and demolition will vary between municipalities, as will the costs. It is also unclear if these costs will be passed on to the next homebuyer for several reasons: (1) Home with severely reduced values may be demolished, resulting in no subsequent homeowner: (2) Property values of foreclosed homes often significantly decline due to their location and/or condition such that there is insufficient value to induce anyone to purchase the home; (3) The benefit of stabilized property values achieved by proper and timely maintenance of foreclosed homes likely outweighs the amount of the fees contemplated in this bill.

 Fiscal Note, House Floor Amendment No. 2 (Housing Development Authority)
 The total, combined estimated immediate fiscal impact of SB 3522 (H-AM 2) to the Illinois Housing Development Authority will be $558,000.

 State Debt Impact Note, House Floor Amendment No. 2 (Government Forecasting & Accountability)
 SB 3522, as amended by House Amendment 2, would not change the amount of authorization for any type of State-issued or State-supported bond, and, therefore, would not affect the level of State indebtedness.
