        Creates the Mortgage Assignment Recording Act. Provides  that  it

   of the assignment, and if the interest is paid to the assignee by  the      
   mortgagor,  the  interest  shall  be  returned  to  the mortgagor with      
   interest at the interest rate of the subject mortgage  together   with      
   attorney's  fees  and  costs,  after  written demand is made. Provides

   assignment.  Provides  that  the  assignee  may avoid penalties if the      
   assignee records the assignment within  30  days  of  receipt  of  the      
   notice. Contains provisions regarding existing mortgage assignments.
