Notice of Proposed Rule

(New Rule)

DAR File No.: 33098
Filed: 10/26/2009 11:34:17 AM

RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

This rule establishes the procedure to challenge information in the nationwide database.

Summary of the rule or change:

A mortgage loan originator or applicant may challenge the factual accuracy of information entered by the department into the nationwide database. This rule establishes the procedure to challenge that information.

State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

  • Section 70D-3-206

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

The proposed new rule will not require additional appropriations.

local governments:

Local governments are not involved in regulating mortgage loan originators and are therefore not subject to this rule.

small businesses:

The costs for conducting business as a mortgage loan originator, for those who were not previously required to license in the State of Utah, will increase. The Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act of 2008 ("SAFE Act"), was passed by Congress on 07/30/2008. The SAFE Act gave states one year to pass legislation requiring the licensure of mortgage loan originators according to national standards and the participation of state agencies on the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry (NMLS). As a result, the 2009 General Session of the Utah Legislature, passed H.B. 286 which requires individuals who transact business under Title 70D to be licensed to meet the requirements of the federal mandate. (DAR NOTE: H.B. 286 (2009) is found at Chapter 72, Laws of Utah 2009, and was effective 05/12/2009.)

persons other than small businesses, businesses, or local governmental entities:

The costs for conducting business as a mortgage loan originator, for those who were not previously required to license in the State of Utah, will increase. The SAFE Act was passed by Congress on 07/30/2008. The SAFE Act gave states one year to pass legislation requiring the licensure of mortgage loan originators according to national standards and the participation of state agencies on the NMLS. As a result, the 2009 General Session of the Utah Legislature, passed H.B. 286 which requires individuals who transact business under Title 70D to be licensed to meet the requirements of the federal mandate.

Compliance costs for affected persons:

The costs for conducting business as a mortgage loan originator, for those who were not previously required to license in the State of Utah, will increase. The SAFE Act was passed by Congress on 07/30/2008. The SAFE Act gave states one year to pass legislation requiring the licensure of mortgage loan originators according to national standards and the participation of state agencies on the NMLS. As a result, the 2009 General Session of the Utah Legislature, passed H.B. 286 which requires individuals who transact business under Title 70D to be licensed to meet the requirements of the federal mandate.

The SAFE Act was passed by Congress on 07/30/2008.
