The Define Mortgage Bill
New rule would define mortgage loans for flood warnings
An Act Defining "mortgage Loan" For Purposes Of Certain Notice Provisions Relating To Flood Damage And Insurance.
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
This bill would clearly define what a 'mortgage loan' is for rules about telling people about flood damage and insurance.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
This bill would make clear what a 'mortgage loan' means for rules about flood damage and insurance notices. This could help people know exactly when they should get warnings about floods and what their insurance covers. Or, it could make it so some loans are not included, meaning fewer people get important flood notices. It is important to know the exact definition to see if it helps or hurts regular people.
