AI Summary

  • Amends Indiana's First Lien Mortgage Lending Act and Uniform Consumer Credit Code to update federal law references to December 31, 2011, and conform state mortgage regulations to Consumer Financial Protection Bureau interpretations and guidance

  • Expands the definition of "mortgage transaction" and "first lien mortgage transaction" to include land contracts, and clarifies that "creditor" and "mortgage loan originator" must be "regularly engaged" (more than 5 transactions annually) in mortgage lending to require licensing

  • Establishes new exemptions for bona fide nonprofit organizations from mortgage licensing requirements if they certify annually, maintain 501(c)(3) status, promote affordable housing, and originate mortgage transactions with terms favorable to debtors

  • Strengthens license revocation and suspension procedures for creditors, debt management companies, pawnbrokers, money transmitters, and check cashers by standardizing the process with 10-day notice requirements, written findings, and appeal procedures under IC 4-21.5

  • Updates multiple statutory references by replacing "Office of Thrift Supervision" with "primary federal regulator" throughout Indiana banking law to reflect the federal agency's dissolution under the Dodd-Frank Act
