01:55 PM -- HB17-1026

Senator Jones, sponsor, presented House Bill 17-1026 to the committee. A reverse mortgage provides a cash advance to the borrower based on the equity in the borrower's primary residence. Under current law, the borrower must repay the advance if he or she does not occupy the home as their primary residence, with exceptions for temporary absences of up to 60 days or, if the property is adequately secured, up to one year. The reengrossed bill, recommended by the Wildfire Matters Review Committee (committee), requires that, in 2017, the committee examine issues related to exceptions to the primary residence requirement for borrowers who are temporarily unable to occupy their home due to a natural disaster or an incident beyond the borrower's control that makes the home uninhabitable. The bill is repealed September 1, 2018.
