02:01 PM -- HB 16-1090
Senator Jahn introduced House Bill 16-1090, concerning excess foreclosure proceeds. The reengrossed bill limits the premiums that a person may charge for offering assistance in recovering the balance of the purchase price of a foreclosed property after all liens and claims against the property have been satisfied. It reduces the period during which the public trustee must hold these funds before transferring the funds to the Unclaimed Property Division of the State Treasurer's office from five years to two years.
Any contract for finder's fee payments during the first six months of the public trustee's custody of the funds and during the first two years of the State Treasurer's custody of the funds is voided, and the finder's fee is capped at 20 percent of the amount recovered once these periods expire. For amounts that have been in the custody of the State Treasurer for three years or more, the finder's fee is capped at 30 percent. The bill also imposes additional contract requirements for finders, such as disclosing that the owner of the funds may obtain the funds free of charge without a finder's assistance.
Senator Jahn provided amendment L.009 (Attachment A) and a handout (Attachment B) to the committee. She responded to questions from the committee.
