Hi, I’m Adam De Sanctis. This is The Mortgage Minute, the latest news from the Mortgage Bankers Association. Monday is a big day, passing legislation that protects consumers from trigger lead abuses has been one of MBA’s top policy priorities for the last several years. We got close in the last Congress and our hard earned progress is paying off. This year, two weeks ago, the Senate passed its version of the MBA supported trigger leads bill by unanimous consent. Now on Monday afternoon, the full US House of Representatives is expected to vote on its slightly amended version of the bill. This highly anticipated vote comes on the heels of the House Financial Services Committee, advancing the bill out of the committee by unanimous bipartisan vote of 46 to zero two weeks ago. If you haven’t already, act now by participating in our Mortgage Action Alliance Call to action. Visit mba.org/takeaction to urge your representative to vote in favor of the bill. If the house passes the bill and we are confident that they will. The Senate in house will then need to reconcile the minor differences between the two bill versions so that a uniform bill can be sent to the president for enactment. The finish line is so close. We will continue to advocate for this important proposal to be signed into law as quickly as possible. Thank you for all your help.
