California Reenacts Homeowner Bill of Rights Foreclosure Prevention Provisions

California passed a bill reenacting foreclosure prevention provisions under the Homeowner Bill of Rights. The Homeowner Bill of Rights was enacted in 2012 and established a variety of foreclosure prevention provisions, including a prohibition on dual tracking (advancing the foreclosure process while the borrower is attempting to obtain a loan modification), and a requirement that servicers designate a single point of contact for borrowers seeking a foreclosure prevention alternative. The foreclosure prevention provisions applied to first lien loans secured by 1-to 4- family owner-occupied residences and had a sunset date of January 1, 2018. The reenacted foreclosure prevention provisions are effective January 1, 2019 and are substantially similar to the repealed provisions.
