GEORGIA S.A.F.E BILL

HIGHLIGHTS
The Georgia legislature passed and the Governor signed the bill establishing the Georgia requirements for mortgage loan originator (MLO) licensing under the federal Safe and Fair Enforcement Act (SAFE) passed in 2008. The statute is effective July 1, 2009.

In order to offer some guidance concerning the

deadlines and requirements, the following

information is provided. It should be noted that the

implementing regulations concerning

these

statutory changes to the Georgia Residential

Mortgage Act are in development and will be issued

for public comment shortly. Please watch this

publication for additional information.

Overview

Education requirements--Twenty hours of pre-
licensing education for the MLO's license from an education provider approved by the NMLS&R is required. The statute requires the passing of a system approved test with a minimum passing grade of 75%. Retest parameters are noted. NMLS&R is working with its education consultant to develop the course content, test requirements and validation, and delivery/ recordation methods for course information and test scores. It is anticipated that the course work and test will be available in Georgia in late October, 2009.

submit his/her completed MLO license application to the Department beginning January 1, 2010 through the NMLS&R. MLO licenses will be worked in the order submitted. All MLOs requiring licensing will need to be licensed by March 31, 2010.
DEADLINES - As noted, the dates contained
herein are anticipated education, background authorization and licensing deadline dates but are SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

Licensees who have successfully submitted their renewal and been approved should expect to receive their interim FY2010 license by the first week of July, 2009.

FINANCIAL INSTITUTION
LOAN ORIGINATOR REGISTRATION
(Note the following--The SAFE Act, requiring the licensing of mortgage loan originators, provides an exemption from licensing for employees of financial institutions which are regulated by certain financial institution regulatory agencies. The exemption is from LICENSING, but still requires these employees to be REGISTERED through the NMLS&R. )
The federal financial institution regulatory agencies (Agencies) are together issuing for public comment proposed rules requiring mortgage loan originators who are employees of Agency-regulated institutions to meet the registration requirements of the Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act of 2008 (SAFE Act). The proposal implements the requirement of the SAFE Act by providing that employees of regulated institutions who engage in the business of a mortgage loan originator are required to register with the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry (NMLS&R) and to obtain a unique identifier.
The proposed rule, in addition to implementing the SAFE Act requirements, also directs regulated institutions to have written policies and procedures in place to ensure that their employees who perform mortgage loan originations comply with the registration and other SAFE Act requirements.
The Federal Register notice and proposed rule can be found on the Federal Reserve's website at: http:// www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/press/bcreg/ bcreg20090601a1.pdf. The proposal will soon be published in the Federal Register and the comment period will end 30 days thereafter.

("License Renewals" - Continued from page 1)
License renewals for the new CALENDAR year licensing period will begin November 1, 2009, and those applications must be completed by December 31, 2010.
As noted in a previous edition of the Monthly Summary, and applying to broker/processor licensees only, continuing education (CE) credits for the Calendar Year 2010 license renewal period in November 2009 will not be required. For that one license renewal period only, the CE requirement will be waived. The requirement for the continuing education credits will be in place again with the renewal period beginning in November 2010 which is for the Calendar year 2011 license.
Generally, qualifying credits earned from April 1, 2009 to October 31, 2010 may be used to meet the broker/ processor continuing education requirements for the 2011 license. However, if any licensee made up credits from April 1 to June 30 of 2009 to qualify for the FY 2010 license (this current license renewal), those credits may not be used again.
HOLIDAY CLOSING The Department will be closed on Friday, July 3 for Independence Day.
