Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to conduct reverse mortgage counseling.

This document shall contain the following statement:

"IMPORTANT NOTICE:

Under Illinois law, reverse mortgages are non-recourse loans secured by real or homestead property.

Reverse mortgages insured by the U.S.

Federal Government, known as Home Equity Conversion Mortgages or HECM loans, require people considering reverse mortgages to get counseling from a federally approved counselor working for a HECM counseling agency prior to applying for the loan.

The purpose of the counseling is to help the prospective borrower understand the financial implications, alternatives to securing a reverse mortgage, borrower obligations, costs of obtaining the loan, repayment conditions and other issues.

Counseling can also be a benefit to people considering reverse mortgages not insured by the federal government.

There are advantages to receiving this counseling in person, but it can also be conducted over the telephone.

Illinois State law requires reverse mortgage lenders to provide potential reverse mortgage borrowers with a list including contact information for all agencies with an office in Illinois that are approved by the U.S.

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to conduct reverse mortgage counseling.

Contact information for approved counseling agencies located SB1281 Engrossed - 6 - LRB099 08118 MGM 28267 b outside of Illinois is available from HUD.".

(b) The documents shall be updated and revised as often as deemed necessary by the Office of the Attorney General.

(c) At the time of the initial inquiry regarding a reverse mortgage or, if not practically feasible, at the time the lender provides additional written information about reverse mortgages, a lender shall provide to the borrower the documents prepared by the Office of the Attorney General under this Section.

Section 20.

Reverse mortgages cooling-off period.

(a) Any written commitment provided by the lender to the borrower must contain the material terms and conditions of the reverse mortgage.

That commitment may be subject to a satisfactory appraisal and the borrower meeting standard closing conditions.

(b) A borrower shall not be bound for 3 full business days after the borrower's acceptance, in writing, of a lender's written commitment to make a reverse mortgage loan and may not be required to close or proceed with the loan during that time period.

A borrower may not waive the provisions of this subsection (b).

(c) At the time of making a written commitment, the lender shall provide the borrower a separate document in at least 12-point font that contains the following statement:

"IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING THE COOLING-OFF PERIOD:

Illinois SB1281 Engrossed - 7 - LRB099 08118 MGM 28267 b State law requires a 3-day cooling-off period for reverse mortgage loans, during which time a potential borrower cannot be required to close or proceed with the loan.

The purpose of this requirement is to provide potential borrowers with 3 business days to consider their decision whether to secure a reverse mortgage or not.

Potential borrowers may want to seek additional information and an analysis of the commitment from a reverse mortgage counselor during this 3-day period.

The 3-day cooling-off period cannot be waived.".

46.

Loans and interest rate.

(1) A credit union may make loans to its members for such purpose and upon such security and terms, including rates of interest, as the credit committee, credit manager, or loan officer approves.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law in connection with extensions of credit, a credit union may elect to contract for and receive interest and fees and other charges for extensions of credit subject only to the provisions of this Act and rules promulgated under this Act, except that extensions of credit secured by residential real estate shall be subject to the laws applicable thereto.

The rates of interest to be charged on loans to members shall be set by the board of directors of each individual credit union in accordance with Section 30 of this Act and such rates may be less than, but may not exceed, the maximum rate set forth in this Section.

A borrower may repay his loan prior to maturity, in whole or in part, without penalty.

The credit contract may provide for the payment by the member and receipt by the credit SB1281 Engrossed - 20 - LRB099 08118 MGM 28267 b union of all costs and disbursements, including reasonable attorney's fees and collection agency charges, incurred by the credit union to collect or enforce the debt in the event of a delinquency by the member, or in the event of a breach of any obligation of the member under the credit contract.

A contingency or hourly arrangement established under an agreement entered into by a credit union with an attorney or collection agency to collect a loan of a member in default shall be presumed prima facie reasonable.

(2) Credit unions may make loans based upon the security of any interest or equity in real estate, subject to rules and regulations promulgated by the Secretary.

In any contract or loan which is secured by a mortgage, deed of trust, or conveyance in the nature of a mortgage, on residential real estate, the interest which is computed, calculated, charged, or collected pursuant to such contract or loan, or pursuant to any regulation or rule promulgated pursuant to this Act, may not be computed, calculated, charged or collected for any period of time occurring after the date on which the total indebtedness, with the exception of late payment penalties, is paid in full.

For purposes of this subsection (2) of this Section 46, a prepayment shall mean the payment of the total indebtedness, with the exception of late payment penalties if incurred or charged, on any date before the date specified in the contract or loan agreement on which the total indebtedness shall be paid in full, or before the date on which all payments, if timely SB1281 Engrossed - 21 - LRB099 08118 MGM 28267 b made, shall have been made.

In the event of a prepayment of the indebtedness which is made on a date after the date on which interest on the indebtedness was last computed, calculated, charged, or collected but before the next date on which interest on the indebtedness was to be calculated, computed, charged, or collected, the lender may calculate, charge and collect interest on the indebtedness for the period which elapsed between the date on which the prepayment is made and the date on which interest on the indebtedness was last computed, calculated, charged or collected at a rate equal to 1/360 of the annual rate for each day which so elapsed, which rate shall be applied to the indebtedness outstanding as of the date of prepayment.

The lender shall refund to the borrower any interest charged or collected which exceeds that which the lender may charge or collect pursuant to the preceding sentence.

The provisions of this amendatory Act of 1985 shall apply only to contracts or loans entered into on or after the effective date of this amendatory Act.

(3) (Blank).

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, a credit union authorized under this Act to make loans secured by an interest or equity in real estate may engage in making "reverse mortgage" loans to persons for the purpose of making home improvements or repairs, paying insurance premiums or paying real estate taxes on the homestead properties of such persons.

If made, such loans shall be made on such terms and conditions as the credit union shall determine and as shall be SB1281 Engrossed - 22 - LRB099 08118 MGM 28267 b consistent with the provisions of this Section and such rules and regulations as the Secretary shall promulgate hereunder.

For purposes of this Section, a "reverse mortgage" loan shall be a loan extended on the basis of existing equity in homestead property and secured by a mortgage on such property.

Such loans shall be repaid upon the sale of the property or upon the death of the owner or, if the property is in joint tenancy, upon the death of the last surviving joint tenant who had such an interest in the property at the time the loan was initiated, provided, however, that the credit union and its member may by mutual agreement, establish other repayment terms.

A credit union, in making a "reverse mortgage" loan, may add deferred interest to principal or otherwise provide for the charging of interest or premiums on such deferred interest.

"Homestead" property, for purposes of this Section, means the domicile and contiguous real estate owned and occupied by the mortgagor.

(4) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Act, a credit union authorized under this Act to make loans secured by an interest or equity in real property may engage in making revolving credit loans secured by mortgages or deeds of trust on such real property or by security assignments of beneficial interests in land trusts.

For purposes of this Section, "revolving credit" has the meaning defined in Section 4.1 of the Interest Act.

Any mortgage or deed of trust given to secure a revolving credit loan may, and when so expressed therein shall, secure SB1281 Engrossed - 23 - LRB099 08118 MGM 28267 b not only the existing indebtedness but also such future advances, whether such advances are obligatory or to be made at the option of the lender, or otherwise, as are made within twenty years from the date thereof, to the same extent as if such future advances were made on the date of the execution of such mortgage or deed of trust, although there may be no advance made at the time of execution of such mortgage or other instrument, and although there may be no indebtedness outstanding at the time any advance is made.

The lien of such mortgage or deed of trust, as to third persons without actual notice thereof, shall be valid as to all such indebtedness and future advances form the time said mortgage or deed of trust is filed for record in the office of the recorder of deeds or the registrar of titles of the county where the real property described therein is located.

The total amount of indebtedness that may be so secured may increase or decrease from time to time, but the total unpaid balance so secured at any one time shall not exceed a maximum principal amount which must be specified in such mortgage or deed of trust, plus interest thereon, and any disbursements made for the payment of taxes, special assessments, or insurance on said real property, with interest on such disbursements.

Any such mortgage or deed of trust shall be valid and have priority over all subsequent liens and encumbrances, including statutory liens, except taxes and assessments levied on said real property.

SB1281 Engrossed - 24 - LRB099 08118 MGM 28267 b (4-5) For purposes of this Section, "real estate" and "real property" include a manufactured home as defined in subdivision (53) of Section 9-102 of the Uniform Commercial Code which is real property as defined in Section 5-35 of the Conveyance and Encumbrance of Manufactured Homes as Real Property and Severance Act.

(5) Compliance with federal or Illinois preemptive laws or regulations governing loans made by a credit union chartered under this Act shall constitute compliance with this Act.

(6) Credit unions may make residential real estate mortgage loans on terms and conditions established by the United States Department of Agriculture through its Rural Development Housing and Community Facilities Program.

The portion of any loan in excess of the appraised value of the real estate shall be allocable only to the guarantee fee required under the program.

(7) For a renewal, refinancing, or restructuring of an existing loan that is secured by an interest or equity in real estate, a new appraisal of the collateral shall not be required when the transaction involves an existing extension of credit at the credit union, no new moneys are advanced other than funds necessary to cover reasonable closing costs, and there has been no obvious or material change in market conditions or physical aspects of the real estate that threatens the adequacy of the credit union's real estate collateral protection after the transaction.
