About HB-2570

Mortgage Fairness Act of 2017 This bill amends the Truth in Lending Act to revise the definition of "points and fees," for purposes of determining whether a mortgage is a "high-cost mortgage," to:

  • (1) exclude compensation taken into account in setting the interest rate and for which the consumer was not separately charged, and
  • (2) include compensation paid by a consumer or creditor to an individual employed by or contracting with a mortgage originator

(A high-cost mortgage designation restricts the terms of a loan and requires a lender to make certain disclosures to the borrower.)
