BILL NUMBER: S4875 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the banking law, in relation to refinancing of an existing mortgage loan PURPOSE : To ensure that consumers are appropriately informed when refinancing a mortgage and have the ability to compare the total monthly costs of the previous loan with the total monthly costs of the new loan. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : Section 595-a(3) of the Banking Law is amended to require mortgage brokers, mortgage bankers or exempt organizations to provide a special disclosure for any mortgage refinancing where the mortgagor will no longer be paying property tax or insurance premiums into an escrow account. In those cases, the disclosure must compare the total monthly payments under the previous loan with the combined monthly payments for the new loan, real property taxes and insurance. JUSTIFICATION : Consumers may refinance a mortgage loan for numerous reasons. An important consideration is the monthly cost of the new loan versus the monthly cost of the previous loan.
