   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. The real property actions and proceedings law is amended by
 adding a new section 1393 to read as follows:
   § 1393. MORTGAGES IN DEFAULT. 1. NO LOCAL LAW, ORDINANCE OR RESOLUTION
 SHALL ALLOW FOR THE REGISTRATION OF  RESIDENTIAL  MORTGAGES  IN  DEFAULT
 PRIOR TO A MORTGAGEE FILING A NOTICE OF PENDENCY IN A COURT OF COMPETENT
 JURISDICTION.
   2. NO SUCH LOCAL LAW, ORDINANCE OR RESOLUTION SHALL REQUIRE A HOMEOWN-
 ER OR OCCUPANT TO REGISTER.
   3.  ANY  LOCAL LAW, ORDINANCE OR RESOLUTION THAT ALLOWS FOR THE REGIS-
 TRATION OF RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGES IN DEFAULT MAY  IMPOSE  A  REGISTRATION
 FEE  NOT EXCEEDING SEVENTY-FIVE DOLLARS ANNUALLY. A MORTGAGEE AND/OR ITS
 AGENTS ARE PROHIBITED FROM PASSING ALONG SUCH FEES TO THE  MORTGAGOR  IN
 DEFAULT.
   4.  FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION, A MORTGAGE DEFAULT OCCURS WHEN A
 MORTGAGOR FAILS TO FULFILL ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER A MORTGAGE AGREEMENT.
   5. "REGISTRATION" SHALL MEAN THE COLLECTION, PUBLICATION  OR  POSTING,
 PUBLIC  OR  OTHERWISE,  OF  RESIDENTIAL  MORTGAGES IN DEFAULT BY A LOCAL
 GOVERNING BODY OR AN AGENCY THEREOF,  OR  ANY  THIRD-PARTY  ENTITY  THAT
 CONTRACTS WITH SUCH LOCAL GOVERNING BODY.
   6.  "NOTICE  OF  PENDENCY"  SHALL  HAVE THE SAME MEANING AS DEFINED IN
 SECTION SIXTY-FIVE HUNDRED ONE OF THE CIVIL PRACTICE LAW AND RULES.
   7. A LOCAL GOVERNING BODY, THROUGH A LOCAL LAW,  ORDINANCE  OR  RESOL-
 UTION,  MAY  IMPOSE  A  FINE  ON A MORTGAGEE FOR NONCOMPLIANCE WITH THIS
 SECTION OR ANY LOCAL LAW, ORDINANCE OR RESOLUTION THAT  ALLOWS  FOR  THE
 REGISTRATION OF RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGES IN DEFAULT. A MORTGAGEE AND/OR ITS
 AGENTS  ARE PROHIBITED FROM PASSING ALONG SUCH FINES TO THE MORTGAGOR IN
 DEFAULT.
