(1) In addition to any other requirements under federal or state
law, a residential mortgage loan may not be made unless a
disclosure summary of all material terms, as adopted by the
department in subsection (2) of this section, is placed on a
separate sheet of paper and has been provided by a financial
institution to the borrower within three business days following
receipt of a loan application. If any material terms of the
residential mortgage loan change before closing, a new disclosure
summary must be provided to the borrower within three days of any
such change or at least three days before closing, whichever is
earlier.
(2) The department shall adopt, by rule, a disclosure
summary form with a content and format containing simple,
plain-language terms that are reasonably understandable to the
average person without the aid of third-party resources and shall
include, but not be limited to, the following items: Fees and
discount points on the loan; interest rates of the loan; broker
fees; the broker's yield spread premium as a dollar amount;
whether the loan contains prepayment penalties; whether the loan
contains a balloon payment; whether the property taxes and
property insurance are escrowed; whether the loan payments will
adjust at the fully indexed rates; and whether there is a price
added or premium charged because the loan is based on reduced
documentation.
(3) The director may, at his or her discretion, require by
rule other information relating to a residential mortgage loan to
be included in the disclosure summary if the director determines
that it is necessary to protect consumers. The director may
adopt rules creating a standard form of disclosure summary to be
used as a guide by financial institutions in fulfilling the
requirements of this section.
