PROPERTY/CASUALTY INSURANCE S.B. 537 (S-1): FLOOR ANALYSIS
Senate Bill 537 (Substitute S-1 as reported) Sponsor: Senator Michael J. Bouchard Committee: Financial Services
The bill would amend the credit union Act to specify that a credit union that required a mortgagor to maintain property/casualty insurance as a condition to receiving a mortgage loan could not require the amount of the property/casualty insurance to be greater than the replacement cost of the mortgaged building or buildings. A bank could require, however, an amount of property/casualty insurance that was required of the bank as a condition of a sale, transfer, or assignment of all or part of the mortgage to a third party. The bill would not require that a bank anticipate a sale, transfer, or assignment at the time the mortgage loan was made.
Proposed MCL 490.16b Legislative Analyst: P. Affholter
The bill would not affect the fiscal requirements or the borrowing or lending activities and programs of the Department of Commerce or of local governmental units.
