Jerry Brown signs the two bills into law, large lenders will be required to provide a single point of contact for homeowners who want to discuss loan modifications. They will not be able to foreclose while considering homeowners’ requests for alternatives to foreclosure. And homeowners will have stronger grounds for suing lenders to stop foreclosures or seek monetary damages if the lender violates state law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Assembly passed the legislation by a vote 53 to 25, and the Senate quickly followed with a 25-13 approval.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents in both houses cast the legislation as an invitation to frivolous lawsuits. They said it would lower home values by creating uncertainty in the real estate market. “This will be a field day for trial attorneys,” said Doug LaMalfa, R-Butte.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, a sponsor of the legislation, argued that the bill had been narrowed so that lenders could avoid being sued if they follow the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier in the day, \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201207020900\">KQED’s Forum\u003c/a> hosted a conversation with advocates and opponents of the legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the \u003ca href=\"http://www.californiareport.org/archive/R201207020850/a\">California Report\u003c/a> interviewed Paul Leonard, director of the Oakland Office of the Center for Responsible Lending\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s some background from the Associated Press:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The protections would benefit all California homeowners, not just those whose mortgages are with the five banks that signed the national settlement in February. And many of the restrictions would become permanent, while those in the nationwide agreement will end after five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jose Vega drove 70 miles to Sacramento with his two young children to lobby lawmakers to pass the legislation after he spent three years battling to keep his home in the San Francisco-area city of Pittsburg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In November 2009, he said he found a trustee sale notice posted on his door 16 days after he was placed in a loan modification program. He was put into another modification program in the spring of 2010, only to have the bank again begin foreclosure proceedings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vega, 52, eventually kept his home after filing for bankruptcy and getting help from the office of Democratic U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein. Now he and his family owe $466,000 _ including the bank’s legal fees _ on a home he said is worth about $200,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not asking for a handout. All I’m saying is, you created this mess, let’s work something out,” said Vega a member of the Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment. “Hopefully, California will lead the way so other states will follow.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorney General Kamala Harris said the compromise legislation negotiated with lawmakers “is going to bring transparency and fairness to California homeowners in a way they’ve never had before.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She helped negotiate the February settlement that requires Bank of America Corp., JPMorgan Chase & Co., Wells Fargo & Co., Citigroup Inc. and Ally Financial Inc. to pay $18 billion in penalties to California homeowners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Key portions of her original proposal to write the settlement into state law were stalled by opposition from some of her fellow Democrats in the Legislature, until the right to sue banks and other measures were significantly narrowed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This legislation can be the catalyst not only for a recovery of California’s real estate market, but a catalyst across the nation as borrowers everywhere will demand the same protections given to California borrowers, the same protections given to our families,” said Assemblyman Mike Feuer, D-Los Angeles, a member of the conference committee that negotiated the bill. “And those protections boil down to this: They ought to be treated fairly, they ought to be treated consistently.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lenders’ organizations joined by the California Chamber of Commerce said in a letter to lawmakers on Friday that the final legislation is an improvement, though they still fear it will “encourage frivolous litigation” by borrowers who cannot realistically afford to stay in their homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lending industry cited a study it commissioned by Beacon Economics, a Los Angeles-based research firm. It echoes industry arguments that letting homeowners sue their lenders, even in limited circumstances, will delay foreclosures and increase lenders’ costs, potentially harming the shaky housing recovery and making it more difficult and costly to obtain mortgages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislation can’t address what lenders say is the underlying problem: too many borrowers can’t afford their payments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we extend this, what we’re doing is making a bad situation worse,” Assemblywoman Diane Harkey, R-Dana Point, said in arguing against the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of the bill say it still takes important steps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The point is … not to launch an avalanche of lawsuits. What it’s really about is having some meaningful accountability to ensure that servicers follow the rules,” said Paul Leonard, director of the California office of the Center for Responsible Lending, a consumer group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Previous efforts have repeatedly failed to clear the Legislature. Leonard said the national mortgage settlement and Harris’ involvement are likely to make the difference this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Noreen Evans, D-Santa Rosa, who co-chaired the conference committee that negotiated the bill, said Brown’s administration worked with Democrats on the legislation and has given every indication he would sign it into law. However, Brown declined to comment as he left the office of Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, moments before the vote.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

They said it would lower home values by creating uncertainty in the real estate market. “This will be a field day for trial attorneys,” said Doug LaMalfa, R-Butte.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, a sponsor of the legislation, argued that the bill had been narrowed so that lenders could avoid being sued if they follow the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier in the day, \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201207020900\">KQED’s Forum\u003c/a> hosted a conversation with advocates and opponents of the legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the \u003ca href=\"http://www.californiareport.org/archive/R201207020850/a\">California Report\u003c/a> interviewed Paul Leonard, director of the Oakland Office of the Center for Responsible Lending\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s some background from the Associated Press:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The protections would benefit all California homeowners, not just those whose mortgages are with the five banks that signed the national settlement in February. And many of the restrictions would become permanent, while those in the nationwide agreement will end after five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jose Vega drove 70 miles to Sacramento with his two young children to lobby lawmakers to pass the legislation after he spent three years battling to keep his home in the San Francisco-area city of Pittsburg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In November 2009, he said he found a trustee sale notice posted on his door 16 days after he was placed in a loan modification program. He was put into another modification program in the spring of 2010, only to have the bank again begin foreclosure proceedings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vega, 52, eventually kept his home after filing for bankruptcy and getting help from the office of Democratic U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein. Now he and his family owe $466,000 _ including the bank’s legal fees _ on a home he said is worth about $200,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not asking for a handout. All I’m saying is, you created this mess, let’s work something out,” said Vega a member of the Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment. “Hopefully, California will lead the way so other states will follow.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorney General Kamala Harris said the compromise legislation negotiated with lawmakers “is going to bring transparency and fairness to California homeowners in a way they’ve never had before.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She helped negotiate the February settlement that requires Bank of America Corp., JPMorgan Chase & Co., Wells Fargo & Co., Citigroup Inc. and Ally Financial Inc. to pay $18 billion in penalties to California homeowners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Key portions of her original proposal to write the settlement into state law were stalled by opposition from some of her fellow Democrats in the Legislature, until the right to sue banks and other measures were significantly narrowed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This legislation can be the catalyst not only for a recovery of California’s real estate market, but a catalyst across the nation as borrowers everywhere will demand the same protections given to California borrowers, the same protections given to our families,” said Assemblyman Mike Feuer, D-Los Angeles, a member of the conference committee that negotiated the bill. “And those protections boil down to this: They ought to be treated fairly, they ought to be treated consistently.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lenders’ organizations joined by the California Chamber of Commerce said in a letter to lawmakers on Friday that the final legislation is an improvement, though they still fear it will “encourage frivolous litigation” by borrowers who cannot realistically afford to stay in their homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lending industry cited a study it commissioned by Beacon Economics, a Los Angeles-based research firm. It echoes industry arguments that letting homeowners sue their lenders, even in limited circumstances, will delay foreclosures and increase lenders’ costs, potentially harming the shaky housing recovery and making it more difficult and costly to obtain mortgages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislation can’t address what lenders say is the underlying problem: too many borrowers can’t afford their payments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we extend this, what we’re doing is making a bad situation worse,” Assemblywoman Diane Harkey, R-Dana Point, said in arguing against the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of the bill say it still takes important steps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The point is … not to launch an avalanche of lawsuits. What it’s really about is having some meaningful accountability to ensure that servicers follow the rules,” said Paul Leonard, director of the California office of the Center for Responsible Lending, a consumer group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Previous efforts have repeatedly failed to clear the Legislature. Leonard said the national mortgage settlement and Harris’ involvement are likely to make the difference this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Noreen Evans, D-Santa Rosa, who co-chaired the conference committee that negotiated the bill, said Brown’s administration worked with Democrats on the legislation and has given every indication he would sign it into law. However, Brown declined to comment as he left the office of Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, moments before the vote.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Last month, as Harris was scheduled to testify before the California Assembly’s Senate Banking and Finance Committee, two of the bills were pulled by committee chairman Mike Eng of Monterey Park — a Democrat. Since then, in hopes of rescuing the plan, the leadership shuffled the package to a joint conference committee, which held hearings this afternoon. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yesterday, to find out just what the hell happened, I turned to John Myers, \u003ca href=\"http://www.news10.net/capitol/\">Political Editor at News10 in Sacramento\u003c/a> and our former colleague here at KQED. Here’s his take: \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: So here you had a Democratic Attorney General, a big Democratic majority in both houses, and an issue that would seem to be can’t-miss with the public — holding the banks more accountable during the foreclosure process. So what happened?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHN MYERS, NEWS 10 POLITICAL EDITOR\u003c/strong>: The bills, so far, have run into the most familiar of legislative hurdles: powerful lobbyists. The banking industry is a brawny fighter in Sacramento’s inside political game, and it’s pushed back in a big way on these bills — bills pushed not only by Harris, but also by Assembly Speaker John Perez and Senate President pro Tem Darrell Steinberg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: What was the big impediment to passing the bills? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHN MYERS\u003c/strong>: The major sticking point seems to be the banking industry’s assertion that the mortgage crisis was a one-time thing and thus permanent new rules (some which would codify the national settlement Harris helped negotiate) are an overreaction. A number of moderate, business-friendly Democrats in both houses seemed sympathetic to the banking industry’s position.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: Any indications by Harris on a willingness to compromise? And how bad does it look for her that she announced the thing with such fanfare and then couldn’t get it done? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHN MYERS\u003c/strong>: Today’s hearing will be the first test since last month’s abrupt switch by Democratic leaders to a plan B strategy. I think the last few weeks have been eye-opening for Harris, whose experience is the courtroom and the settlement table…not the Capitol. I saw her before last month’s hearing, camped out in the hallway with staff trying to count votes. The roadblock seemed to surprise her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong> What’s the outlook now? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHN MYERS\u003c/strong>:The bills were rescued by Perez and Steinberg by placing them in a joint conference committee. That way, there’s only one step (one committee) before floor votes, versus multiple committee votes where they could be picked off, one by one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: And how bad would this look for Democrats that they can’t get this passed? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHN MYERS\u003c/strong> There’s still a lot of time left before the Legislature adjourns in August, so never say never. The real question is whether the package of bills — bans on robosigning, forcing more transparency during foreclosure, etc — will be amended as a concession to the financial industry, and whether amended bills are better than no bills.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Below is an \u003ca href=\"http://www.couragecampaign.org/page/s/what-legalized-bribery-looks-like\">ad by the Courage Campaign\u003c/a> that attempts to put pressure on Assemblyman Felipe Fuentes, a Sylmar Democrat, to vote for the bills. Fuentes told the Sacramento Bee, for an \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/2012/05/07/4470589/mortgage-legislation-splits-california.html\">article about how the issue has split Democrats\u003c/a>, that he was “disappointed that they misconstrued and outright lied” in the video.

We are, however, concerned with the avoidance of the typical legislative process that would involve policy and fiscal committee hearings, as well as floor debates throughout the legislative year, which ends in August.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Despite public declaration of the desire to produce a legislative product within a ‘few weeks’, we encourage the committee to give full and complete consideration to the importance of these issues and deliberate methodically. These issues and the people of California deserve thoughtful discourse given the consequences if done incorrectly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We strongly believe that in promoting these measures in advance of national servicing standards the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) intends to release this summer with an effective date of Jan. 1, 2013, California risks setting itself apart from the rest of the nation to the detriment of future borrowers. We intend to be an active participant in the conference committee process, but we strongly feel that the most problematic areas of the legislation, outlined below, must be addressed and resolved before the committee refers any bill to a full vote of the Legislature. We believe the elements of a reasonable solution include:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Non-approval notice provided to borrower detailing reason for non-approval of loan modification or foreclosure avoidance post-notice of default, but prior to the notice of sale (NOS). Consideration of a loan modification is contingent upon the receipt of a complete loan modification application from the borrower prior to the NOS.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Language that there is no right to a loan modification and no corresponding California legal requirement to offer a modification or have a modification program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Eligibility qualifiers. The current measures fail to narrowly target at-risk borrowers. Legislation should apply only to residential 1-4 properties that are owner occupied and serve as the primary residence of the borrower. No investors, speculators or strategic defaulters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Consistent point of contact, who serves as the primary contact, provided at the request of a borrower who is potentially eligible for loss mitigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Language that acknowledges and allows for CFPB federal servicing standards (to be promulgated this summer), enforcement orders or settlements to override state law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-No private right of action. Legal devices should not be used to unduly delay the inevitable when other foreclosure avoidance options have been exhausted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Provide a right to cure upon notice without court intervention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Exemption for mortgage servicers who signed, or subsequently sign, the national mortgage settlement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Sunset date to coincide with the end of the national mortgage settlement (3½ years from the date entered into.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California’s banking industry will continue to seek and advocate for reasonable solutions that provide meaningful consumer protections that avoid long-term damage to the marketplace, cause industry to exit residential lending and increase the cost of credit. We look forward to the upcoming debate and discussion.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\n",

Last month, as Harris was scheduled to testify before the California Assembly’s Senate Banking and Finance Committee, two of the bills were pulled by committee chairman Mike Eng of Monterey Park — a Democrat. Since then, in hopes of rescuing the plan, the leadership shuffled the package to a joint conference committee, which held hearings this afternoon. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yesterday, to find out just what the hell happened, I turned to John Myers, \u003ca href=\"http://www.news10.net/capitol/\">Political Editor at News10 in Sacramento\u003c/a> and our former colleague here at KQED.

So what happened?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHN MYERS, NEWS 10 POLITICAL EDITOR\u003c/strong>: The bills, so far, have run into the most familiar of legislative hurdles: powerful lobbyists. The banking industry is a brawny fighter in Sacramento’s inside political game, and it’s pushed back in a big way on these bills — bills pushed not only by Harris, but also by Assembly Speaker John Perez and Senate President pro Tem Darrell Steinberg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: What was the big impediment to passing the bills? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHN MYERS\u003c/strong>: The major sticking point seems to be the banking industry’s assertion that the mortgage crisis was a one-time thing and thus permanent new rules (some which would codify the national settlement Harris helped negotiate) are an overreaction. A number of moderate, business-friendly Democrats in both houses seemed sympathetic to the banking industry’s position.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: Any indications by Harris on a willingness to compromise? And how bad does it look for her that she announced the thing with such fanfare and then couldn’t get it done? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHN MYERS\u003c/strong>: Today’s hearing will be the first test since last month’s abrupt switch by Democratic leaders to a plan B strategy. I think the last few weeks have been eye-opening for Harris, whose experience is the courtroom and the settlement table…not the Capitol. I saw her before last month’s hearing, camped out in the hallway with staff trying to count votes. The roadblock seemed to surprise her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong> What’s the outlook now? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHN MYERS\u003c/strong>:The bills were rescued by Perez and Steinberg by placing them in a joint conference committee. That way, there’s only one step (one committee) before floor votes, versus multiple committee votes where they could be picked off, one by one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: And how bad would this look for Democrats that they can’t get this passed? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JOHN MYERS\u003c/strong> There’s still a lot of time left before the Legislature adjourns in August, so never say never. The real question is whether the package of bills — bans on robosigning, forcing more transparency during foreclosure, etc — will be amended as a concession to the financial industry, and whether amended bills are better than no bills.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Below is an \u003ca href=\"http://www.couragecampaign.org/page/s/what-legalized-bribery-looks-like\">ad by the Courage Campaign\u003c/a> that attempts to put pressure on Assemblyman Felipe Fuentes, a Sylmar Democrat, to vote for the bills.

We are, however, concerned with the avoidance of the typical legislative process that would involve policy and fiscal committee hearings, as well as floor debates throughout the legislative year, which ends in August.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Despite public declaration of the desire to produce a legislative product within a ‘few weeks’, we encourage the committee to give full and complete consideration to the importance of these issues and deliberate methodically. These issues and the people of California deserve thoughtful discourse given the consequences if done incorrectly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We strongly believe that in promoting these measures in advance of national servicing standards the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) intends to release this summer with an effective date of Jan. 1, 2013, California risks setting itself apart from the rest of the nation to the detriment of future borrowers. We intend to be an active participant in the conference committee process, but we strongly feel that the most problematic areas of the legislation, outlined below, must be addressed and resolved before the committee refers any bill to a full vote of the Legislature. We believe the elements of a reasonable solution include:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Non-approval notice provided to borrower detailing reason for non-approval of loan modification or foreclosure avoidance post-notice of default, but prior to the notice of sale (NOS). Consideration of a loan modification is contingent upon the receipt of a complete loan modification application from the borrower prior to the NOS.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Language that there is no right to a loan modification and no corresponding California legal requirement to offer a modification or have a modification program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Eligibility qualifiers. The current measures fail to narrowly target at-risk borrowers. Legislation should apply only to residential 1-4 properties that are owner occupied and serve as the primary residence of the borrower. No investors, speculators or strategic defaulters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Consistent point of contact, who serves as the primary contact, provided at the request of a borrower who is potentially eligible for loss mitigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Language that acknowledges and allows for CFPB federal servicing standards (to be promulgated this summer), enforcement orders or settlements to override state law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-No private right of action. Legal devices should not be used to unduly delay the inevitable when other foreclosure avoidance options have been exhausted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Provide a right to cure upon notice without court intervention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Exemption for mortgage servicers who signed, or subsequently sign, the national mortgage settlement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Sunset date to coincide with the end of the national mortgage settlement (3½ years from the date entered into.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California’s banking industry will continue to seek and advocate for reasonable solutions that provide meaningful consumer protections that avoid long-term damage to the marketplace, cause industry to exit residential lending and increase the cost of credit. We look forward to the upcoming debate and discussion.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Similarly, activity this month in Contra Costa County increased 17 percent and Alameda County 15 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But several regions outside the Bay Area are faring far worse. While the San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont metro area ranks 28th nationally in foreclosure rates and Vallejo-Fairfield ranks fourth, the Stockton area ranks second.

Similarly, activity this month in Contra Costa County increased 17 percent and Alameda County 15 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But several regions outside the Bay Area are faring far worse.
