Mortgage loan originators: educational requirements.
Summary
The California Finance Lenders Law and the California Residential Mortgage Lending Act define a mortgage loan originator as an individual who takes a residential mortgage loan application or offers or negotiates terms of a residential mortgage loan for compensation or gain. These laws require that mortgage loan originators be appropriately licensed and fulfill certain educational and other requirements. This bill would require, for the purpose of obtaining a mortgage loan originator license, that an applicant complete 2 hours of approved education related to relevant California law and regulation. The bill would require, for purposes of continuing educational requirements for mortgage loan originators, that a licensee complete one hour of continuing education related to relevant California law and regulation. The bill would specify that a test developed or deemed acceptable by the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry meets the requirement for a written test that an applicant for a mortgage loan originator must pass.
