Mortgage guaranty insurance.

Existing law, beginning January 1, 2018, requires, among other things, that a mortgage guaranty insurer limit its coverage to no more than a net of 30% at risk of the entire indebtedness to the insured for the class of insurance that insures against financial loss by reason of nonpayment of principal, interest, and other sums under any evidence of indebtedness secured by a mortgage, deed of trust, or other instrument constituting a first lien or charge on a residential building or a condominium unit or buildings designed for occupancy by not more than 4 families. Existing law, beginning January 1, 2018, also authorizes a mortgage guaranty insurer to extend its coverage for this class of insurance beyond the established limits if the excess is insured by a contract of reinsurance. This bill would delete the above provisions.
