FORECLOSURE-AUTH PERSON-SALE

Amends the Mortgage Foreclosure Article of the Code of Civil Procedure. Provides that special matters in the judgment may include the person who shall be the officer to conduct the sale (rather than an official or other person who shall be the officer to conduct the sale other than the one customarily designated by the court). Provides that unless a person is appointed pursuant to a motion, the person conducting the sale shall be any person previously appointed by any circuit court to conduct a foreclosure sale prior to the effective date of the amendatory Act, any judge, or the sheriff of the county in which the real estate is located (instead of a sale may be conducted by any judge or sheriff). Provides that a copy of the notice of foreclosure of residential real estate shall be sent to the municipality or county in which the property is located by first class mail (instead of sent pursuant to the Code of Civil Procedure). Provides that the mortgagee, judgment creditor, or other lien holder shall furnish the confirmation order to the last-known insurer of a residential building in writing by first-class mail. Provides that the failure to send or receive a copy of the order does not affect the rights of the mortgagee or purchaser or affect the foreclosure proceedings. Makes other changes. Provides that certain provisions take effect upon becoming law.
