An Act expanding the use of video and telephone conferencing

This bill expands the options available for conducting certain mortgage transactions by allowing them to be completed via video or telephone calls. It directly affects lenders, borrowers, and other parties involved in mortgage processes within Massachusetts. The key mechanism involves amending two specific sections of state law to explicitly include synchronous real-time video conferencing and telephone calls as valid methods for completing these interactions. By updating these legal definitions, the legislation formalizes remote communication as an acceptable alternative to in-person meetings for these financial services.
