IN RE: | SB1578 by Carona (relating to a prelicense test requirement for mortgage broker applicants. ), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted |
The bill would require applicants for a new mortgage broker license to pass a pre-licensing test offered by a testing company approved by the Finance Commission to demonstrate knowledge of the mortgage industry. The bill does not require the testing for renewal of a license.
The Savings and Loan Department indicates that the cost of the pre-licensing test would be paid directly to the testing administrator by the applicant.
