ANALYSIS
C.S.H.B. 3342 amends the Finance Code to change the period during which an individual fails to maintain a residential mortgage loan originator license that triggers the requirement that the individual retake the prelicensing education requirements prescribed by the S.A.F.E. Mortgage Licensing Act from at least five consecutive years to the period established by rule of the Finance Commission of Texas. The bill requires the finance commission to adopt such rule not later than December 1, 2017. The bill applies only to an application for a license filed on or after December 1, 2017.
