Good morning,

I would like to register my support for HB 5152 and HB 5153 and submit this testimony in favor of their
passage.

These bills would signiﬁcantly improve the mortgage foreclosure process for individuals and families
facing the loss of their home. As a County Treasurer, I have witnessed ﬁrsthand the devastating impact
that foreclosure can have on property owners. Losing a home is often one of the most di icult
experiences a person can endure, and the process can be overwhelming and confusing.

Property owners deserve complete transparency throughout the foreclosure process and should be
clearly informed of their rights, available resources, and any options that may help them avoid or mitigate
the loss of their home. Improving notice requirements and ensuring that homeowners have access to
critical information will help create a more fair and understandable process.

I believe HB 5152 and HB 5153 are important steps toward providing greater transparency and
protections for Michigan property owners, and I respectfully urge your support for these bills.

Regards,
Shelly Weich
