Bill — H.R. 6835, Mortgage Performance Data (House, May 12, 2020)

Summary

H. R. 6835 was introduced in the House of Representatives on May 12, 2020 by Ms. Porter and referred to the Committee on Financial Services. The bill is titled as one to require residential mortgage servicers receiving certain emergency relief under the CARES Act to provide reports on loan-level data. Section 1 amends section 4003(c) of the CARES Act to add a mortgage performance data requirement. A servicer of a residential mortgage loan that receives a loan, loan guarantee, or other investment would collect and provide loan-level data to the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection on a monthly basis. Each monthly report would contain identifying information and loan performance data.
