A BILL to amend and reenact §46A-6K-3 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, relating to allowing accrual of interest during rescission period on a loan where right of rescission applies, if the loan is not rescinded; and providing exclusion to the charging and payment of interest.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That §46A-6K-3 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, be amended and reenacted to read as follows:
ARTICLE 6K. GOOD FUNDS SETTLEMENT ACT.
§46A-6K-3. Duty of lender; accrual of interest.
The lender shall, at or
before loan closing, cause disbursement of loan funds to the settlement agent;
however, in the case of a refinancing, or any other loan where a right of
rescission applies, the lender shall, within one business day after the
expiration of the rescission period required under the federal Truth-in-Lending
Act (15 U. S. C. §1601 et seq.), cause disbursement of loan funds to the
settlement agent, unless the loan is rescinded by the customer. All funds
disbursed by the lender to the settlement agent must be collected funds. The
lender is not entitled to receive or charge any interest on the loan until
disbursement of loan funds and loan closing has occurred. The lender may charge and receive interest on the loan
during the rescission period required under the federal Truth-in-Lending Act
(15 U. S. C. §1601 et seq.): Provided, That the lender may not
receive any interest if the loan is rescinded by the customer: Provided,
however, That the lender may not charge or receive interest on the loan
during the rescission period, if the loan is for the purpose of paying a prior
loan made by the same lender in full.
