CHAPTER 44. ADMINISTRATION OF ESTATES AND TRUSTS.

ARTICLE 13. POWERS AND DUTIES OF CLERKS OF COUNTY COURTS IN COUNTIES HAVING SEPARATE TRIBUNAL FOR POLICE AND FISCAL PURPOSES.
§44-13-4a. Reporting of foreclosure statistics.
(a) Beginning with the third quarter of 2009 2010, the clerk of each county commission shall file quarterly with the Division of Banking the disclosure forms of deed of trust foreclosure sales a list of the number of reports of foreclosure sales that were recorded pursuant to section eight-a, article one, chapter thirty- eight of this code in that county for the preceding calendar year quarter. The reports shall be filed within fifteen days of the last day of September, December, March and June of each year. The reports shall be filed in electronic format, where possible.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this code, nothing in this section shall be deemed to create a responsibility on the Division of Banking to provide any report other than the complied raw data submitted from each county clerk or to verify the accuracy of the data submitted.



NOTE: The purpose of this bill is to streamline the reporting of information regarding residential mortgage foreclosures so that the information is reported directly from the trustees, who are the source of the information, to the Division of Banking and to require that the county clerks report only a list reflecting the number of residential mortgage foreclosure sales that were filed in a given period.

Strike-throughs indicate language that would be stricken from the present law, and underscoring indicates new language that would be added.
