Here are a few recent, notable developments related to U.S. mortgage law/compliance that have been covered in legal/regulatory updates:
CFPB action on the “1071 Rule” (small-business lending data): A recent mortgage-industry legal update reports that the CFPB adopted a final rule extending compliance dates for the 1071 Rule, and discusses related litigation and the CFPB’s stated plans to issue further rulemaking.[1]
Rulemaking/foreclosure-related state legislation (California): A legal analysis notes that California passed new mortgage-borrower protections, including foreclosure notification and sale requirements for mortgage lenders, effective January 1, 2025.[3]
Broader mortgage regulatory tracking (industry news sources): Mortgage-focused news outlets are actively publishing updates (e.g., Mortgage News Daily), which often cover changes to servicing/foreclosure practice, regulatory guidance, and enforcement trends.[6]
When you say “mortgage law,” do you mean:
1) U.S. federal rules (CFPB/Regulation Z/RESPA/TILA),
2) foreclosure & servicing rules, or
3) a specific state (you’re in Texas—should I focus on Texas mortgage/foreclosure developments)?
Reply with (1/2/3) and (if relevant) the state, and I’ll tailor the “latest news” list to that scope.
