Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill creates an exception by prohibiting an agency that is contracting for services from contracting with a financial institution unless the financial institution certifies that it does not own 100 or more residential properties in this state from foreclosure actions on residential mortgages.
