That Section 28-46-302, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby 10 amended to read as follows: 11 28-46-302. LICENSE TO MAKE REGULATED CONSUMER LOANS. (1) Upon receipt by 12 the administrator of an application with the required fee to be fixed by the 13 administrator, but not to exceed one hundred dollars ($100), the applicant 14 shall notify all existing licensees in the community of the application by 15 publishing notice once a week for three (3) consecutive weeks in a newspaper 16 of general circulation in the community. Such licensees may file with the 17 administrator any objections to the issuance of a license within thirty (30) 18 days after the date of the last publication of such notice. 19 (2) No application for license shall be denied if the administrator finds 20 that: 21 (a) The financial responsibility, character, and fitness of the appli- 22 cant, and of the officers and directors thereof (if the applicant is a 23 corporation) are such as to warrant belief that the business will be oper- 24 ated honestly and fairly within the purposes of this act; and 25 (b) The applicant has at least thirty thousand dollars ($30,000) avail- 26 able for the purpose of making loans. 27 (3) The administrator is empowered to conduct investigations as he may 28 deem necessary, to enable him to determine the existence of the requirements 29 set out in subsections (2)(a) and (2)(b) of this section. 30 (4) The director may issue a license under this act to a mortgage 31 lender licensed under chapter 31, title 26, Idaho Code, and who is engaged in 32 the business described in subsection (1) or (2) of section 28-46-301, Idaho 33 Code. All provisions of this act, except subsections (1), (2) and (3) of this 34 section, and subsection (5) of section 28-46-305, Idaho Code, shall apply to 35 persons seeking a license pursuant to this subsection. 36 (5) Upon written request, the applicant is entitled to a hearing 37 on the question of his qualifications for a license if: 38 (a) The administrator has notified the applicant in writing that his 39 application has been denied, or objections filed; or 40 (b) The administrator has not issued a license within sixty (60) days 41 after the application for the license was filed. 42 If a hearing is held, the applicant and those filing objections shall 43 reimburse, pro rata, the administrator for his reasonable and necessary 2 1 expenses incurred as a result of the hearing. A request for a hearing may not 2 be made more than fifteen (15) days after the administrator has mailed a writ- 3 ing to the applicant notifying him that the application has been denied and 4 stating in substance the administrator's finding supporting denial of the 5 application or that objections have been filed and the substance thereof. 6 (56 ) The administrator may issue additional 7 licenses to the same licensee upon compliance with all the provisions of this 8 act governing the issuance of a single license. A separate license shall be 9 required for each place of business. Each license shall remain in full force 10 and effect until surrendered, suspended or revoked. 11 (67 ) No licensee shall change the location of 12 any place of business, or consolidate, or close any locations, without giving 13 the administrator at least fifteen (15) days' prior written notice. No licen- 14 see shall change the location of any of his places of business to a location 15 more than five (5) miles from the original location or outside the original 16 municipality, if any. 17 (78 ) A licensee shall not engage in the busi- 18 ness of making regulated consumer loans at any place of business for which he 19 does not hold a license nor shall he engage in business under any other name 20 than that in the license.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS07746
This legislation eliminates the requirement that a mortgage
lender that makes second or other subordinated mortgage loans
apply for a license under the Idaho Credit Code if it has
obtained a license under the Residential Mortgage Practices Act.
Mortgage lenders will continue to be subject to the substantive
provisions of both laws, but will only apply for the Residential
mortgage Practices Act license and pay only the fee associated
with that license.
FISCAL IMPACT
This bill will reduce the number of companies applying for two
licenses from the Department, but it is not a large number of
companies and we believe the fiscal al impact will be minor.
