	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 919, as amended, Nava. Mortgages: information and recordation.
   Upon a breach of the obligation of a mortgage or transfer of an
interest in property, in order to exercise a power of sale, existing
law requires the trustee, mortgagee, or beneficiary to record in the
office of the county recorder in the county where the mortgaged or
trust property is situated, a notice of default. Existing law
provides a form for a mortgage of real property. Existing law
requires a county recorder, upon proper payment, to accept any
instrument authorized by statute to be recorded, provided that it
meets specified requirements. Existing law requires certain documents
relating to real property that are to be recorded to contain
specified information.
   This bill would require a mortgage or deed of trust that is
secured by residential real property, as defined, to have an attached
 rider   Residential Mortgage Participant Rider
form, as set forth, that identifies by name any appraiser,
lender, loan originator, and real estate broker, as defined, who were
involved in the origination of the mortgage or deed of trust and his
or her professional license number, if any. The bill would 
void a mortgage or deed of trust secured by residential real property
that fails to include this rider   prohibit the county
recorder from acc   epting a mortgage or deed of trust for
recordation if a Residential Mortgage Participant Rider form is not
included. By creating a duty for a county recorder to examine a
mortgage or deed of trust to establish if a completed rider has been
included, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program 
. 
   The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.  
   This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates
determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state,
reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these
statutory provisions. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee:  no
  yes  . State-mandated local program:  no
  yes  .
