H.R. 3206

House

Pueblo of San Ildefonso Land Claims Settlement Act

Sponsor: Rep. Leger Fernandez, Teresa [D-NM-3]

Passed the House

The House of Representatives has passed this bill. It now moves to the Senate.

In brief

This bill requires Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to establish specific risk management standards for the use of title insurance and related products when facilitating home mortgages. These standards must prioritize third-party products that are subject to state-level regulations to protect against property liens or title defects. If the enterprises purchase a mortgage that fails to meet these new guidelines, they must hold an additional 1% of the unpaid principal as part of their minimum capital requirements. Introduced by Representative Andrew Garbarino (R-NY), the legislation is currently awaiting consideration in the House Committee on Financial Services.
