Plain-English summary
Portfolio Lending and Mortgage Access Act
(Sec. 2) This bill amends the Truth in Lending Act to create a safe harbor from lawsuit for creditors that are depository institutions for any failure to comply with certain requirements with respect to a residential mortgage loan, and the banking regulators are required to treat such a loan as a qualified mortgage, if the creditor has, since the loan's origination, held it on its balance sheet and all prepayment penalties with respect to the loan comply with specified limitations.
A safe harbor from lawsuit is also created for mortgage originators for steering a consumer to a residential mortgage loan if:
- the creditor is a depository institution and has informed the mortgage originator that it intends to hold the loan on its balance sheet for the life of the loan, and
- the mortgage originator informs the consumer that the creditor intends to do so.
