AI Summary
This bill, the Coronavirus Disease 2019 Mortgage Relief Act, enacts several provisions to provide relief to borrowers during the COVID-19 public health emergency. It imposes a moratorium on all foreclosure proceedings for the duration of the emergency, plus an additional 120 days after a borrower's final mortgage forbearance period. It requires lenders to disclose loss mitigation options to borrowers with both federally-backed and non-federally-backed mortgage loans, and prohibits lenders from foreclosing unless they have complied with the required disclosures and considered the borrower for available loss mitigation options. The bill also provides borrowers with legal recourse, including the ability to use noncompliance as a defense in foreclosure actions and recover damages, if lenders fail to comply with the Act's provisions.
