As of September 29, 2020, the Department of Business Oversight (DBO) is called the Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI).
There are three important pieces of California legislation that those who are licensed with the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI) must be familiar with. The DBO requires licensees who are renewing their DFPI licenses to review the California Financing Law (CFL), the California Residential Mortgage Lending Act (CRMLA), and the California Homeowner Bill of Rights (HBOR).
This NMLS course will cover each of the three legislations, starting with the California Financing Law. This module of the course will review the licensing requirements for a finance lender, the expected conduct of those who hold these licenses, the limitations on interest rates, and the investigative powers of the Commissioner of the DFPI.
The second module will review the California Residential Mortgage Lending Act. This module will outline the conduct required to maintain a license, the surety bonding and net worth requirements, prohibited fees and owner actions, and how the Commissioner can cite licensees who don't follow the law.
The third module will highlight the California Homeowner Bill of Rights, a law passed in 2013 to give some protection to homeowners who are facing foreclosure of their residential property. This law outlines seven provisions covering dual tracking, robo-signing, single points of contact, and more.
This California NMLS course is broken down into several learning topics. At the end of the course a 15-question final exam will be given. The topics included in this course are:

This course will instruct mortgage loan originators on a number of regulations that they will have to comply with while taking part in their mortgage loan origination activities. Rules, such as those implemented by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, are set in place to protect the interest and well-being of consumers who apply for mortgages to purchase or refinance their properties. To ensure that their business practices satisfy the regulations adopted by federal laws, mortgage loan originators need to keep current on the guidelines published by entities such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).
This course consists of three sections and a final exam
Total study time: 7 credit hours (5 hours, 30 minutes)
Study Time: 3 clock hours (150 minutes of federal law)
Each year, the NMLS receives feedback from various agencies on problems and errors occurring in the mortgage industry. This feedback is then incorporated into your annual continuing education requirements as mandated by the NMLS. This module will cover a variety of conduct issues related to federal laws that are among the most frequently cited by examiners as industry problems.
We'll start this module covering the adverse action notice requirements of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, 12 CFR 1002. Examiners are discovering that applicants are not receiving proper notification of adverse actions taken based on the information on their loan applications.
Next, we'll review several provisions of the the Truth in Lending Act. Specifically, we'll cover 12 CFR 1026.19 regarding proper disclosure of fees on the Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure; 12 CFR 1026.25 regarding record keeping requirements; 12 CFR 1026.36 regarding the delivery of the special information booklet and NMLS ID disclosure requirements; and 12 CFR 1026.38 regarding proper disclosure of settlement costs.
Lastly, we'll review several miscellaneous NMLS topics: adverse action notices under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 USC 1681(m)), the Department of Veterans Affairs VA Circular 26-14-10, consumer consent to receiving digital records under the ESIGN Act (15 USC 7001), and the reporting requirements under the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (12 CFR 1003).
Study Time: 2 clock hours (100 minutes of ethics, fraud, and consumer protection)
This module is written with a focus on consumer protection. Most, if not all of the regulations of the mortgage and banking industry are implemented to protect the consumer. In this module you'll be provided with a better understanding of laws that protect consumers from untruthful mortgage advertising. Understanding what you can and cannot do in regard to advertising loan products is vital when dealing with the public and promoting your services. As an advocate for your customer it is up to you to be diligent in your understanding of the laws and regulations affecting our industry, how they affect you in your business, and how to adhere to them for compliance and consumer protection.
Study Time: 2 clock hours (100 minutes of non-traditional mortgage)
Besides a traditional conventional loan product, there are other options available when it comes to rehabilitating a home for purchase and refinance that may more perfectly fit the rehab loan needs of the borrower. This module will explain several non-traditional mortgage products, exploring other options available to borrowers such as the Federal Housing Administration's 203(k) property rehabilitation loan, four types of energy efficient mortgage products, and the Fannie Mae HomeReady® rehab loan product.
