                                 H.R. 1529
            Community Institution Mortgage Relief Act of 2015

 As ordered reported by the House Committee on Financial Services on March 26, 2015


 Under current law, mortgage lenders must establish escrow accounts for the payment of
 property taxes and certain insurance premiums related to the property securing the
 mortgage. H.R. 1529 would amend the Truth in Lending Act to exempt a lender from the
requirement to hold those escrow funds if the lender has consolidated assets of $10 billion
or less or if it holds the mortgage on its balance sheet for 3 years after the date of
origination. H.R. 1529 also would direct the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection
(CFPB) to exempt mortgage servicers from certain requirements related to, among other
things, administering escrow accounts if they service 20,000 or fewer mortgage loans
annually.

Based on information from the CFPB, CBO estimates that enacting this bill would increase
direct spending by less than $500,000 for expenses of the CFPB to prepare and enforce
new rules to implement the legislation. Because enacting H.R. 1.529 would affect direct
spending, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 1529 would
not affect revenues. Implementing the bill would not affect spending subject to
appropriation because the CFPB is permanently authorized to spend amounts transferred
from the Federal Reserve System.

H.R. 1529 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal
governments.

The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Susan Willie. The estimate was approved by
Theresa Gullo, Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
