What this bill would do
This bill, titled the "Protecting America's Property Rights Act," aims to add requirements for how the Enterprises handle conventional mortgages. It focuses on managing risks related to property liens, encumbrances, or title defects. The bill requires the Enterprises to manage these risks by using third-party products regulated by a State insurance authority or a State regulator. Additionally, it mandates that the Enterprises hold extra capital if they do not meet these specific requirements. The Director is tasked with issuing necessary regulations and guidance within 180 days of the act's enactment.
