Mortgages - 2009
- Foreclosure Moratorium – 2009
In response to the climbing foreclosure rate of the time, Rep Ferrendino attempted to pass a well intentioned but highly flawed foreclosure moratorium bill at the close of the 2008 state legislative session. With no prior knowledge of the bill, no input given, and too short of a timeframe to salvage anything meaningful, CBA helped defeat the bill in Committee.
Direct Lending - 2009
- Government Direct Lending (State)
Three bills were being considered in the Legislature that would allow the government to become a direct lender to different parties and for different purposes. CBA opposed to all three.
