Description of Contents

Nebraska State Law.  This course discusses Nebraska’s Residential Mortgage Licensing Act (RMLA) and satisfies the 2 hours of state-specific required education for Nebraska Mortgage Loan Originators.  The RMLA regulates mortgage lending to ensure fair practices by brokers and MLOs. We will introduce the RMLA, first by looking at exemptions and licensing requirements.  We will also discuss disciplinary actions,duties and prohibited acts.

Federal Law – RESPA and SAFE.  This course covers two industry laws key to the conduct of all mortgage loan originators:

• SAFE Act – Secure and Fair Enforcement Act for Mortgage Licensing (enacted in 2008).  This act is a key component of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (Title V). The SAFE Act sets forth requirements for the licensing and registration of all mortgage loan originators and mandates the creation of a National Mortgage Licensing System and Registry (NMLSR).
