Scott Borison Testified in Support of Historic Changes to Maryland Foreclosure Laws
In the 2007-2008 legislative session before the Maryland General
Assembly, Scott Borison testified in favor of three laws that were
passed by the legislature and enacted as emergency legislation.
The first law relating to the foreclosure process is the first changes
in the law in over 200 years to provide additional protections to
homeowners. The law now mandates personal service on the homeowner of
notice of foreclosure.
The second law updated the Protection of Homeowners in Foreclosure Act.
This law was first enacted in 2005. Scott Borison testified in 2005 and
again testified in support of the amendments to the law to eliminate
loopholes in the law.
The third law enacted a law specifically directed at mortgage fraud.
