AN ACT to amend the banking law, in relation to prohibiting compensation
  based on the terms of a home loan by  mortgage  brokers  and  mortgage

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Section 590-b of the banking law is amended by adding a new
subdivision 3-a to read as follows:
  3-A. IN CONNECTION WITH THE MAKING OR BROKERING OF  A  HOME  LOAN,  NO
PERSON  MAY  PROVIDE,  AND  NO  MORTGAGE  BROKER  OR MORTGAGE LENDER MAY
RECEIVE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY COMPENSATION THAT IS BASED  ON,  OR
VARIES  WITH,  THE  TERMS  OF  ANY HOME LOAN. THIS SUBDIVISION SHALL NOT

  S 2. Paragraph (s) of subdivision 2 of section 6-l of the banking law,
as amended by chapter 507 of the laws of 2009, is  amended  to  read  as
follows:

loan,  the  mortgage broker shall, within three days after receipt of an
application, disclose the exact amount and methodology of total  compen-

compensation from the lender, direct compensation from the borrower,  or

of  this  paragraph  shall  not  restrict  the  ability of a borrower to
utilize a yield spread premium in order to offset any up front costs  by
accepting  a higher interest rate if permitted by applicable law. If the
borrower chooses this option, any  compensation  from  the  lender  that
exceeds  the  amount  of  total  compensation owed to the broker must be
credited to the borrower. The superintendent shall  prescribe  the  form
that  such  disclosure  shall  take. This provision shall not restrict a
