effective date of this amendatory Act of the 94th General
Assembly.
    "Title insurance company" means any domestic company
organized under the laws of this State for the purpose of
conducting the business of guaranteeing or insuring titles to
real estate and any title insurance company organized under the

guaranteeing or insuring titles to real estate in this State.
    (b) A predatory lending database pilot program is
established within the pilot program area. The pilot program
shall continue for 4 years after its creation and shall be
administered in accordance with Article 3 of this Act. The
database created under this program shall be maintained and
administered by the Department. The database shall be designed
to allow brokers, originators, credit counselors, title
insurance companies, and closing agents to submit information
to the database online. The database shall not be designed to
allow those entities to retrieve information from the database,
except as otherwise provided in this Article. Information
submitted by the broker or originator to the Department may be
used to populate the online form submitted by a credit
counselor, title insurance company, or closing agent.
    (c) Within 10 days after taking a mortgage application, the
broker or originator for any mortgage on residential property
within the pilot program area must submit to the predatory
lending database all of the information required under Section
72 and any other information required by the Department by
rule. Within 7 days after receipt of the information, the
Department shall compare that information to credit counseling
standards developed by the Department by rule and issue to the
borrower and the broker or originator a determination of
whether credit counseling is recommended for the borrower. The
borrower may not waive credit counseling. If at any time after

shall engage in an interview with a counselor associated with
that agency. Within 7 days after interviewing the borrower, the
credit counselor must submit to the predatory lending database
all of the information required under Section 74 and any other
information required by the Department by rule. Any costs
associated with credit counseling provided under the pilot
program shall be paid by the broker or originator.
    (e) The broker or originator and the borrower may not take
any legally binding action concerning the loan transaction
until the later of the following:
        (1) the Department issues a determination not to
    recommend credit counseling for the borrower in accordance
    with subsection (c); or

    counseling is recommended for the borrower and the credit
    counselor submits all required information to the database
    in accordance with subsection (d).
    (f) Within 10 days after closing, the title insurance
company or closing agent must submit to the predatory lending
database all of the information required under Section 76 and
any other information required by the Department by rule.

company or closing agent must simultaneously file with the
recorder a certificate of its compliance with the requirements
of this Article, as generated by the database. If the title
insurance company or closing agent fails to file the
certificate of compliance, then the mortgage is not recordable.
In addition, if any lis pendens for a residential mortgage
foreclosure is recorded on the property within the pilot
program area, a certificate of service must be simultaneously
recorded that affirms that a copy of the lis pendens was filed
with the Department. If the certificate of service is not
recorded, then the lis pendens pertaining to the residential
mortgage foreclosure in question is not recordable and is of no
force and effect.
    (h) All information provided to the predatory lending
database under the program is confidential and is not subject
to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, except as
otherwise provided in this Article. Any borrower may authorize
in writing the release of database information. The Department
may use the information in the database without the consent of
the borrower: (i) for the purposes of administering and
enforcing the pilot program; (ii) to provide relevant
information to a credit counselor providing credit counseling
to a borrower under the pilot program; or (iii) to the
appropriate law enforcement agency or the applicable
administrative agency if the database information demonstrates
criminal, fraudulent, or otherwise illegal activity.
    (i) Nothing in this Article is intended to prevent a
borrower from making his or her own decision as to whether to
proceed with a transaction.
    (j) Any person who violates any provision of this Article
commits an unlawful practice within the meaning of the Consumer
Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act.
    (k) Not later than one year after the Department designates
the pilot program area and annually thereafter during the
