The activities of mortgage brokers, mortgage lenders, and mortgage loan originators and the

origination, offering, servicing or modification of financing for residential real property have a

direct, valuable, and immediate impact upon Oklahoma's consumers, the Oklahoma economy, the

neighborhoods and communities of Oklahoma, and the housing and real estate industry.

Therefore, the Legislature finds that accessibility to mortgage credit is vital to the state's citizens.

The Legislature also finds that it is essential for the protection of the citizens of Oklahoma and the

stability of the Oklahoma economy that reasonable standards for licensing and regulation of the

business practices of mortgage brokers, mortgage lenders, and mortgage loan originators be

imposed. The Legislature further finds that the obligations of mortgage brokers, mortgage lenders,

and mortgage loan originators to consumers in connection with originating or making, modifying

or servicing residential mortgage loans are such as to warrant the regulation of the mortgage

lending and servicing process. The purpose of the Oklahoma Secure and Fair Enforcement for

Mortgage Licensing Act is to protect consumers seeking mortgage loans and to ensure that the

mortgage lending and servicing industry is operating without unfair, deceptive, and fraudulent

practices on the part of mortgage brokers, mortgage lenders, and mortgage loan originators.

Therefore, the Legislature establishes within the Oklahoma Secure and Fair Enforcement for

Participating states enacting the Compact subsequent

to the Commission convening shall be subject to the

state license or certification directly related to the application

as determined by the Oklahoma regulating entity;

7. If another jurisdiction has taken disciplinary action

against the person, the originating regulating entity or

jurisdiction is to determine if the cause for the action was

corrected and the matter resolved with the information made

accessible and reported to Oklahoma. If the matter has not been

resolved by that jurisdiction, the Oklahoma regulating entity will

hold an application until the matter is resolved but not longer than

one (1) year from the time of application at which time the Oklahoma

regulating entity will deny the application unless notified of

extraordinary circumstances warranting a one-time six-month

extension before the application is to be approved or denied;

8. Upon licensure or certification under this act, the licensee

or certificate holder shall report to the Oklahoma regulatory entity

any final determination on disciplinary actions, resignations

pending discipline, suspensions or revocations imposed by the

originating jurisdiction within thirty (30) days; and

disqualifying criminal history records for a certain license or

certification, the person shall demonstrate verifiable proof

pursuant to the laws of Oklahoma that there is no disqualifying

criminal history, pursuant to the criminal justice reform provisions

limiting criminal history prohibitions at Section 4000.1 of Title 59

of the Oklahoma Statutes, and as determined by the Oklahoma

regulating entity.

from entering into an interstate compact or state-to-state

reciprocity agreement or other equivalency agreement with another

state or jurisdiction to facilitate recognition, except that the

the Oklahoma regulatory entity and is not excluded from obtaining an

Oklahoma license or certification by any provision of this act, the

Oklahoma regulatory entity shall issue the appropriate license or

from applying for a statewide professional or occupational license

or certification under another statute or rule in Oklahoma.
