The Office of Administrative Hearings shall within ten business days of receiving a request for mediation assign a mediator which may be a judge, an attorney, or other staff trained in mediation. The Office of Administrative Hearings must provide the following information to the borrower, the servicer, and any subordinate mortgage lienholder within 20 days of receipt of the request:
Journal of the House - 15th Day - Monday, February 18, 2013 - Top of Page 340
(1) what documents must be provided prior to mediation to the Office of Administrative Hearings;
(2) when the mediation will take place;
(3) where the mediation will take place;
(4) who may attend the mediation; and
(5) any rights and responsibilities of the parties to the mediation.
(b) The Office of Administrative Hearings is immune from civil liability for actions within the scope of its position under this chapter. The mediators assigned do not have a duty to advise the parties of their legal rights. Nothing in this chapter is a limitation to the immunity that otherwise extends to the Office of Administrative Hearings that otherwise exists under the law.
(c) The mediation must occur no later than 45 days after receiving contact from the servicer requesting the mediation with the Office of Administrative Hearings.
(d) The data regarding the finances and mortgages for these mediations that is created, collected, and maintained by the Office of Administrative Hearings is private data on individuals as defined by section 13.02, subdivision 12.

(2) failure to provide full information regarding the financial obligations of the parties and other creditors;
(3) failure of the creditor to designate a representative to participate in the mediation with authority to make binding commitments;
(4) lack of a written statement of debt restructuring alternatives and a statement of reasons why alternatives are unacceptable to one of the parties; and
(5) other similar behavior that evidences lack of good faith by a party.
A failure to agree to reduce, restructure, refinance, or forgive debt is not, in itself, evidence of lack of good faith by the creditor.
Journal of the House - 15th Day - Monday, February 18, 2013 - Top of Page 341
(b) If the mediator determines that either party is not participating in good faith as defined in subdivision 1, the mediator must file an affidavit indicating the reasons for the finding with the attorney general and with parties to the mediation.
Subd. 7. Creditor's bad faith; court supervision. If the mediator finds the creditor has not participated in mediation in good faith, the debtor may require court-supervised mandatory mediation by filing the affidavit with the district court of the county of the debtor's residence with a request for court supervision of mediation and serving a copy of the request on the creditor. Upon request, the court shall require both parties to mediate under the supervision of the court in good faith for a period of not more than 180 days. All mortgage foreclosure proceedings must be suspended during this period. The court may issue orders necessary to effect good faith mediation. Following the mediation period, if the court finds the creditor has not participated in mediation in good faith, the court shall by order suspend the creditor's mortgage foreclosure proceeding for an additional period of 180 days. A creditor found by the mediator not to have participated in good faith shall pay the attorney fees and costs of the debtor requesting court supervision, in addition to further suspension of the creditor's mortgage foreclosure proceeding.
Subd. 8. Debtor's lack of good faith. A creditor may immediately proceed with the creditor's mortgage foreclosure proceedings upon receipt of a mediator's affidavit of a debtor's lack of good faith.
EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective August 1, 2013, and applies to foreclosures commenced on or after that date."
