67.1645. Program to protect against local adverse conditions only, how determined — suspension of program, when. —
A program created pursuant to sections 67.1600 to 67.1663 provides a guarantee only against specifically local adverse housing market conditions within the area of the program as they may differ from regional or national housing conditions. A program shall not provide relief from adverse regional or national housing market conditions as they may affect local housing conditions. A program shall not guarantee against a decline in the value of housing due to economic forces such as a national or regional recession or depression. In the event of a regional decline in the value of housing in the regional or national housing markets, the governing commission may temporarily suspend coverage pursuant to the program in order to protect the fiscal integrity of the guarantee fund. For the purposes of this section, a regional decline in the value of housing is defined as a five percent annual decline in the median value of existing houses in any twelve-month period for the nation, Midwest region, or state of Missouri, according to statistics published by the National Association of Realtors.
