PASSED LEGISLATION
BIC recently worked for the passage of the State foreclosure bill.

The legislation will protect renters from being evicted just because their landlord defaults on the home they’re renting. The bill also encourages banks to negotiate a loan modification by making banks wait five months – instead of 90 days – before foreclosing if a modification can’t be reached.
The bill extends the existing 90-day right-to-cure period another 60 days. But it doesn’t indicate whether homes already in the foreclosure process will be subject to the extension.

BIC also worked for the passage of the new CORI reform bill.  The CORI reform bill, passed on Aug 5, 2010, will now allow those looking for a fresh start a change at a better life.  Those with criminal records will now have a better chance of being seen as viable candidates for jobs, jobs that they need.  



He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
