2014 House Bill 5277 / Public Act 125

Revise foreclosure restrictions

Introduced in the House

Feb. 4, 2014

Introduced by Rep. Mike Callton (R-87)

To revise details of a <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2013-HB-383">2013 law</a> that made changes to the right of a mortgage foreclosure auction property buyer to monitor the property during the post-auction redemption period (during which a delinquent borrower can pay the loan in full to redeem the property).
