SUMMARY
Public Law 2003, Chapter 263, § 1, effective September 13, 2003, amended Title 9-A M.R.S.A. §2 - 509. The amendment authorizes supervised financial organizations to assess a consumer a reasonable charge related to the prepayment of a consumer loan secured by an interest in land. That charge must be reasonably calculated to offset only the cost of origination of the loan. Title 9-A M.R.S.A. §2 - 509 as amended requires the Superintendent to adopt rules to implement its provisions. Rules adopted pursuant to § 2-509 are routine technical rules as defined in Title 5, chapter 375, sub-chapter 2-A.
