A mediator does not have a duty to advise the homeowner, foreclosing entity, or subsequent lienholders, if any, about the law or to encourage or assist the homeowner, foreclosing entity, or subsequent lienholders, if any, in reserving or establishing legal rights. This subdivision is an addition to and not a limitation of immunity otherwise accorded to a mediator under any law.

(b) A mediator cannot be examined about a communication or document, including work notes, made or used in the course of or because of mediation under this chapter. This paragraph does not apply to the parties in the dispute in an application to a court by a party to have a mediated settlement agreement set aside or reformed. A communication or document otherwise not privileged does not become privileged because it is used in the cause of mediation. This paragraph is not intended to limit the privilege accorded to communication during mediation under any law.

Sec. 8. [584.06] HOMEOWNER'S RIGHT TO REQUEST LOSS MITIGATION FORMULA.

At any time after the notice of requested mediation is sent by the foreclosing entity, the homeowner has the right to request from the foreclosing entity the formula and information used in deciding whether the homeowner is eligible for a loan modification, loss mitigation, or other mortgage workout option to help the homeowner resolve the foreclosure.

A failure to agree to modify, reduce, restructure, refinance, or forgive debt is not, in itself, evidence of lack of good faith by the foreclosing entity.

Journal of the House - 70th Day - Thursday, March 13, 2014 - Top of Page 7029

Subd. 3. Affidavit of good faith in mediation. (a) If the mediator determines that the foreclosing entity participated in the mediation in good faith, the mediator shall promptly provide to all parties an affidavit attesting to this determination.

(b) If the mediator determines that the homeowner is not participating in the mediation in good faith, the mediator may cancel subsequent scheduled mediations and provide the foreclosing entity and any subsequent lienholder an affidavit of good faith to allow the foreclosing entity to proceed on the foreclosure.

Subd. 4. Lack of good faith. If the homeowner does not execute an opt-out form and the mediator does not provide the foreclosing entity an affidavit of good faith in mediation following a mediation, all actions taken and documents recorded as part of the foreclosure process are void, and the foreclosing entity shall be prohibited from taking any action to initiate a new foreclosure for one year from the date of mediation.

Sec. 10. [584.08] MEDIATION PROCESS.

Subdivision 1. Appearances. There will be one mediation session unless the mediator determines that a subsequent session is needed and may be helpful to a successful mediation. The mediator can schedule no more than one subsequent mediation. The Office of Administrative Hearings may allow the parties to appear through remote communication. The Office of Administrative Hearings may reschedule the time or location of the mediation if reasonably necessary for the participation of a party. A subsequent or rescheduled session may take place outside of the time period provided in section 584.03, subdivision 3.

Subd. 2. Documents required at mediation. The foreclosing entity shall bring to the mediation the following documents:

(1) a valid copy of the mortgage and note and each assignment or endorsement of the mortgage and note;

(2) an accurate statement containing the balance of the loan within seven days of the date of mediation;

(3) an accurate statement of any arrearage and an itemized statement of the arrearages;

(4) the payment history and schedule for the preceding 12 months, or since default, whichever is longer, including a breakdown of all fees and charges claimed and outstanding; and

(5) any appraisal or valuation estimate relied upon by the foreclosing entity in making a loan mitigation decision.

Subd. 3. Mediation agreement. The foreclosing entity, homeowner, and subsequent lienholders, if any, who are parties to an agreement reached in mediation are bound by the terms of the agreement, may enforce the mediation agreement as a legal contract, and may use the mediation agreement as a defense against an action contrary to the mediation agreement.

Sec. 11. [584.09] SUBSEQUENT LIENHOLDERS GOOD FAITH IN MEDIATION REQUIRED.

Subdivision 1. Requirement of good faith. A subsequent lienholder must participate in mediation in good faith. A subsequent lienholder does not participate in good faith if the subsequent lienholder:

(2) fails to designate a single point of contact with authority to make binding commitments to participate in the mediation;

(3) fails to provide a written explanation for not agreeing to a loss mitigation; or

(4) other similar behavior which evidences lack of good faith by a subsequent lienholder.

A failure to agree to modify, reduce, restructure, refinance, or forgive debt is not, in itself, evidence of lack of good faith by the subsequent lienholder.

"Section 1. Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 216B.241, is amended by adding a subdivision to read:

Subd. 5d. On-bill loan repayment programs. (a) For the purposes of this subdivision:

(1) "utility" means a public utility, municipal utility, or cooperative electric association that provides electric or natural gas service to retail customers; and

Journal of the House - 70th Day - Thursday, March 13, 2014 - Top of Page 7044

(2) "on-bill loan repayment program" means a program in which a utility collects on a customer's bill repayment of a loan to the customer by an eligible lender to finance the customer's investment in eligible energy conservation or renewable energy projects, and remits loan repayments to the lender.

(b) A utility may include as part of its conservation improvement plan an on-bill loan repayment program to enable a customer to finance eligible projects with installment loans originated by an eligible lender. An eligible project is one that is either an energy conservation improvement, or a project that uses an eligible renewable energy source as that term is defined in section 216B.2411, subdivision 2, paragraph (b), but does not include mixed municipal solid waste or refuse-derived fuel from mixed municipal solid waste. An eligible renewable energy source also includes solar thermal technology that collects the sun's radiant energy and transfers it to a storage medium for distribution as energy to heat or cool air or water, and meets the requirements of section 216C.25. To be an eligible lender, a lender must:

(1) have a federal or state charter and be eligible for federal deposit insurance; or

(2) be a government entity, including an entity established under chapter 469, that has authority to provide financial assistance for energy efficiency and renewable energy projects.

The commissioner must allow a utility broad discretion in designing and implementing an on-bill loan repayment program, provided that the program complies with this subdivision.

(d) A public utility that implements an on-bill repayment program under this subdivision must enter into a contract with one or more eligible lenders that complies with the requirements of this subdivision and contains provisions addressing capital commitments, loan origination, transfer of loans to the public utility for on-bill loan repayment, and acceptance of loans returned due to delinquency or default.

(e) A public utility's contract with a lender must require the lender to comply with all applicable federal and state laws, rules, and regulations related to lending practices and consumer protection, and to conform to reasonable and prudent lending standards.

(f) A public utility's contract with a lender may provide:

(1) for the public utility to purchase loans from the lender with a condition that the lender must purchase back loans in delinquency or default; or

(2) for the lender to retain ownership of loans with the public utility servicing the loans through on-bill repayment as long as payments are current.

The risk of default must remain with the lender. The lender shall not have recourse against the public utility except in the event of negligence or breach of contract by the utility.

(g) If a public utility customer makes a partial payment on a utility bill that includes a loan installment, the partial payment must be credited first to the amount owed for utility service, including taxes and fees. A public utility may not suspend or terminate a customer's utility service for delinquency or default on a loan that is being serviced through the public utility's on-bill loan repayment program.

(h) An outstanding balance on a loan being repaid under this subdivision is a financial obligation only of the customer who is signatory to the loan, and not to any subsequent customer occupying the property associated with the loan. If the utility purchases loans from the lender as authorized under paragraph (f), clause (1), the utility must return to the lender a loan not repaid when a customer borrower no longer occupies the property.

Journal of the House - 70th Day - Thursday, March 13, 2014 - Top of Page 7045

(i) Costs incurred by a public utility under this subdivision are recoverable as provided in section 216B.16, subdivision 6b, paragraph (c), including reasonable incremental costs for billing system modifications necessary to implement and operate an on-bill loan repayment program and for ongoing costs to operate the program. Approved costs may be counted toward a utility's conservation spending requirements under subdivisions 1a and 1b. Energy savings from energy conservation improvements resulting from this section may be counted toward satisfying a utility's energy-savings goals under subdivision 1c.

(j) This subdivision does not require a utility to terminate or modify an existing financing program and does not prohibit a utility from establishing an on-bill financing program in which the utility provides the financing capital.

(k) A municipal utility or cooperative electric association that implements an on-bill loan repayment program shall design the program to address the issues identified in paragraphs (d) to (h) as determined by the governing board of the utility or association.

Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 216B.2422, is amended by adding a subdivision to read:

Subd. 2c. Long-range emission reduction planning. Each utility required to file a resource plan under this section shall include in the filing a narrative identifying and describing the costs, opportunities, and technical barriers to the utility continuing to make progress on its system toward achieving the state greenhouse gas emission reduction goals established in section 216H.02, subdivision 1, and the technologies, alternatives, and steps the utility is considering to address those opportunities and barriers."
