Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

5 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 2 costs, 3 mixed.

Financial firms must secure data, report breaches

Beginning January 1, 2026, many Nevada‑licensed financial and mortgage businesses must follow the federal Safeguards Rule (16 C.F.R. Part 314). They must keep a written information‑security program in their books and records. They must notify the state Commissioner when a covered “notification event” happens. This applies to escrow agents, mortgage companies and originators, mortgage servicers, foreclosure service providers, banks and other licensees under Chapters 604A, 604C, 604D, 669, 670B, 671 (including authorized delegates), 675 and 676A. The Commissioner will set the steps and timing for incident reporting for escrow firms, mortgage firms and servicers, and banks.

Big mortgage servicers face new oversight

Beginning January 1, 2026, a “covered” servicer is one that services 2,000 or more residential loans and operates in two or more states. Covered servicers must keep a board or similar governing body, adopt a written governance plan, and run internal audits. They must run a board‑overseen risk program and get an annual independent CPA audit with GAAP financials, control reviews, MSR checks, and insurance verification. They must also hold enough liquid, high‑quality assets for operations, or meet FHFA seller/servicer standards. The Commissioner can add conditions, waive, or temporarily suspend requirements based on risk or severe events; these rules can apply to agencies that service when federal law allows.

Servicer licensing and borrower rules

Beginning January 1, 2026, the Commissioner sets licensing and supervision rules for mortgage servicers, including applications, fees, and fines. Licensed servicers must follow federal servicing rules in Regulation X and Regulation Z. The Commissioner can examine servicers and take action if they break the rules.

When these new rules start

Regulators can start writing rules and doing prep work right after the law is signed. All other duties start on January 1, 2026. One section (Section 48) also takes effect upon passage.

Who is exempt from servicer and foreclosure rules

Starting January 1, 2026, some groups are exempt from Nevada’s servicer governance and licensing sections. Exemptions include banks and affiliates, certain REITs, plan trustees, governments, 501(c)(3) nonprofits, attorneys acting incidentally, court‑ordered actors, and servicers that handle 10 or fewer Nevada loans a year (with affiliates counted). The foreclosure‑consultant and purchaser rules also do not apply to listed groups such as attorneys, registered debt‑management providers, government agents, some creditors, and other specified licensed professionals.
