This begins the rulemaking process which is designed to strengthen and clarify the prohibition against “required use” for affiliated business providers. HUD seems to be particularly focused on homebuilders with AfBA title companies and/or mortgage companies. To read the ANPR, click here. If you would like to submit a comment, the cut-off date is September 1, 2010.
