Section I Analysis, brief description, and cost and benefit quantification ofthe proposed rule(s) and regulation(s). If the approach chosen by the Kansas agency to address the policy issue is different from that utilized by agencies of contiguous states or ofthe federal government, the economic impact statement shall include an explanation ofwhy the Kansas agency's rule and regulation differs. z K.A.R. 17-24-7 discusses additional charges that may be charged to a consumer in a covered m01tgage transaction. The proposed amendment supplements K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 9-2229 of the Kansas M01tgage Business Act (!<MBA) by requiring that certain conditions be met in order for the charges to be deemed allowable. This regulation isn't technically new. Covered mortgages were regulated under the Uniform Consumer Credit Code as one type of "consumer credit transaction" until these m01tgages moved to the Kansas Mortgage Business Act per 2024 Sen. Sub for HS 2247. The regulation that applied to these mo1tgages was K.A.R. 75-6-9. Colorado doesn't regulate mortgages in the same manner as Kansas. Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Missouri allow these charges by statute and are thorough enough that a regulation isn't required. Our regulation is consistent with their statutes. Section II Explain whether the proposed rule and regulation is mandated by federal law as a requirement for participating in or implementing a federally subsidized or assisted program and whether the proposed rules and regulations exceed the requirements of applicable federal law. The proposed rules and regulations are neither mandated by federal law nor is it a requirement for paiticipation in any federally subsidized or assisted program. The proposed rules and regulations work in conjunction with applicable federal laws. They do not exceed any requirements, rules or procedures of applicable federal law. Section III Agency analysis specifically addressing the following: A. The extent to which the rule(s) and regulation(s) will enhance or restrict business activities and growth; The proposed amendments are expected to have negligible impact on business activities and growth. No assessments or charges are being incurred by the businesses for the implementation ofthese regulations. B. The economic effect, including a detailed quantification of implementation and compliance costs, on the specific businesses, sectors, public utility ratepayers, individuals, and local governments that will be affected by the proposed rule(s) and regulation(s) and on the state economy as a whole; The proposed regulation supplements existing law, K.S.A. 9-2229. Neither the consumer nor the licensee are being assessed any costs or fees associated with the drafting, passage or implementation ofthis amendment.

I . C. Businesses that would be directly affected by the proposed rule(s) and regulation(s); Any bank credit union, mortgage company or loan officer who originates or closes any mortgage loan in the state ofKansas with Kansas consumers. D. Benefits ofthe proposed rule(s) and regulation(s) compared to the costs; There is no cost associated with the proposed regulation. This regulation isn't new as K.A.R. 75-6-9 already applied, and it clarifies what additional charges can be charged. We expect to see only benefits for both financial institutions and the consumer. The proposed regulation provides additional protection to the Kansas consumer by placing contingencies on what can be charged to the consumer and what is considered "additional charges" in conjunction with K.S.A. 9-2229, and allows the financial institution to charge for ce1tain goods and services related to a mortgage transaction that would otherwise be prohibited by state law. E. Measures taken by the agency to minimize the cost and impact of the proposed rule(s) and regulation(s) on business and economic development within the State ofKansas, local government, and individuals; The proposed rules and regulations take into consideration the interests of both the financial institution and the consumer. No cost is being assessed to either party because of the creation or implementation of this proposed regulation. F.
