Section 50314 Of Chapter 5. Administration And Powers Of The Commissioner From California Financial Code >> Division 20. >> Chapter 5.
50314
. (a) Every person subject to this division shall keep
documents and records that will properly enable the commissioner to
determine whether the residential mortgage lending or residential
mortgage loan servicing functions performed by that person comply
with the provisions of this division and with all rules and orders
made by the commissioner under this division. Upon request of the
commissioner, residential mortgage lenders and residential mortgage
loan servicers shall file an authorization for disclosure to the
commissioner of financial records of the licensed business pursuant
to Section 7473 of the Government Code.
(b) The business documents and records of every residential
mortgage lender or residential mortgage loan servicer, whether
required to be licensed under this division or not, are subject to
inspection and examination by the commissioner at any time without
prior notice. The provisions of this subdivision shall not apply to
persons specified in subdivision (g) of Section 50003.
Any person subject to this division shall, upon request and within
the time specified in the request, allow inspection and copying of
any documents and records by the commissioner or his or her
authorized representative.
(c) The cost of every inspection and examination of a licensee or
other person subject to this division shall be paid to the
commissioner by the licensee or person examined, and the commissioner
may maintain an action for the recovery of these costs in any court
of competent jurisdiction. In determining the cost of any inspection
or examination, the commissioner may use the estimated average hourly
cost, including overhead, for all persons performing inspections or
examinations of licensees or other persons subject to this division
for the fiscal year.
For the purpose of this subdivision only, no person other than a
licensee shall be deemed to be a person subject to this division
unless and until the person is determined to be a person subject to
this division by an administrative hearing in accordance with Chapter
5 (commencing with Section 11500) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2
of the Government Code, or by a judicial hearing in any court of
competent jurisdiction.
(d) Investigation and examination reports prepared by the
commissioner's duly designated representatives are not public
reports. Those reports may be disclosed to the officers or directors
of a licensee that is the subject of the report for the purpose of
corrective action by the officers or directors. Such a disclosure
shall not operate as a waiver of the exemption specified in
subdivision (d) of Section 6254 of the Government Code.
