     (1)  A registrant authorized to make residential mortgage loans on July 30, 2009, is authorized to continue doing so after July 30, 2009; provided, that each individual who acts as a mortgage loan originator with respect to any residential mortgage loan is registered with the commissioner in affiliation with that registrant on or before July 30, 2009. The excepted authority shall only continue for so long as the mortgage loan originator registration remains effective;

     (2)  To register a mortgage loan originator under subdivision (a)(1), the registrant must timely submit to the commissioner a nonrefundable registration fee of one hundred dollars ($100) and a completed registration form containing any information the commissioner deems necessary, including the following:

If this is timely accomplished, the registration shall remain effective until such time as the commissioner acts on the licensure application, but in no event shall the registration be valid after July 30, 2010. If the licensure application is approved, the license shall be issued for calendar year 2010; and

     (5)  An individual registered as a mortgage loan originator under this subsection (a) shall not be in violation of any law requiring a license to act as a mortgage loan originator for any origination services performed while the registration is effective.

Upon any change in the mortgage loan originator's office, the sponsoring registrant shall notify the commissioner in writing within fourteen (14) days of the change.

(c)  Should a mortgage loan originator sponsorship terminate, the mortgage loan originator's license shall become inactive, but shall not expire so long as the mortgage loan originator continues to meet all other requirements for licensure and renewal of licensure. An inactive license is reactivated if the mortgage loan originator obtains a new sponsorship under this section or under chapter 13, part 3 of this title. The commissioner may not approve a new sponsorship unless and until the commissioner has been notified that any prior sponsorship has terminated.

(d)  The sponsoring registrant shall ensure that each application for a residential mortgage loan contains the name and registration number of the registrant, as well as the name, signature and license number of the mortgage loan originator who provided origination services with respect to the loan. The registrant shall also ensure that the registrant's records pertaining to the residential mortgage loan contain the unique identifier, if different from the license number, of each mortgage loan originator that provided services with respect to the loan.

(e)  The sponsoring registrant is responsible for and shall supervise the acts of each sponsored mortgage loan originator.

(f)  A mortgage loan originator of a registrant is subject to all applicable requirements and prohibitions of chapter 13 of this title, unless otherwise stated in chapter 13 of this title.

(g)  A registrant that is authorized to make residential mortgage loans is subject to investigation and examination under chapter 13 of this title, to the extent that chapter 13 of this title provides the commissioner greater or different investigatory or examination power than is authorized under this chapter.

(h)  It is a violation of this chapter for a registrant to commit any of the acts or practices prohibited by § 45-13-401 in the making of a residential mortgage loan, as applicable.

(i)  A registrant that is authorized to make residential mortgage loans shall, pursuant to order or direction of the commissioner, submit reports of condition to the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry pertaining to its residential mortgage loan business, which shall be in the form and shall contain the information that the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry requires.
