Relates to residential foreclosure actions

Summary

The bill directs New York courts to send a homeowner’s contact information to a designated housing‑counseling agency whenever a foreclosure case is filed, so the homeowner can learn about counseling and prevention options. It also pauses most motions while settlement talks are ongoing, lets the original plaintiff restart a dismissed case within six months, and bars courts from hearing motions filed more than 30 days after a dismissal. These changes aim to give borrowers more help and certainty during foreclosure proceedings.
