Nebraska Revised Statutes Chapter 76. Real Property § 76-2723. Option to repurchase;  conditions

(1) The reconveyance contract complies in all respects with section 76-2720;

(2) The reconveyance contract provides the homeowner with a nonwaivable, thirty-day right to cure any default of the reconveyance contract and specifies that the homeowner may exercise this right to cure on at least three separate occasions during the term of such reconveyance contract;

(3) The equity purchaser fully assumes or discharges the lien in foreclosure as well as any prior liens that will not be extinguished by the foreclosure, which assumption or discharge shall be accomplished without a violation of the terms and conditions of the liens being assumed or discharged;

(4) The equity purchaser verifies and can demonstrate that the homeowner has or will have a reasonable ability to make the lease payments and to repurchase the residence in foreclosure within the term of the option to repurchase under the reconveyance contract.  For purposes of this section, there is a rebuttable presumption that the homeowner has a reasonable ability to make lease payments and to repurchase the residence in foreclosure if the homeowner's payments for primary housing expenses and regular principal and interest payments on other personal debt do not exceed sixty percent of the homeowner's monthly gross income;  and

(5) The price the homeowner must pay to exercise the option to repurchase the residence in foreclosure is not unconscionable.  Without limitation on available claims under section 76-2726, a repurchase price exceeding twenty-five percent of the price at which the equity purchaser acquired the residence in foreclosure creates a rebuttable presumption that the reconveyance contract is unconscionable.  The acquisition price paid by the equity purchaser may include any actual costs incurred by the equity purchaser in acquiring the residence in foreclosure, including repairs and capital improvements, and may include below market rent discounts.  The equity purchaser shall provide the homeowner with documentation proving such costs and below market rent discounts prior to the homeowner's exercise of the option to purchase.

Subdivision 1. Renewal required.  All licenses to operate a crematory issued by the commissioner expire on June 30 following the date of issuance of the license and must be renewed to remain valid.

Subd. 2. Renewal procedure and documentation.  Licensees who wish to renew their licenses must submit to the commissioner a completed renewal application no later than June 30 following the date the license was issued.  A completed renewal application includes:

Subd. 3. Penalty for late filing.  Renewal applications received after the expiration date of a license will result in the assessment of a late filing penalty.  The late filing penalty must be paid before the reissuance of the license and received by the commissioner no later than 31 calendar days after the expiration date of the license.

Subd. 4. Lapse of license.  Licenses to operate crematories shall automatically lapse when a completed renewal application is not received by the commissioner within 31 calendar days after the expiration date of a license, or a late filing penalty assessed under subdivision 3 is not received by the commissioner within 31 calendar days after the expiration of a license.

Subd. 5. Effect of lapse of license.  Upon the lapse of a license, the person to whom the license was issued is no longer licensed to operate a crematory in Minnesota.  The commissioner shall issue a cease and desist order to prevent the lapsed license holder from operating a crematory in Minnesota and may pursue any additional lawful remedies as justified by the case.

Subd. 6. Restoration of lapsed license.  The commissioner may restore a lapsed license upon receipt and review of a completed renewal application, receipt of the late filing penalty, and reinspection of the premises, provided that the receipt is made within one calendar year from the expiration date of the lapsed license and the cease and desist order issued by the commissioner has not been violated.  If a lapsed license is not restored within one calendar year from the expiration date of the lapsed license, the holder of the lapsed license cannot be relicensed until the requirements in section 149A.52 are met.

Subd. 7. Reporting changes in license information.  Any change of license information must be reported to the commissioner, on forms provided by the commissioner, no later than 30 calendar days after the change occurs.  Failure to report changes is grounds for disciplinary action.

Subd. 8. Application information.  All information submitted to the commissioner by an applicant for renewal of licensure to operate a crematory is classified as licensing data under section 13.41, subdivision 5.

Subd. 9. Repealed by Laws 2013, c. 108, art. 12, § 109, par. (a), eff. July 1, 2013.
