Sec. 1. (a) The general assembly makes the following findings:
(1) Indiana faces a serious threat to its state economy and to the economies of its political subdivisions because of Indiana's high rate of residential mortgage foreclosures, which constitutes an emergency.
(2) Indiana's high rate of residential mortgage foreclosures has adversely affected property values in Indiana, and may have an even greater adverse effect on property values if the foreclosure rate continues to rise.
(3) It is in the public interest for the state to modify the foreclosure process to encourage mortgage modification alternatives.
(b) The purpose of this chapter is to avoid unnecessary foreclosures of residential properties and thereby provide stability to Indiana's statewide and local economies by:
(1) requiring early contact and communications among creditors, their authorized agents, and debtors in order to engage in negotiations that could avoid foreclosure; and
(2) facilitating the modification of residential mortgages in appropriate circumstances.
