SB1275, a bill that would have required banks to hold off on foreclosure proceedings while they were negotiating loan modifications with a home owner was rejected this week by the Assembly.  This bill would have also required the banks to actually look at a loan modification before they could foreclose.  Needless to say, the banks have fought hard against this bill.
