The Maine Senate voted unanimously to pass a bill from Sen. Anne Carney, D-Cape Elizabeth, to clarify protections against foreclosure in light of a decision by the Maine Supreme Judicial Court (SJC) in 2024. LD 1444, “An Act to Clarify the Application of Finch v. U.S. Bank, N.A.,” would prohibit a lender that lost a foreclosure case before 2024 due to their failure to comply with notice requirements from bringing a new foreclosure claim against the same homeowner.
