Bill summary
**Uniform Mortgage Modification Act of 2025 (Proposed)** **The Simple Version:** This is a proposed law in Washington, D.C., meant to help homeowners who are struggling to pay their mortgages. Currently, different banks have different rules for how they handle people who fall behind on their payments, which can be very confusing and unfair. This law would create one clear, standard process that all banks must follow. The goal is to make it easier for homeowners to talk to their bank, negotiate new payment terms, and stay in their homes.
