B. Effective September 1, 2010, s. 70(3), ch. 2009-241, provides that “[a]ll mortgage broker licenses issued before October 1, 2010, pursuant to s. 494.0033 or s. 494.0034, Florida Statutes, expire on December 31, 2010. However, if a person holding an active mortgage broker license issued before October 1, 2010, applies for a loan originator license through the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry between October 1, 2010, and December 31, 2010, the mortgage broker license does not expire until the Office of Financial Regulation approves or denies the loan originator license application. Notwithstanding s. 120.60, Florida Statutes, for mortgage broker applications submitted between July 1, 2009, and December 31, 2009, or loan originator applications submitted between October 1, 2010, and December 31, 2010, the office has 60 days to notify the applicant of any apparent errors or omissions in an application and to request any additional information that the office may require, and the office has 180 days to approve or deny a completed application. Application fees may not be prorated for partial years of licensure.”
