When was the SAFE Act created?

• A. 1995
• B. 2008
• C. 2010
• D. 2012

Answer: (B)

The SAFE Act was created in 2008. It was enacted as part of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 and signed into law in July 2008. The act established a nationwide licensing framework for mortgage loan originators and created the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry (NMLS) to standardize licensing, registration, and enforcement across states, helping protect consumers and reduce fraud. The other years don’t fit because the act and the NMLS didn’t exist before 2008 and were not created afterward.
