AS 18.56.108. Simplified Refinancing Mortgage Loan Purchase Program.

   (a) The corporation shall establish a simplified refinancing mortgage loan purchase program. Under the simplified refinancing mortgage loan purchase program, the corporation may purchase refinancing mortgage loans to provide relief to borrowers under circumstances described by regulations adopted by the corporation.
   (b) AS 18.56.098 (c), (e), and (j) apply to refinancing mortgage loans purchased under (a) of this section.
   (c) Subject to (d) of this section, the interest rate on a refinancing mortgage loan purchased under (a) of this section is two percent less than the cost to the corporation of the money used to purchase the refinancing mortgage loan, except that if the cost of money
        (1) is 10 percent or less, the interest rate is equal to the cost of money; and
        (2) is more than 10 percent, the interest rate may not be less than 10 percent.
   (d) If the refinancing mortgage loan is an adjustable rate mortgage loan, the corporation shall establish the initial interest rate as provided in (c) of this section and shall recalculate the interest rate from time to time in accordance with (c) of this section. However, notwithstanding (c)(1) of this section, the corporation may establish a minimum interest rate applicable to an adjustable rate refinancing mortgage loan.

The regulations may provide for recalculation of the cost of money under (d) of this section at the times and frequencies the corporation considers appropriate. The time and frequency for a recalculation under (d) of this section is not required to match the time or frequency of a change in the cost of money to the corporation.
   (f) Equity extraction may not be allowed under this program.
   (g) In this section, "refinancing mortgage loan" means a loan refinancing another mortgage loan owned by the corporation.
