  1 18 examination of the premises, the director may order
  1 19 safeguards or take any other action necessary to

  1 21 implement this subsection."
  1 22    #4.  Page 10, by inserting after line 24, the
  1 23 following:
  1 24    "Sec. 100.  DEFINITION – MILITARY SERVICE.  For
  1 25 the purposes of sections 100 through 106, "military
  1 26 service" means full-time active state service, as
  1 27 defined in section 29A.1, or full-time state active
  1 28 duty, as defined in section 29A.1, for a period of at
  1 29 least ninety consecutive days.
  1 30    Sec. 101.  EVICTION OR DISTRESS DURING MILITARY
  1 31 SERVICE – STAY – PENALTY FOR NONCOMPLIANCE –
  1 32 ALLOTMENT OF PAY FOR PAYMENT.
  1 33    1.  No eviction or distress shall be made during
  1 34 the period of military service in respect of any
  1 35 premises for which the agreed rent does not exceed one
  1 36 thousand two hundred dollars per month, occupied
  1 37 chiefly for dwelling purposes by the spouse, child, or
  1 38 other dependent of a person in military service,
  1 39 except upon leave of court granted upon application or
  1 40 granted in an action or proceeding affecting the right
  1 41 of possession.
  1 42    2.  On any such application as provided in
  1 43 subsection 1, or in any such action as provided in
  1 44 subsection 1, the court may, in its discretion, on its
  1 45 own motion, and shall, on application, unless in the
  1 46 opinion of the court the ability of the tenant to pay
  1 47 the agreed rent is not materially affected by reason
  1 48 of such military service, stay the proceedings for not
  1 49 longer than three months.  Where such stay is granted
  1 50 or other order is made by the court, the owner of the
  2  1 premises shall be entitled, upon application, to
  2  2 relief in respect of such premises similar to that
  2  3 granted persons in military service in sections 102
  2  4 and 103 of this Act to such extent and for such period
  2  5 as may appear to the court to be just.
  2  6    Sec. 102.  INSTALLMENT CONTRACTS FOR PURCHASE OF
  2  7 PROPERTY.
  2  8    1.  No person who has received, or whose assignor
  2  9 has received, under a contract for the purchase of
  2 10 real or personal property, or of lease or bailment
  2 11 with a view to purchase of such property, a deposit or
  2 12 installment of the purchase price, or a deposit or
  2 13 installment under the contract, lease, or bailment,
  2 14 from a person or from the assignor of a person who,
  2 15 after the date of payment of such deposit or
  2 16 installment, has entered military service, shall
  2 17 exercise any right or option under such contract to
  2 18 rescind or terminate the contract or resume possession
  2 19 of the property for nonpayment of any installment due
  2 20 or for any other breach of its terms occurring prior
  2 21 to or during the period of such military service,
  2 22 except by action in a court of competent jurisdiction.
  2 23    2.  Upon the hearing of such action as provided in
  2 24 subsection 1, the court may order the repayment of
  2 25 prior installments or deposits or any part, as a
  2 26 condition of terminating the contract and resuming
  2 27 possession of the property, or may, in its discretion,
  2 28 on its own motion, and shall, on application to it by
  2 29 such person in military service or some person on the
  2 30 person's behalf, order a stay of proceedings as the
  2 31 court deems just, unless in the opinion of the court,
  2 32 the ability of the defendant to comply with the terms
  2 33 of the contract is not materially affected by reason
  2 34 of such service; or it may make such other disposition
  2 35 of the case as may be equitable to conserve the
  2 36 interests of all parties.
  2 37    Sec. 103.  MORTGAGES, TRUST DEEDS, OR OTHER
  2 38 SECURITY.
  2 39    1.  The provisions of this section shall apply only
  2 40 to obligations secured by mortgage, trust deed, or
  2 41 other security in the nature of a mortgage upon real
  2 42 or personal property owned by a person in military
  2 43 service at the commencement of the period of the
  2 44 military service and still so owned by the person
  2 45 which obligations originated prior to the person's
  2 46 period of military service.
  2 47    2.  In any proceeding commenced in any court during
  2 48 the period of military service to enforce such
  2 49 obligation as provided in subsection 1 arising out of
  2 50 nonpayment of any sum due or out of any other breach
  3  1 of the terms of the mortgage, trust deed, or other
  3  2 security occurring prior to or during the period of
  3  3 such service the court may, after hearing, in its
  3  4 discretion, on its own motion, and shall, on
  3  5 application to it by such person in military service
  3  6 or some person on the defendant's behalf, unless in
  3  7 the opinion of the court the ability of the defendant
  3  8 to comply with the terms of the obligation is not
  3  9 materially affected by reason of the defendant's
  3 10 military service, do any of the following:
  3 11    a.  Stay the proceedings for such period as the
  3 12 court deems just.
  3 13    b.  Make such other disposition of the case as may
  3 14 be equitable to conserve the interests of all parties.
  3 15    3.  No sale, foreclosure, or seizure of property
  3 16 for nonpayment of any sum due under any such
  3 17 obligation as provided in subsection 1, or for any
  3 18 other breach of the terms thereof, whether under a
  3 19 power of sale, under a judgment entered upon warrant
  3 20 of attorney to confess judgment contained therein, or
  3 21 otherwise, shall be valid if made during the period of
  3 22 military service or within three months thereafter,
  3 23 except pursuant to an agreement between the parties,
  3 24 unless upon an order previously granted by the court
  3 25 and a return thereto made and approved by the court.
  3 26    Sec. 104.  TERMINATION OF LEASES BY LESSEES.
  3 27    1.  The provisions of this section shall apply to
  3 28 any lease covering premises occupied for dwelling,
  3 29 professional, business, agricultural, or similar
  3 30 purposes in any case in which such lease was executed
  3 31 by or on the behalf of a person who, after the
  3 32 execution of such lease, entered military service.
  3 33    2.  Any such lease as provided in subsection 1 may
  3 34 be terminated by notice in writing delivered to the
  3 35 lessor or to the lessor's agent by the lessee at any
  3 36 time following the date of the beginning of the period
  3 37 of military service.  Delivery of such notice may be
  3 38 accomplished by placing it in an envelope properly
  3 39 stamped and duly addressed to the lessor or to the
  3 40 lessor's agent and depositing the notice in the United
  3 41 States mail.  Termination of any such lease providing
  3 42 for monthly payment of rent shall not be effective
  3 43 until thirty days after the first date on which the
  3 44 next rental payment is due and payable subsequent to
  3 45 the date when such notice is delivered or mailed.  In
  3 46 the case of all other leases, termination shall be
  3 47 effected on the last day of the month following the
  3 48 month in which such notice is delivered or mailed and
  3 49 in such case any unpaid rental for a period preceding
  3 50 termination shall be proratably computed and any
  4  1 rental paid in advance for a period succeeding
  4  2 termination shall be refunded by the lessor.  Upon
  4  3 application by the lessor to the appropriate court
  4  4 prior to the termination period provided for in the
  4  5 notice, any relief granted in this subsection shall be
  4  6 subject to such modifications or restrictions as in
  4  7 the opinion of the court justice and equity may in the
  4  8 circumstances require.
  4  9    Sec. 105.  MAXIMUM RATE OF INTEREST.  No obligation
  4 10 or liability bearing interest at a rate in excess of
  4 11 six percent per year incurred by a person in military
  4 12 service before that person's entry into that service
  4 13 shall, during any part of the period of military
  4 14 service, bear interest at a rate in excess of six
  4 15 percent per year unless, in the opinion of the court,
  4 16 upon application thereto by the obligee, the ability
  4 17 of such person in military service to pay interest
  4 18 upon such obligation or liability at a rate in excess
  4 19 of six percent per year is not materially affected by
  4 20 reason of such service, in which case the court may
  4 21 make such order as in its opinion may be just.  As
  4 22 used in this section the term "interest" includes
  4 23 service charges, renewal charges, fees, or any other
  4 24 charges, except bona fide insurance, in respect of
  4 25 such obligation or liability.
  4 26    Sec. 106.  PROVISIONS APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING
  4 27 CONTRARY CODE PROVISIONS.  Sections 100 through 105 of
  4 28 this Act apply notwithstanding any contrary provision
  4 29 of state law, which may include but is not limited to
  4 30 Titles XIII, XIV, and XV.
  4 31    Sec. 107.  Sections 100 through 106 of this Act are
  4 32 repealed on January 31, 2002."

  4 34 "date" the following:  ", except that sections 100
  4 35 through 106 of this Act shall not be applied
  4 36 retroactively".
