For the purposes of this chapter, the term, loan processor or underwriter, means any individual who performs clerical or support duties as an employee at the direction of and subject to the supervision and instruction of a person licensed according to this chapter, or a person exempt according to this chapter. Clerical or support duties subsequent to the receipt of an application include the receipt, collection, distribution, and analysis of information common for the processing or underwriting of a mortgage loan; and communicating with a consumer to obtain the information necessary for the processing or underwriting of a loan, to the extent that the communication does not include offering or negotiating loan rates or terms, or counseling consumers about mortgage loan rates or terms.
No individual engaging solely in loan processor or underwriter activities may represent to the public, through advertising or other means of communicating or providing information including the use of business cards, stationery, brochures, signs, rate lists, or other promotional items, that the individual can or will perform any of the activities of a mortgage loan originator.
