     8  those terms are defined under section thirteen hundred four of the  real
     9  property  actions and proceedings law, in which the defendant is a resi-
    10  dent of the property subject to foreclosure,  the  court  shall  hold  a
    11  mandatory  conference  within  sixty  days  after the date when proof of
    12  service is filed with the county clerk, or on such adjourned date as has
    13  been agreed to by the parties, for the  purpose  of  holding  settlement
    14  discussions  pertaining  to  the  relative rights and obligations of the
    15  parties under the mortgage loan documents, including,  but  not  limited
    16  to: [1.] (i) determining whether the parties can reach a mutually agree-
    17  able  resolution to help the defendant avoid losing his or her home, and
    18  evaluating the potential for a resolution in which payment schedules  or
    19  amounts  may  be  modified  or  other  workout  options may be agreed to
    20  including, but not limited to, a loan modification, short sale, deed  in
    21  lieu  of  foreclosure, or any other loss mitigation option; or [2.] (ii)
    22  whatever other purposes the court deems appropriate.
    23    2. (i) Paragraph one of this subdivision shall not  apply  to  a  home
    24  loan  secured  by  a reverse mortgage where the default was triggered by
    25  the death of the last surviving borrower unless:
    26    (A) the last surviving borrower's spouse, if any, is a resident of the
    27  property subject to foreclosure; or
    28    (B) the last surviving  borrower's  successor  in  interest,  who,  by
    29  bequest  or  through intestacy, owns, or has a claim to the ownership of
    30  the property subject to foreclosure, and who  was  a  resident  of  such
    31  property at the time of the death of such last surviving borrower.
    32    (ii)  The  superintendent  of  financial  services may promulgate such
    33  rules and regulations as he or she shall deem necessary to implement the
    34  provisions of this paragraph.
    35    § 3. This act shall take effect immediately and  shall  be  deemed  to
    36  have been in full force and effect on and after April 20, 2017; provided
    37  that:

    39  erty actions and proceedings law, made by section one of this act, shall
    40  not affect the expiration and reversion of such subdivision pursuant  to
