On the recordOctober 12, 2000
Mr. Speaker, to follow up where we were, a question that I think is extremely important is the question of homeowners today in Texas and other States which have a broader homestead exemption. Are these provisions prospective in nature in that if one has resided in their home for 2 or more years today, or of the date of enactment, if this bill is to become enacted into law, would they thus be exempted from the Federal cap provided for in this bill? Would they be under State law at that time and any subsequent purchase they make using the equity from the home they own today be exempted from that cap?
