Amendments1996—Pub. L. 104127 amended section generally. Prior to amendment, section read as follows: “Loans under this subchapter may be insured by the Secretary whenever funds are advanced or a loan is purchased by a lender other than the United States. In connection with insurance of loans, the Secretary— “(1) is authorized to make agreements with respect to the servicing of loans insured hereunder and to purchase such loans on such terms and conditions as he may prescribe; and “(2) may retain out of payments by the borrower a charge at a rate specified in the insurance agreement applicable to the loan. Any contract of insurance executed by the Secretary under this subchapter shall be an obligation supported by the full faith and credit of the United States and incontestable except for fraud or misrepresentation of which the holder has actual knowledge.” 1990—Pub. L. 101624 redesignated pars. (a) and (b) as pars. (1) and (2), respectively, and in par. (1), substituted “prescribe;” for “prescribe,;”. 1971—Pub. L. 92133 eliminated October 1, 1971, as time limitation for insurance of loans. 1968—Pub. L. 90488 authorized insurance of loans until Oct. 1, 1971, without the $450,000,000 limitation on aggregate amount in any one year. 1965—Pub. L. 89240 substituted “$450,000,000” for “$200,000,000”, “may retain” for “shall retain”, and “specified in the insurance agreement applicable to the loan” for “determined by the Secretary from time to time equivalent to not less than one-half of 1 per centum per annum on the principal unpaid balance of the loan”, and struck out “except that no agreement shall provide for purchase by the Secretary at a date sooner than three years from the date of the note” after “he may prescribe”. 1962—Pub. L. 87798 increased aggregate amount of loans that may be insured in any one year from $150,000,000 to $200,000,000.
