 3 the laws of 2018, is amended to read as follows:
 4 2. The notices required by this section shall be sent by such lender,

 6 the borrower, by registered or certified mail and also by first-class

 8 address of the borrower, and to the residence that is the subject of the
 9 mortgage. The notices required by this section shall be sent by the
 10 lender, assignee or mortgage loan servicer in a separate envelope from
 11 any other mailing or notice. Notice is considered given as of the date
