Section 3804. Applicability of preemption provisions

      (a) The provisions of section 3803 of this title shall not apply
    to any alternative mortgage transaction in any State made on or
    after the effective date (if such effective date occurs on or after
    October 15, 1982, and prior to a date three years after October 15,
    1982) of a State law or a certification that the voters of such
    State have voted in favor of any provision, constitutional or
    otherwise, which states explicitly and by its terms that such State
    does not want the preemption provided in section 3803 of this title
    to apply with respect to alternative mortgage transactions (or to
    any class or type of alternative mortgage transaction) subject to
    the laws of such State, except that section 3803 of this title
    shall continue to apply to - 
        (1) any alternative mortgage transaction undertaken on or after
      such date pursuant to an agreement to undertake such alternative
      mortgage transaction which was entered into on or after October
      15, 1982, and prior to such later date (the "preemption period");
      and
        (2) any renewal, extension, refinancing, or other modification
      of an alternative mortgage transaction that was entered into
      during the preemption period.

      (b) An alternative mortgage transaction shall be deemed to have
    been undertaken during the preemption period to which this section
    applies if it - 
        (1) is funded or extended in whole or in part during the
      preemption period, regardless of whether pursuant to a commitment
      or other agreement therefor made prior to that period; or
        (2) is a renewal, extension, refinancing, or other modification
      of an alternative mortgage transaction entered into before the
      preemption period and such renewal, extension, or other
      modification is made during such period with the written consent
      of any person obligated to repay such credit.
