HB2204 Engrossed                              LRB9105133JSpcA

 1        AN   ACT   concerning   the   regulation   of   financial
 2    institutions, amending a named Act.

 3        Be it enacted by the People of  the  State  of  Illinois,
 4    represented in the General Assembly:

 5        Section  1.  Short  title.   This Act may be cited as the
 6    Banking on Illinois Act.

 7        Section 5.  Findings and  declarations  of  policy.   The
 8    General Assembly hereby finds and declares:
 9             (1)  that  the economic strength and general welfare
10        of  Illinois  depends  on  a  strong,   profitable,   and
11        competitive banking industry in this State that preserves
12        and  creates  employment,  increases credit availability,
13        attracts capital, and expands the savings  base  for  the
14        citizens of this State;
15             (2)  that  the removal of geographic restrictions in
16        the federal banking laws and in the laws of the 50 states
17        has given rise to a substantial number of  newly  created
18        community banks and interstate bank mergers requiring the
19        selection of main office locations and relocations;
20             (3)  that  by  ensuring  a favorable environment for
21        banks to commence and operate their businesses from  this
22        State,  more  newly  created  community banks and merging
23        banks  will  choose   to   maintain   or   retain   their
24        headquarters  in  and relocate their main banking offices
25        to Illinois; and
26             (4)  that preserving and increasing  the  number  of
27        bank   headquarters   and  main  banking  offices  within
28        Illinois   will   substantially    increase    employment
29        opportunities,    credit    availability,   and   capital
30        investment in this State, while strengthening the savings
31        base  of  this  State,  thereby   providing   significant
 
HB2204 Engrossed            -2-               LRB9105133JSpcA
 1        benefits  to  all  Illinois  citizens,  to commercial and
 2        agricultural businesses of all sizes in this  State,  and
 3        to  all  local  governments and political subdivisions of
 4        this State.

 5        Section 10.  Purpose.  The purpose  of  this  Act  is  to
 6    encourage and provide a favorable environment in Illinois for
 7    the  chartering  and  operating  of  banks  that  locate  and
 8    maintain main banking offices in this State.

 9        Section 15.  Application of Illinois law.
10        (a)  To further the purpose and policies of this Act, the

 9        Sec. 5e.  Lending and account authority.
10        (a)  Notwithstanding the provisions of any other  law  in
11    connection  with extensions of credit, a State bank may elect
12    to contract for and receive interest, fees, and other charges
13    for extensions of credit subject only to  the  provisions  of
14    subsection  (1)  of Section 4 of the Interest Act, except for
15    extensions of credit  secured  by  residential  real  estate,

17        (b)  The establishment of account service charges and the

19    law  is a business decision to be made by a bank according to
20    prudent  business  judgment  and  safe  and  sound  operating
21    standards.  In establishing account service charges, the bank
22    may consider, but is not limited to  considering,  the  costs
23    incurred by the bank, plus a profit margin, for providing the
24    service, the deterrence of misuse of the bank's services, the
25    establishment  of  the  competitive  position  of the bank in
