09800HB3961ham001- 2 -LRB098 15520 ZMM 58247 a

1State banks as provided in Section 47 at least one time during
2each calendar quarter.
3    (2) (a) The Commissioner, as often as the Commissioner
4shall deem necessary or proper, and no less frequently than 18
5months following the preceding examination, shall appoint a
6suitable person or persons to make an examination of the
7affairs of every State bank, except that for every eligible
8State bank, as defined by regulation, the Commissioner in lieu
9of the examination may accept on an alternating basis the
10examination made by the eligible State bank's appropriate
11federal banking agency pursuant to Section 111 of the Federal
12Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991,
13provided the appropriate federal banking agency has made such
14an examination. A person so appointed shall not be a
15stockholder or officer or employee of any bank which that
16person may be directed to examine, and shall have powers to
17make a thorough examination into all the affairs of the bank
18and in so doing to examine any of the officers or agents or
19employees thereof on oath and shall make a full and detailed
20report of the condition of the bank to the Commissioner. In

1and the effect of those relations upon the affairs of the bank,
2and in connection therewith shall have power to examine any of
3the officers, directors, agents, or employees of the
4subsidiaries or affiliates on oath. After May 31, 1997, the
5Commissioner may enter into cooperative agreements with state
6regulatory authorities of other states to provide for
7examination of State bank branches in those states, and the
8Commissioner may accept reports of examinations of State bank
9branches from those state regulatory authorities. These
10cooperative agreements may set forth the manner in which the
11other state regulatory authorities may be compensated for
12examinations prepared for and submitted to the Commissioner.
13    (b) After May 31, 1997, the Commissioner is authorized to
14examine, as often as the Commissioner shall deem necessary or

17for examinations under this subsection (b). The fees shall be
18borne by the out-of-state bank, unless the fees are borne by
19the state regulatory authority that chartered the out-of-state
20bank, as determined by a cooperative agreement between the
21Commissioner and the state regulatory authority that chartered
22the out-of-state bank.
23    (2.1) Pursuant to paragraph (a) of subsection (6) of this
24Section, the Secretary shall adopt rules that ensure

26Secretary may also establish guidelines that (i) define the

 

 

09800HB3961ham001- 4 -LRB098 15520 ZMM 58247 a

1scope of the examination process and (ii) clarify examination
2items to be resolved. The rules, formal guidance, interpretive
3letters, or opinions furnished to State banks by the Secretary
4may be relied upon by the State banks.
5    (2.5) Whenever any State bank, any subsidiary or affiliate
6of a State bank, or after May 31, 1997, any branch of an
7out-of-state bank causes to be performed, by contract or
8otherwise, any bank services for itself, whether on or off its
9premises:
10        (a) that performance shall be subject to examination by
11    the Commissioner to the same extent as if services were
12    being performed by the bank or, after May 31, 1997, branch
13    of the out-of-state bank itself on its own premises; and
14        (b) the bank or, after May 31, 1997, branch of the
15    out-of-state bank shall notify the Commissioner of the
16    existence of a service relationship. The notification
17    shall be submitted with the first statement of condition
18    (as required by Section 47 of this Act) due after the
19    making of the service contract or the performance of the
20    service, whichever occurs first. The Commissioner shall be
21    notified of each subsequent contract in the same manner.

24and deposits, computation and posting of interest and other
25credits and charges, preparation and mailing of checks,

5expense of the examinations of State banks as provided in this
6Act, shall to the extent of the amounts resulting from the fees

2    automatic debit of an account of each of the State banks.
3    In case more than one examination of any bank is deemed by
4    the Secretary to be necessary in any examination frequency
5    cycle specified in subsection 2(a) of this Section, and is
6    performed at his direction, the Secretary may assess a
7    reasonable additional fee to recover the cost of the
8    additional examination; provided, however, that an
9    examination conducted at the request of the State Treasurer
10    pursuant to the Uniform Disposition of Unclaimed Property
11    Act shall not be deemed to be an additional examination
12    under this Section. In lieu of the method and amounts set
13    forth in this paragraph (a) for the calculation of the Call
14    Report Fee, the Secretary may specify by rule that the Call
15    Report Fees provided by this Section may be assessed
16    semiannually or some other period and may provide in the
17    rule the formula to be used for calculating and assessing
18    the periodic Call Report Fees to be paid by State banks.
19        (a-1) If in the opinion of the Commissioner an
20    emergency exists or appears likely, the Commissioner may
21    assign an examiner or examiners to monitor the affairs of a
22    State bank with whatever frequency he deems appropriate,
23    including but not limited to a daily basis. The reasonable
24    and necessary expenses of the Commissioner during the

4    necessary expenses of the Commissioner during examination
5    of the performance of electronic data processing services

8    fee structure prescribed by the Commissioner, shall be paid
9    by the banks or, after May 31, 1997, branches of
10    out-of-state banks receiving the electronic data
11    processing services along with the Call Report Fee assessed
12    under paragraph (a) of this subsection (3).
13        (a-3) After May 31, 1997, the reasonable and necessary
14    expenses of the Commissioner during examination of the
15    performance of electronic data processing services under
16    subsection (2.5) at or on behalf of branches of

18    banks, unless those expenses are borne by the state
19    regulatory authorities that chartered the out-of-state
20    banks, as determined by cooperative agreements between the
21    Commissioner and the state regulatory authorities that
22    chartered the out-of-state banks.
23        (b) "Fiscal year" for purposes of this Section 48 is
24    defined as a period beginning July 1 of any year and ending

09800HB3961ham001- 8 -LRB098 15520 ZMM 58247 a

1    ending June 30, 1987, a contingent fee equal to the lesser
2    of the aggregate of the fees paid by all State banks under
3    paragraph (a) of subsection (3) for that year, or the
4    amount, if any, whereby the aggregate of the administration
5    expenses, as defined in paragraph (c), for that fiscal year
6    exceeds the sum of the aggregate of the fees payable by all
7    State banks for that year under paragraph (a) of subsection
8    (3), plus any amounts transferred into the Bank and Trust
9    Company Fund from the State Pensions Fund for that year,
10    plus all other amounts collected by the Commissioner for

17    arrived at for any fiscal year shall be apportioned
18    amongst, assessed upon, and paid by the State banks and
19    foreign banking corporations, respectively, in the same
20    proportion that the fee of each under paragraph (a) of
21    subsection (3), respectively, for that year bears to the
22    aggregate for that year of the fees collected under
23    paragraph (a) of subsection (3). The aggregate amount of
24    the contingent fee, and the portion thereof to be assessed

09800HB3961ham001- 9 -LRB098 15520 ZMM 58247 a

1    shall be paid by each, respectively, within 120 days of the
2    close of the period for which the contingent fee is
3    computed and is payable, and the Commissioner shall give 20
4    days advance notice of the amount of the contingent fee
5    payable by the State bank and of the date fixed by the

23    or improvement of, or for the use of, any office space,
24    building, or structure, or expenditures for the
25    maintenance thereof or for furnishing heat, light, or power
26    with respect thereto, all to the extent that those

 

 

09800HB3961ham001- 10 -LRB098 15520 ZMM 58247 a

1    expenditures are directly incidental to such examinations
2    or administration. The Commissioner shall not be required
3    by paragraphs (c) or (d-1) of this subsection (3) to
4    maintain in any fiscal year's budget appropriated reserves
5    for accrued vacation and accrued sick leave that is
6    required to be paid to employees of the Commissioner upon
7    termination of their service with the Commissioner in an
8    amount that is more than is reasonably anticipated to be
9    necessary for any anticipated turnover in employees,
10    whether due to normal attrition or due to layoffs,
11    terminations, or resignations.
12        (d) The aggregate of all fees collected by the
13    Secretary under this Act, the Corporate Fiduciary Act, or
14    the Foreign Banking Office Act on and after July 1, 1979,
15    shall be paid promptly after receipt of the same,
16    accompanied by a detailed statement thereof, into the State
17    treasury and shall be set apart in a special fund to be
18    known as the "Bank and Trust Company Fund", except as
19    provided in paragraph (c) of subsection (11) of this
20    Section. All earnings received from investments of funds in
21    the Bank and Trust Company Fund shall be deposited in the
22    Bank and Trust Company Fund and may be used for the same
23    purposes as fees deposited in that Fund. The amount from
24    time to time deposited into the Bank and Trust Company Fund
25    shall be used: (i) to offset the ordinary administrative
26    expenses of the Secretary as defined in this Section or

 

 

09800HB3961ham001- 11 -LRB098 15520 ZMM 58247 a

1    (ii) as a credit against fees under paragraph (d-1) of this
2    subsection (3). Nothing in this amendatory Act of 1979
3    shall prevent continuing the practice of paying expenses
4    involving salaries, retirement, social security, and
5    State-paid insurance premiums of State officers by
6    appropriations from the General Revenue Fund. However, the
7    General Revenue Fund shall be reimbursed for those payments
8    made on and after July 1, 1979, by an annual transfer of
9    funds from the Bank and Trust Company Fund. Moneys in the
10    Bank and Trust Company Fund may be transferred to the
11    Professions Indirect Cost Fund, as authorized under
12    Section 2105-300 of the Department of Professional
13    Regulation Law of the Civil Administrative Code of
14    Illinois.
15        Notwithstanding provisions in the State Finance Act,
16    as now or hereafter amended, or any other law to the
17    contrary, the sum of $18,788,847 shall be transferred from
18    the Bank and Trust Company Fund to the Financial
19    Institutions Settlement of 2008 Fund on the effective date
20    of this amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly, or as
21    soon thereafter as practical.
22        Notwithstanding provisions in the State Finance Act,
23    as now or hereafter amended, or any other law to the
24    contrary, the Governor may, during any fiscal year through
25    January 10, 2011, from time to time direct the State
26    Treasurer and Comptroller to transfer a specified sum not

 

 

09800HB3961ham001- 12 -LRB098 15520 ZMM 58247 a

1    exceeding 10% of the revenues to be deposited into the Bank
2    and Trust Company Fund during that fiscal year from that
3    Fund to the General Revenue Fund in order to help defray
4    the State's operating costs for the fiscal year.
5    Notwithstanding provisions in the State Finance Act, as now
6    or hereafter amended, or any other law to the contrary, the
7    total sum transferred during any fiscal year through
8    January 10, 2011, from the Bank and Trust Company Fund to
9    the General Revenue Fund pursuant to this provision shall
10    not exceed during any fiscal year 10% of the revenues to be
11    deposited into the Bank and Trust Company Fund during that
12    fiscal year. The State Treasurer and Comptroller shall
13    transfer the amounts designated under this Section as soon
14    as may be practicable after receiving the direction to
15    transfer from the Governor.
16        (d-1) Adequate funds shall be available in the Bank and
17    Trust Company Fund to permit the timely payment of
18    administration expenses. In each fiscal year the total
19    administration expenses shall be deducted from the total
20    fees collected by the Commissioner and the remainder
21    transferred into the Cash Flow Reserve Account, unless the
22    balance of the Cash Flow Reserve Account prior to the
23    transfer equals or exceeds one-fourth of the total initial
24    appropriations from the Bank and Trust Company Fund for the
25    subsequent year, in which case the remainder shall be
26    credited to State banks and foreign banking corporations

 

 

09800HB3961ham001- 13 -LRB098 15520 ZMM 58247 a

1    and applied against their fees for the subsequent year. The
2    amount credited to each State bank and foreign banking
3    corporation shall be in the same proportion as the Call
4    Report Fees paid by each for the year bear to the total
5    Call Report Fees collected for the year. If, after a
6    transfer to the Cash Flow Reserve Account is made or if no
7    remainder is available for transfer, the balance of the
8    Cash Flow Reserve Account is less than one-fourth of the
9    total initial appropriations for the subsequent year and
10    the amount transferred is less than 5% of the total Call
11    Report Fees for the year, additional amounts needed to make
12    the transfer equal to 5% of the total Call Report Fees for
13    the year shall be apportioned amongst, assessed upon, and
14    paid by the State banks and foreign banking corporations in
15    the same proportion that the Call Report Fees of each,
16    respectively, for the year bear to the total Call Report
17    Fees collected for the year. The additional amounts
18    assessed shall be transferred into the Cash Flow Reserve
19    Account. For purposes of this paragraph (d-1), the
20    calculation of the fees collected by the Commissioner shall
21    exclude the receivership fees provided for in Section 5-10
22    of the Corporate Fiduciary Act.
23        (e) The Commissioner may upon request certify to any
24    public record in his keeping and shall have authority to
25    levy a reasonable charge for issuing certifications of any
26    public record in his keeping.

 

 

09800HB3961ham001- 14 -LRB098 15520 ZMM 58247 a

1        (f) In addition to fees authorized elsewhere in this
2    Act, the Commissioner may, in connection with a review,
3    approval, or provision of a service, levy a reasonable
4    charge to recover the cost of the review, approval, or
5    service.
6    (4) Nothing contained in this Act shall be construed to
7limit the obligation relative to examinations and reports of
8any State bank, deposits in which are to any extent insured by
9the United States or any agency thereof, nor to limit in any
10way the powers of the Commissioner with reference to
11examinations and reports of that bank.
12    (5) The nature and condition of the assets in or investment
13of any bonus, pension, or profit sharing plan for officers or
14employees of every State bank or, after May 31, 1997, branch of
15an out-of-state bank shall be deemed to be included in the
16affairs of that State bank or branch of an out-of-state bank
17subject to examination by the Commissioner under the provisions
18of subsection (2) of this Section, and if the Commissioner
19shall find from an examination that the condition of or
20operation of the investments or assets of the plan is unlawful,
21fraudulent, or unsafe, or that any trustee has abused his
22trust, the Commissioner shall, if the situation so found by the
23Commissioner shall not be corrected to his satisfaction within
2460 days after the Commissioner has given notice to the board of
25directors of the State bank or out-of-state bank of his
26findings, report the facts to the Attorney General who shall

 

 

09800HB3961ham001- 15 -LRB098 15520 ZMM 58247 a

1thereupon institute proceedings against the State bank or
2out-of-state bank, the board of directors thereof, or the
3trustees under such plan as the nature of the case may require.
4    (6) The Commissioner shall have the power:
5        (a) To promulgate reasonable rules for the purpose of
6    administering the provisions of this Act.
7        (a-5) To impose conditions on any approval issued by
8    the Commissioner if he determines that the conditions are
9    necessary or appropriate. These conditions shall be
10    imposed in writing and shall continue in effect for the
11    period prescribed by the Commissioner.
12        (b) To issue orders against any person, if the
13    Commissioner has reasonable cause to believe that an unsafe
14    or unsound banking practice has occurred, is occurring, or
15    is about to occur, if any person has violated, is
16    violating, or is about to violate any law, rule, or written
17    agreement with the Commissioner, or for the purpose of
18    administering the provisions of this Act and any rule
19    promulgated in accordance with this Act.
20        (b-1) To enter into agreements with a bank establishing
21    a program to correct the condition of the bank or its
22    practices.
23        (c) To appoint hearing officers to execute any of the
24    powers granted to the Commissioner under this Section for
25    the purpose of administering this Act and any rule
26    promulgated in accordance with this Act and otherwise to
