Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Banking Act. Provides that a bank that relies upon a power of attorney naming a bank customer as principal must notify the customer within 10 days after the act of reliance. Requires the customer to review the act of reliance and notify the bank of any unauthorized transaction. Provides that failure of a customer to notify the bank of an unauthorized transaction precludes the customer from making certain claims against the bank.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Provides that a bank must provide notice of reliance upon a power of attorney by certified or registered mail with restricted delivery. Provides that the customer has 30, rather than 10, days within which to notify the bank of an unauthorized transaction. Limits a bank's authority to rely on multiple powers of attorney. Removes provision permitting allocation of loss between the customer and a bank.
