| banking premises is located in a state other than Illinois | 10 |
| shall establish a branch in this State, other than a branch | 11 |
| authorized pursuant to Section 21.1 of this Act, unless: | 12 |
| (1) the laws of the state in which such out-of-state | 13 |

| out-of-state bank must file an application for a certificate of
| 27 |
| authority on forms specified by the Commissioner which shall | 28 |
| request, to the extent applicable, the same information | 29 |
| required in an application by a foreign corporation pursuant to | 30 |
| Section 13.15 of the Business Corporation Act of 1983. The | 31 |
| Commissioner may require additional information or documents | 32 |

| certificate of authority authorizing the out-of-state bank to | 6 |
| establish the branch consistent with the provisions of this | 7 |
| Section. | 8 |

| Banking Board shall consider all material commercial, legal and | 14 |
| procedural factors, including but not limited to application, | 15 |
| procedures, regulatory burdens and tax consequences, that | 16 |

| State bank to establish and operate a branch in such other | 18 |
| state and the ability of such out-of-state bank or such | 19 |
| national bank to establish and operate a branch in this State. | 20 |
| Nothing in this Section shall be construed as imposing any | 21 |
| liability on the Commissioner the State Banking Board or the | 22 |
| individual members thereof with regard to any reciprocity | 23 |
| determinations that are made. | 24 |
| (d) After such out-of-state bank or national bank lawfully | 25 |
| establishes a branch in this State pursuant to the provisions | 26 |
| of this Section, such out-of-state bank or national bank may | 27 |
| establish and maintain additional branches in this State to the | 28 |
| same extent as a State bank. An out-of-state bank shall provide | 29 |
| written notice to the Commissioner of its intent to establish | 30 |
| an additional branch or branches in this State within 30 days | 31 |
| after receiving approval from the appropriate federal banking | 32 |
| agency to establish the branch or branches. The form of the | 33 |
| notice shall be specified by the Commissioner and may include | 34 |
| any of the information required for a similar notice by a State | 35 |
| bank. Receipt by the Commissioner of notice of the out-of-state | 36 |
