20    shall deem necessary or proper, and no less frequently than

22    appoint a suitable person or persons to make an examination
23    of the affairs of every State bank, except that for every

 

 

SB2023- 2 -LRB101 09588 JRG 54686 b

1    eligible State bank, as defined by regulation, the
2    Commissioner in lieu of the examination may accept on an
3    alternating basis the examination made by the eligible
4    State bank's appropriate federal banking agency pursuant
5    to Section 111 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
6    Improvement Act of 1991, provided the appropriate federal
7    banking agency has made such an examination. A person so
8    appointed shall not be a stockholder or officer or employee
9    of any bank which that person may be directed to examine,
10    and shall have powers to make a thorough examination into
11    all the affairs of the bank and in so doing to examine any
12    of the officers or agents or employees thereof on oath and
13    shall make a full and detailed report of the condition of
14    the bank to the Commissioner. In making the examination the
15    examiners shall include an examination of the affairs of
16    all the affiliates of the bank, as defined in subsection
17    (b) of Section 35.2 of this Act, or subsidiaries of the
18    bank as shall be necessary to disclose fully the conditions
19    of the subsidiaries or affiliates, the relations between

SB2023- 3 -LRB101 09588 JRG 54686 b

1    examination of State bank branches in those states, and the
2    Commissioner may accept reports of examinations of State
3    bank branches from those state regulatory authorities.
4    These cooperative agreements may set forth the manner in
5    which the other state regulatory authorities may be
6    compensated for examinations prepared for and submitted to
7    the Commissioner.
8        (b) After May 31, 1997, the Commissioner is authorized
9    to examine, as often as the Commissioner shall deem
10    necessary or proper, branches of out-of-state banks. The
11    Commissioner may establish and may assess fees to be paid
12    to the Commissioner for examinations under this subsection
13    (b). The fees shall be borne by the out-of-state bank,
14    unless the fees are borne by the state regulatory authority
15    that chartered the out-of-state bank, as determined by a
16    cooperative agreement between the Commissioner and the
17    state regulatory authority that chartered the out-of-state
18    bank.
19        (2.1) Pursuant to paragraph (a) of subsection (6) of
20    this Section, the Secretary shall adopt rules that ensure
21    consistency and due process in the examination process. The
22    Secretary may also establish guidelines that (i) define the
23    scope of the examination process and (ii) clarify
24    examination items to be resolved. The rules, formal
25    guidance, interpretive letters, or opinions furnished to
26    State banks by the Secretary may be relied upon by the

 

 

SB2023- 4 -LRB101 09588 JRG 54686 b

1    State banks.
2        (2.5) Whenever any State bank, any subsidiary or
3    affiliate of a State bank, or after May 31, 1997, any
4    branch of an out-of-state bank causes to be performed, by
5    contract or otherwise, any bank services for itself,
6    whether on or off its premises:
7            (a) that performance shall be subject to
8        examination by the Commissioner to the same extent as
9        if services were being performed by the bank or, after
10        May 31, 1997, branch of the out-of-state bank itself on
11        its own premises; and
12            (b) the bank or, after May 31, 1997, branch of the
13        out-of-state bank shall notify the Commissioner of the
14        existence of a service relationship. The notification
15        shall be submitted with the first statement of
16        condition (as required by Section 47 of this Act) due
17        after the making of the service contract or the
18        performance of the service, whichever occurs first.
19        The Commissioner shall be notified of each subsequent
20        contract in the same manner.
21        For purposes of this subsection (2.5), the term "bank
22    services" means services such as sorting and posting of
23    checks and deposits, computation and posting of interest
24    and other credits and charges, preparation and mailing of
25    checks, statements, notices, and similar items, or any
26    other clerical, bookkeeping, accounting, statistical, or

 

 

SB2023- 5 -LRB101 09588 JRG 54686 b

1    similar functions performed for a State bank, including but
2    not limited to electronic data processing related to those
3    bank services.
4        (3) The expense of administering this Act, including
5    the expense of the examinations of State banks as provided
6    in this Act, shall to the extent of the amounts resulting
7    from the fees provided for in paragraphs (a), (a-2), and
8    (b) of this subsection (3) be assessed against and borne by
9    the State banks:
10            (a) Each bank shall pay to the Secretary a Call
11        Report Fee which shall be paid in quarterly
12        installments equal to one-fourth of the sum of the
13        annual fixed fee of $800, plus a variable fee based on
14        the assets shown on the quarterly statement of
15        condition delivered to the Secretary in accordance
16        with Section 47 for the preceding quarter according to
17        the following schedule: 16˘ per $1,000 of the first
18        $5,000,000 of total assets, 15˘ per $1,000 of the next
19        $20,000,000 of total assets, 13˘ per $1,000 of the next
20        $75,000,000 of total assets, 9˘ per $1,000 of the next
21        $400,000,000 of total assets, 7˘ per $1,000 of the next

23        assets in excess of $1,000,000,000, of the State bank.
24        The Call Report Fee shall be calculated by the
25        Secretary and billed to the banks for remittance at the
26        time of the quarterly statements of condition provided

 

 

SB2023- 6 -LRB101 09588 JRG 54686 b

1        for in Section 47. The Secretary may require payment of
2        the fees provided in this Section by an electronic
3        transfer of funds or an automatic debit of an account
4        of each of the State banks. In case more than one
5        examination of any bank is deemed by the Secretary to
6        be necessary in any examination frequency cycle
7        specified in subsection 2(a) of this Section, and is
8        performed at his direction, the Secretary may assess a
9        reasonable additional fee to recover the cost of the
10        additional examination. In lieu of the method and
11        amounts set forth in this paragraph (a) for the
12        calculation of the Call Report Fee, the Secretary may
13        specify by rule that the Call Report Fees provided by
14        this Section may be assessed semiannually or some other
15        period and may provide in the rule the formula to be
16        used for calculating and assessing the periodic Call
17        Report Fees to be paid by State banks.
18            (a-1) If in the opinion of the Commissioner an
19        emergency exists or appears likely, the Commissioner
20        may assign an examiner or examiners to monitor the
21        affairs of a State bank with whatever frequency he
22        deems appropriate, including but not limited to a daily
23        basis. The reasonable and necessary expenses of the
24        Commissioner during the period of the monitoring shall
25        be borne by the subject bank. The Commissioner shall
26        furnish the State bank a statement of time and expenses

 

 

SB2023- 7 -LRB101 09588 JRG 54686 b

1        if requested to do so within 30 days of the conclusion
2        of the monitoring period.
3            (a-2) On and after January 1, 1990, the reasonable
4        and necessary expenses of the Commissioner during
5        examination of the performance of electronic data
6        processing services under subsection (2.5) shall be
7        borne by the banks for which the services are provided.
8        An amount, based upon a fee structure prescribed by the
9        Commissioner, shall be paid by the banks or, after May
10        31, 1997, branches of out-of-state banks receiving the
11        electronic data processing services along with the
12        Call Report Fee assessed under paragraph (a) of this
13        subsection (3).
14            (a-3) After May 31, 1997, the reasonable and
15        necessary expenses of the Commissioner during
16        examination of the performance of electronic data
17        processing services under subsection (2.5) at or on
18        behalf of branches of out-of-state banks shall be borne
19        by the out-of-state banks, unless those expenses are
20        borne by the state regulatory authorities that
21        chartered the out-of-state banks, as determined by
22        cooperative agreements between the Commissioner and
23        the state regulatory authorities that chartered the
24        out-of-state banks.
25            (b) "Fiscal year" for purposes of this Section 48
26        is defined as a period beginning July 1 of any year and

 

 

SB2023- 8 -LRB101 09588 JRG 54686 b

1        ending June 30 of the next year. The Commissioner shall
2        receive for each fiscal year, commencing with the
3        fiscal year ending June 30, 1987, a contingent fee
4        equal to the lesser of the aggregate of the fees paid
5        by all State banks under paragraph (a) of subsection
6        (3) for that year, or the amount, if any, whereby the
7        aggregate of the administration expenses, as defined
8        in paragraph (c), for that fiscal year exceeds the sum
9        of the aggregate of the fees payable by all State banks
10        for that year under paragraph (a) of subsection (3),
11        plus any amounts transferred into the Bank and Trust
12        Company Fund from the State Pensions Fund for that
13        year, plus all other amounts collected by the
14        Commissioner for that year under any other provision of
15        this Act, plus the aggregate of all fees collected for
16        that year by the Commissioner under the Corporate
17        Fiduciary Act, excluding the receivership fees
18        provided for in Section 5-10 of the Corporate Fiduciary
19        Act, and the Foreign Banking Office Act. The aggregate
20        amount of the contingent fee thus arrived at for any
21        fiscal year shall be apportioned amongst, assessed
22        upon, and paid by the State banks and foreign banking
23        corporations, respectively, in the same proportion
24        that the fee of each under paragraph (a) of subsection
25        (3), respectively, for that year bears to the aggregate
26        for that year of the fees collected under paragraph (a)

 

 

SB2023- 9 -LRB101 09588 JRG 54686 b

1        of subsection (3). The aggregate amount of the
2        contingent fee, and the portion thereof to be assessed
3        upon each State bank and foreign banking corporation,
4        respectively, shall be determined by the Commissioner
5        and shall be paid by each, respectively, within 120
6        days of the close of the period for which the
7        contingent fee is computed and is payable, and the
8        Commissioner shall give 20 days' advance notice of the
9        amount of the contingent fee payable by the State bank
10        and of the date fixed by the Commissioner for payment
11        of the fee.
12            (c) The "administration expenses" for any fiscal
13        year shall mean the ordinary and contingent expenses
14        for that year incident to making the examinations
15        provided for by, and for otherwise administering, this
16        Act, the Corporate Fiduciary Act, excluding the
17        expenses paid from the Corporate Fiduciary
18        Receivership account in the Bank and Trust Company
19        Fund, the Foreign Banking Office Act, the Electronic
20        Fund Transfer Act, and the Illinois Bank Examiners'
21        Education Foundation Act, including all salaries and
22        other compensation paid for personal services rendered
23        for the State by officers or employees of the State,
24        including the Commissioner and the Deputy
25        Commissioners, communication equipment and services,
26        office furnishings, surety bond premiums, and travel

 

 

SB2023- 10 -LRB101 09588 JRG 54686 b

1        expenses of those officers and employees, employees,
2        expenditures or charges for the acquisition,
3        enlargement or improvement of, or for the use of, any
4        office space, building, or structure, or expenditures
5        for the maintenance thereof or for furnishing heat,
6        light, or power with respect thereto, all to the extent
7        that those expenditures are directly incidental to
8        such examinations or administration. The Commissioner
9        shall not be required by paragraphs (c) or (d-1) of
10        this subsection (3) to maintain in any fiscal year's
11        budget appropriated reserves for accrued vacation and
12        accrued sick leave that is required to be paid to
13        employees of the Commissioner upon termination of
14        their service with the Commissioner in an amount that
15        is more than is reasonably anticipated to be necessary
16        for any anticipated turnover in employees, whether due
17        to normal attrition or due to layoffs, terminations, or
18        resignations.
19            (d) The aggregate of all fees collected by the
20        Secretary under this Act, the Corporate Fiduciary Act,
21        or the Foreign Banking Office Act on and after July 1,
22        1979, shall be paid promptly after receipt of the same,
23        accompanied by a detailed statement thereof, into the
24        State treasury and shall be set apart in a special fund
25        to be known as the "Bank and Trust Company Fund",
26        except as provided in paragraph (c) of subsection (11)

 

 

SB2023- 11 -LRB101 09588 JRG 54686 b

1        of this Section. All earnings received from
2        investments of funds in the Bank and Trust Company Fund
3        shall be deposited in the Bank and Trust Company Fund
4        and may be used for the same purposes as fees deposited
5        in that Fund. The amount from time to time deposited
6        into the Bank and Trust Company Fund shall be used: (i)
7        to offset the ordinary administrative expenses of the
8        Secretary as defined in this Section or (ii) as a
9        credit against fees under paragraph (d-1) of this
10        subsection (3). Nothing in this amendatory Act of 1979
11        shall prevent continuing the practice of paying
12        expenses involving salaries, retirement, social
13        security, and State-paid insurance premiums of State
14        officers by appropriations from the General Revenue
15        Fund. However, the General Revenue Fund shall be
16        reimbursed for those payments made on and after July 1,
17        1979, by an annual transfer of funds from the Bank and
18        Trust Company Fund. Moneys in the Bank and Trust
19        Company Fund may be transferred to the Professions
20        Indirect Cost Fund, as authorized under Section
21        2105-300 of the Department of Professional Regulation
22        Law of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois.
23            Notwithstanding provisions in the State Finance
24        Act, as now or hereafter amended, or any other law to
25        the contrary, the sum of $18,788,847 shall be
26        transferred from the Bank and Trust Company Fund to the

 

 

SB2023- 12 -LRB101 09588 JRG 54686 b

1        Financial Institutions Settlement of 2008 Fund on the
2        effective date of this amendatory Act of the 95th
3        General Assembly, or as soon thereafter as practical.
4            Notwithstanding provisions in the State Finance
5        Act, as now or hereafter amended, or any other law to
6        the contrary, the Governor may, during any fiscal year
7        through January 10, 2011, from time to time direct the
8        State Treasurer and Comptroller to transfer a
9        specified sum not exceeding 10% of the revenues to be
10        deposited into the Bank and Trust Company Fund during
11        that fiscal year from that Fund to the General Revenue
12        Fund in order to help defray the State's operating
13        costs for the fiscal year. Notwithstanding provisions
14        in the State Finance Act, as now or hereafter amended,
15        or any other law to the contrary, the total sum
16        transferred during any fiscal year through January 10,
17        2011, from the Bank and Trust Company Fund to the
18        General Revenue Fund pursuant to this provision shall
19        not exceed during any fiscal year 10% of the revenues
20        to be deposited into the Bank and Trust Company Fund
21        during that fiscal year. The State Treasurer and
22        Comptroller shall transfer the amounts designated
23        under this Section as soon as may be practicable after
24        receiving the direction to transfer from the Governor.
25            (d-1) Adequate funds shall be available in the Bank
26        and Trust Company Fund to permit the timely payment of

 

 

SB2023- 13 -LRB101 09588 JRG 54686 b

1        administration expenses. In each fiscal year the total
2        administration expenses shall be deducted from the
3        total fees collected by the Commissioner and the
4        remainder transferred into the Cash Flow Reserve
5        Account, unless the balance of the Cash Flow Reserve
6        Account prior to the transfer equals or exceeds
7        one-fourth of the total initial appropriations from
8        the Bank and Trust Company Fund for the subsequent
9        year, in which case the remainder shall be credited to
10        State banks and foreign banking corporations and
11        applied against their fees for the subsequent year. The
12        amount credited to each State bank and foreign banking
13        corporation shall be in the same proportion as the Call
14        Report Fees paid by each for the year bear to the total
15        Call Report Fees collected for the year. If, after a
16        transfer to the Cash Flow Reserve Account is made or if
17        no remainder is available for transfer, the balance of
18        the Cash Flow Reserve Account is less than one-fourth
19        of the total initial appropriations for the subsequent
20        year and the amount transferred is less than 5% of the
21        total Call Report Fees for the year, additional amounts
22        needed to make the transfer equal to 5% of the total
23        Call Report Fees for the year shall be apportioned
24        amongst, assessed upon, and paid by the State banks and
25        foreign banking corporations in the same proportion
26        that the Call Report Fees of each, respectively, for

 

 

SB2023- 14 -LRB101 09588 JRG 54686 b

1        the year bear to the total Call Report Fees collected
2        for the year. The additional amounts assessed shall be
3        transferred into the Cash Flow Reserve Account. For
4        purposes of this paragraph (d-1), the calculation of
5        the fees collected by the Commissioner shall exclude
6        the receivership fees provided for in Section 5-10 of
7        the Corporate Fiduciary Act.
8            (e) The Commissioner may upon request certify to
9        any public record in his keeping and shall have
10        authority to levy a reasonable charge for issuing
11        certifications of any public record in his keeping.
12            (f) In addition to fees authorized elsewhere in
13        this Act, the Commissioner may, in connection with a
14        review, approval, or provision of a service, levy a
15        reasonable charge to recover the cost of the review,
16        approval, or service.
17        (4) Nothing contained in this Act shall be construed to
18    limit the obligation relative to examinations and reports
19    of any State bank, deposits in which are to any extent
20    insured by the United States or any agency thereof, nor to
21    limit in any way the powers of the Commissioner with
22    reference to examinations and reports of that bank.
23        (5) The nature and condition of the assets in or
24    investment of any bonus, pension, or profit sharing plan
25    for officers or employees of every State bank or, after May
26    31, 1997, branch of an out-of-state bank shall be deemed to

 

 

SB2023- 15 -LRB101 09588 JRG 54686 b

1    be included in the affairs of that State bank or branch of
2    an out-of-state bank subject to examination by the
3    Commissioner under the provisions of subsection (2) of this
4    Section, and if the Commissioner shall find from an
5    examination that the condition of or operation of the
6    investments or assets of the plan is unlawful, fraudulent,
7    or unsafe, or that any trustee has abused his trust, the
8    Commissioner shall, if the situation so found by the
9    Commissioner shall not be corrected to his satisfaction
10    within 60 days after the Commissioner has given notice to
11    the board of directors of the State bank or out-of-state
12    bank of his findings, report the facts to the Attorney
13    General who shall thereupon institute proceedings against
14    the State bank or out-of-state bank, the board of directors
15    thereof, or the trustees under such plan as the nature of
16    the case may require.
17        (6) The Commissioner shall have the power:
18            (a) To promulgate reasonable rules for the purpose
19        of administering the provisions of this Act.
20            (a-5) To impose conditions on any approval issued
21        by the Commissioner if he determines that the
22        conditions are necessary or appropriate. These
23        conditions shall be imposed in writing and shall
24        continue in effect for the period prescribed by the
25        Commissioner.
26            (b) To issue orders against any person, if the

 

 

SB2023- 16 -LRB101 09588 JRG 54686 b

1        Commissioner has reasonable cause to believe that an
2        unsafe or unsound banking practice has occurred, is
3        occurring, or is about to occur, if any person has
4        violated, is violating, or is about to violate any law,
5        rule, or written agreement with the Commissioner, or
6        for the purpose of administering the provisions of this
7        Act and any rule promulgated in accordance with this
8        Act.
9            (b-1) To enter into agreements with a bank
10        establishing a program to correct the condition of the
11        bank or its practices.
12            (c) To appoint hearing officers to execute any of
13        the powers granted to the Commissioner under this
14        Section for the purpose of administering this Act and
15        any rule promulgated in accordance with this Act and
16        otherwise to authorize, in writing, an officer or
17        employee of the Office of Banks and Real Estate to
18        exercise his powers under this Act.
19            (d) To subpoena witnesses, to compel their
20        attendance, to administer an oath, to examine any
21        person under oath, and to require the production of any
22        relevant books, papers, accounts, and documents in the

1        reasonable determination, based on objective facts and
2        an accurate assessment of applicable legal standards,

4        violation under subparagraph (i) of paragraph (A) of
5        item (6) or an unsafe and unsound practice under
6        subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (A) of item (6):
7                (i) directly resulted in a substantial and
8            material financial loss or created a reasonable
9            probability that a substantial and material

11                (ii) constituted willful misconduct or a
12            material breach of fiduciary duty of any director,
13            officer, or committee member of the credit union;
14            Material financial loss, as referenced in this
15        paragraph (B), shall be assessed in light of
16        surrounding circumstances and the relative size and
17        nature of the financial loss or probable financial
18        loss. Certain benchmarks shall be used in determining
19        whether financial loss is material, such as a
20        percentage of total assets or total gross income for
21        the immediately preceding 12-month period. Absent
22        compelling and extraordinary circumstances, no civil
23        penalty shall be assessed, unless the financial loss or
24        probable financial loss is equal to or greater than
25        either 1% of the credit union's total assets for the

9            within a specific and reasonable time frame to
10            avoid imposition of the penalty;
11            (D) Civil penalties assessed under this item (6)
12        shall be remedial, not punitive, and reasonably
13        tailored to ensure future compliance by the credit
14        union with the provisions of this Act and any rules
15        adopted pursuant to this Act;
16            (E) a credit union's failure to take timely
17        remedial action with respect to the specific violation
18        may result in the issuance of an order assessing a
19        civil penalty up to the following maximum amount, based
20        upon the total assets of the credit union:
21                (i) Credit unions with assets of less than $10

10        hearing under 38 IL. Adm. Code 190.20 of the
11        Department's rules for credit unions within 90 days
12        after issuance of the order; in that event, the order
13        shall be stayed until a final administrative order is
