disclose to any person, except to the member

| 19 | | (1) the member has authorized disclosure to the | 20 | | person;
| 21 | | (2) the financial records are disclosed in response to | 22 | | a lawful
subpoena,
summons, warrant, citation to discover | 23 | | assets, or court order that meets the requirements of | 24 | | subparagraph (3)(d)
of this Section; or
| 25 | | (3) the credit union is attempting to collect an | 26 | | obligation owed to
the credit union and the credit union |
| | | HB4689 Engrossed | - 45 - | LRB102 24081 BMS 33302 b |
|

| 3 | | (d) A credit union shall disclose financial records under | 4 | | item (3)(c)(2) of this Section pursuant to a lawful subpoena, | 5 | | summons, warrant, citation to discover assets, or

the credit | 9 | | union, if living, and otherwise his personal representative,
| 10 | | if known, at his last known address by first class mail, | 11 | | postage prepaid
unless the credit union is specifically | 12 | | prohibited from notifying the person
by order of court or by | 13 | | applicable State or federal law. In the case
of a grand jury | 14 | | subpoena, a credit union shall not mail a copy of a subpoena
to | 15 | | any person pursuant to this subsection if the subpoena was | 16 | | issued by a grand
jury under the Statewide Grand Jury Act or | 17 | | notifying the
person would constitute a violation of the | 18 | | federal Right to Financial
Privacy Act of 1978.
| 19 | | (e)(1) Any officer or employee of a credit union who | 20 | | knowingly and willfully
furnishes financial records in | 21 | | violation of this Section is guilty of

reproducing or transporting books, papers, | 5 | | records or other data of a

summons, warrant, | 7 | | citation to discover assets, or court order. The Secretary and | 8 | | the Director may determine, by rule, the
rates and
conditions | 9 | | under which payment shall be made. Delivery of requested | 10 | | documents
may be delayed until final reimbursement of all | 11 | | costs is received.

| 14 | | Section 20. The Financial Institutions Electronic | 15 | | Documents and Digital Signature Act is amended by changing | 16 | | Section 10 as follows:
| 17 | | (205 ILCS 705/10)
| 18 | | Sec. 10. Electronic documents; digital signatures; | 19 | | electronic notices.
| 20 | | (a) Electronic documents. If in the regular course of | 21 | | business, a financial institution possesses,
records, or | 22 | | generates any document, representation, image, substitute | 23 | | check, reproduction, or
combination thereof, of any agreement, | 24 | | transaction, act, occurrence, or event
by any electronic or |
| | | HB4689 Engrossed | - 47 - | LRB102 24081 BMS 33302 b |
|
| 1 | | computer-generated process that accurately reproduces,
| 2 | | comprises, or records the agreement, transaction, act, | 3 | | occurrence, or event,
the recording, comprising, or | 4 | | reproduction shall have the same force and effect under the | 5 | | laws of this State
as one comprised, recorded, or created on | 6 | | paper or other tangible form by
writing, typing, printing, or | 7 | | similar means.
| 8 | | (b) Digital signatures. In any communication, | 9 | | acknowledgement, agreement, or contract between a
financial | 10 | | institution and its customer, in which a signature is required | 11 | | or
used, any party to the communication, acknowledgement, | 12 | | agreement, or contract
may affix a signature by use of a | 13 | | digital signature, and the digital signature,
when lawfully | 14 | | used by the person whose signature it purports to be,
shall | 15 | | have the same force and effect as the use of a manual signature | 16 | | if it is
unique to the person using it, is capable of | 17 | | verification, is under the sole
control of the person using | 18 | | it, and is linked to data in such a manner that if
the data are | 19 | | changed, the digital signature is invalidated. Nothing in this
| 20 | | Section shall require any financial institution or customer to | 21 | | use or permit
the use of a digital signature.
| 22 | | (c) Electronic notices. | 23 | | (1) Consent to electronic records. If a statute, | 24 | | regulation, or other rule of law requires that information | 25 | | relating to a transaction or transactions in or affecting | 26 | | intrastate commerce in this State be provided or made |
| | | HB4689 Engrossed | - 48 - | LRB102 24081 BMS 33302 b |
|
| 1 | | available by a financial institution to a consumer in | 2 | | writing, the use of an electronic record to provide or | 3 | | make available that information satisfies the requirement | 4 | | that the information be in writing if: | 5 | | (A) the consumer has affirmatively consented to | 6 | | the use of an electronic record to provide or make | 7 | | available that information and has not withdrawn | 8 | | consent; | 9 | | (B) the consumer, prior to consenting, is provided | 10 | | with a clear and conspicuous statement: | 11 | | (i) informing the consumer of: | 12 | | (I) any right or option of the consumer to | 13 | | have the record provided or made available on | 14 | | paper or in nonelectronic form, and | 15 | | (II) the right of the consumer to withdraw | 16 | | the consent to have the record provided or | 17 | | made available in an electronic form and of | 18 | | any conditions, consequences (which may | 19 | | include termination of the parties' | 20 | | relationship), or fees in the event of a | 21 | | withdrawal of consent; | 22 | | (ii) informing the consumer of whether the | 23 | | consent applies: | 24 | | (I) only to the particular transaction | 25 | | that gave rise to the obligation to provide | 26 | | the record, or |
| | | HB4689 Engrossed | - 49 - | LRB102 24081 BMS 33302 b |
|
| 1 | | (II) to identified categories of records | 2 | | that may be provided or made available during | 3 | | the course of the parties' relationship; | 4 | | (iii) describing the procedures the consumer | 5 | | must use to withdraw consent, as provided in | 6 | | clause (i), and to update information needed to | 7 | | contact the consumer electronically; and | 8 | | (iv) informing the consumer: | 9 | | (I) how, after the consent, the consumer | 10 | | may, upon request, obtain a paper copy of an | 11 | | electronic record, and | 12 | | (II) whether any fee will be charged for a | 13 | | paper copy; | 14 | | (C) the consumer: | 15 | | (i) prior to consenting, is provided with a | 16 | | statement of the hardware and software | 17 | | requirements for access to and retention of the | 18 | | electronic records; and | 19 | | (ii) consents electronically, or confirms his | 20 | | or her consent electronically, in a manner that | 21 | | reasonably demonstrates that the consumer can | 22 | | access information in the electronic form that | 23 | | will be used to provide the information that is | 24 | | the subject of the consent;
and | 25 | | (D) after the consent of a consumer in accordance | 26 | | with subparagraph (A), if a change in the hardware or |
| | | HB4689 Engrossed | - 50 - | LRB102 24081 BMS 33302 b |
|
| 1 | | software requirements needed to access or retain | 2 | | electronic records creates a material risk that the | 3 | | consumer will not be able to access or retain a | 4 | | subsequent electronic record that was the subject of | 5 | | the consent, the person providing the electronic | 6 | | record: | 7 | | (i) provides the consumer with a statement of: | 8 | | (I) the revised hardware and software | 9 | | requirements for access to and retention of | 10 | | the electronic records, and | 11 | | (II) the right to withdraw consent without | 12 | | the imposition of any fees for the withdrawal | 13 | | and without the imposition of any condition or | 14 | | consequence that was not disclosed under | 15 | | subparagraph (B)(i); and | 16 | | (ii) again complies with subparagraph (C). | 17 | | (2) Other rights. | 18 | | (A) Preservation of consumer protections. Nothing | 19 | | in this subsection (c) affects the content or timing | 20 | | of any disclosure or other record required to be | 21 | | provided or made available to any consumer under any | 22 | | statute, regulation, or other rule of law. | 23 | | (B) Verification or acknowledgment. If a law that | 24 | | was enacted prior to this amendatory Act of the 95th | 25 | | General Assembly expressly requires a record to be | 26 | | provided or made available by a specified method that |
| | | HB4689 Engrossed | - 51 - | LRB102 24081 BMS 33302 b |
|
| 1 | | requires verification or acknowledgment of receipt, | 2 | | the record may be provided or made available | 3 | | electronically only if the method used provides the | 4 | | required verification or acknowledgment of receipt. | 5 | | (2.5) Consent to electronic transactions given by the | 6 | | customer pursuant to the federal Electronic Signatures in | 7 | | Global and National Commerce Act, 15 U.S.C. 7001, shall | 8 | | satisfy the consent requirements of this Act. | 9 | | (3) Effect of failure to obtain electronic consent or | 10 | | confirmation of consent. The legal effectiveness, | 11 | | validity, or enforceability of any contract executed by a | 12 | | consumer shall not be denied solely because of the failure | 13 | | to obtain electronic consent or confirmation of consent by | 14 | | that consumer in accordance with paragraph (1)(C)(ii). | 15 | | (4) Prospective effect. Withdrawal of consent by a | 16 | | consumer shall not affect the legal effectiveness, | 17 | | validity, or enforceability of electronic records provided | 18 | | or made available to that consumer in accordance with | 19 | | paragraph (1) prior to implementation of the consumer's | 20 | | withdrawal of consent. A consumer's withdrawal of consent | 21 | | shall be effective within a reasonable period of time | 22 | | after receipt of the withdrawal by the provider of the | 23 | | record. Failure to comply with paragraph (1)(D) may, at | 24 | | the election of the consumer, be treated as a withdrawal | 25 | | of consent for purposes of this paragraph. | 26 | | (5) Prior consent. This subsection does not apply to |
| | | HB4689 Engrossed | - 52 - | LRB102 24081 BMS 33302 b |
|
| 1 | | any records that are provided or made available to a | 2 | | consumer who has consented prior to the effective date of | 3 | | this amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly to | 4 | | receive the records in electronic form as permitted by any | 5 | | statute, regulation, or other rule of law. | 6 | | (6) Oral communications. An oral communication or a | 7 | | recording of an oral communication shall not qualify as an | 8 | | electronic record for purposes of this subsection (c), | 9 | | except as otherwise provided under applicable law.
