27 would be in violation of or prohibited by any provision

31 with respect to the ownership, possession, and carrying of
32 stock that a State bank is permitted to own, possess, or
33 carry under this Act.

13 preferred stock, if any, together with a surplus of not less
14 than 50% of the capital, and a reserve for operating expenses
15 of at least 25% of the capital, has been all fully paid in
16 and a record of the same filed with the Commissioner, the
17 Commissioner or some competent person of the Commissioner's
18 appointment shall make a thorough examination into the
19 affairs of the proposed bank, and if satisfied that all the
20 requirements of this Act have been complied with, and that no
21 intervening circumstance has occurred to change the
22 Commissioner's findings made pursuant to Section 10 of this
23 Act, upon payment into the Commissioner's office of the
24 reasonable expenses of the examination, as determined by the
25 Commissioner, the Commissioner shall issue a charter
26 authorizing the bank to commence business as authorized in
27 this Act. All charters issued by the Commissioner or any
28 predecessor agency which chartered State banks, including any
29 charter outstanding as of September 1, 1989, shall be
30 perpetual. For the 2 years after the Commissioner has issued
31 a charter to a bank, the bank shall request and obtain from
32 the Commissioner prior written approval before it may change
33 senior management personnel or directors.
-22- LRB9000532JSsbB
1 The original charter, duly certified by the Commissioner,
2 shall be recorded, and the original or a certified copy shall
3 be evidence in all courts and places of the existence and
4 authority of the bank to do business. Upon the issuance
5 recording of the charter by the Commissioner, the bank shall
6 be deemed fully organized and may proceed to do business.
7 The Commissioner may, in the Commissioner's discretion,
8 withhold the issuing of the charter when the Commissioner has
9 reason to believe that the bank is organized for any purpose
10 other than that contemplated by this Act or that a commission
11 or fee has been paid in connection with the sale of the stock
12 of the bank. The Commissioner shall revoke the charter and
13 order liquidation in the event that the bank does not
14 commence a general banking business within one year from the
15 date of the issuance of the charter, unless a request has
16 been submitted, in writing, to the Commissioner for an
17 extension and the request has been approved. After
18 commencing a general banking business, a bank, upon written
19 notice to the Commissioner, may change its name.
20 (b) (1) The Commissioner may also issue a charter to a
21 bank that is owned exclusively by other depository
22 institutions or depository institution holding companies and
23 is organized to engage exclusively in providing services to
24 or for other depository institutions, their holding
25 companies, and the officers, directors, and employees of such
26 institutions and companies, and in providing correspondent
27 banking services at the request of other depository
28 institutions or their holding companies (also referred to as
29 a "bankers' bank").
30 (2) A bank chartered pursuant to paragraph (1) shall,
31 except as otherwise specifically determined by the
32 Commissioner, be vested with the same rights and privileges
33 and subject to the same duties, restrictions, penalties, and
34 liabilities now or hereafter imposed under this Act.
-23- LRB9000532JSsbB
1 (c) A bank chartered under this Act after November 1,
2 1985, and an out-of-state bank that merges with a State bank
3 and establishes or maintains a branch in this State after May
4 31, 1997, shall obtain from and, at all times while it
5 accepts or retains deposits, maintain with the Federal
6 Deposit Insurance Corporation, or such other instrumentality
7 of or corporation chartered by the United States, deposit
8 insurance as authorized under federal law.
9 (d) (i) A bank that has a banking charter issued by the
10 Commissioner under this Act may, pursuant to a written
11 purchase and assumption agreement, transfer substantially all
12 of its assets to another State bank or national bank in
13 consideration, in whole or in part, for the transferee banks'
14 assumption of any part or all of its liabilities. Such a
15 transfer shall in no way be deemed to impair the charter of
16 the transferor bank or cause the transferor bank to forfeit
17 any of its rights, powers, interests, franchises, or
18 privileges as a State bank, nor shall any voluntary reduction
19 in the transferor bank's activities resulting from the
20 transfer have any such effect; provided, however, that a
21 State bank that transfers substantially all of its assets
22 pursuant to this subsection (d) and following the transfer
23 does not accept deposits and make loans, shall not have any
24 rights, powers, interests, franchises, or privileges under
25 subsection (15) of Section 5 of this Act until the bank has
26 resumed accepting deposits and making loans.
27 (ii) The fact that a State bank does not resume
28 accepting deposits and making loans for a period of 24 months
29 commencing on September 11, 1989 or on a date of the transfer
30 of substantially all of a State bank's assets, whichever is
31 later, or such longer period as the Commissioner may allow in
32 writing, may be the basis for a finding by the Commissioner
33 under Section 51 of this Act that the bank is unable to
34 continue operations.
-24- LRB9000532JSsbB
1 (iii) The authority provided by subdivision (i) of this
2 subsection (d)(i) shall terminate on May 31, 1997, and no
3 bank that has transferred substantially all of its assets
4 pursuant to this subsection (d) shall continue in existence
5 after May 31, 1997.

9 Sec. 13.5. Formation and merger of interim banks.
10 (a) An interim bank may be chartered as a State bank for
11 the exclusive purpose of accomplishing a corporate
12 restructuring through merger with an existing State bank. An
13 interim bank shall be chartered and merged pursuant to the
14 provisions of this Section. The interim bank shall not
15 accept deposits, make loans, pay checks, or engage in the
16 general banking business or any part thereof, and shall not
17 be subject to the provisions of this Act other than those set
18 forth in this Section; provided, however, that if the interim
19 bank becomes the resulting bank in a merger, such resulting
20 bank shall have all of the powers, rights, and duties of a
21 State bank and must comply with all applicable provisions of
22 this Act.
23 (b) An interim State bank may be organized upon
24 application by 5 or more incorporators or by a bank holding
25 company. The application shall be made on forms prescribed
26 by the Commissioner which shall request, at a minimum, the
27 following information:
28 (1) the names and addresses of the incorporators;
29 (2) the proposed name and address of the interim
30 bank;
31 (3) the name and address of all banks with which
32 the interim bank will be merging;
33 (4) a copy of the merger agreement by which the
-25- LRB9000532JSsbB
1 interim bank will be merged with the banks identified in
2 item (3) containing the same information required in
3 merger agreements pursuant to subsection (1) of Section
4 22 of this Act; and
5 (5) an acknowledgement that the interim bank shall
6 not engage in the general banking business or any part
7 thereof unless and until the interim bank becomes the
8 resulting bank in a merger.
9 (c) The merger agreement must be approved by all of the
10 incorporators of the interim bank and must be approved by the
11 existing State bank with which the interim bank will merge,
12 as required by Section 22 of this Act.
13 (d) Upon receipt of the application to organize the
14 interim bank and the merger agreement submitted pursuant to
15 this Section and Section 22 of this Act, the Commissioner may
16 issue a charter to the interim bank and approve the merger
17 agreement if the Commissioner makes the findings set forth in
18 subsection (3) of Section 22 of this Act. The interim bank's
19 charter shall not take effect until, and shall only be
20 effective for purposes of, the merger.
21 (e) Nothing in this Section affects the obligations of
22 an existing State bank with which the interim bank will
23 merge, or the rights of minority or dissenting shareholders
24 of the existing State bank, in connection with the approval,
25 execution, and accomplishment of a merger agreement as
26 provided elsewhere in this Act.
27 (205 ILCS 5/14) (from Ch. 17, par. 321)
28 Sec. 14. Stock. Unless otherwise provided for in this Act
29 provisions of general application to stock of a state bank
30 shall be as follows:
31 (1) All banks shall have their capital divided into
32 shares of a par value of not less than one dollar each and
33 not more than one hundred dollars each. No issue of capital
-26- LRB9000532JSsbB
1 stock or preferred stock shall be valid until not less than
2 the par value of all such stock so issued shall be paid in
3 and notice thereof by the president, a vice-president or
4 cashier of the bank has been transmitted to the Commissioner.
5 In the case of an increase in capital stock by the
6 declaration of a stock dividend, the capitalization of
7 retained earnings effected by such stock dividend shall
8 constitute the payment for such shares required by the
9 preceding sentence, provided that the surplus of said bank
10 after such stock dividend shall be at least equal to fifty
11 per cent of the capital as increased. The charter shall not
12 limit or deny the voting power of the shares of any class of
13 stock except as provided in Section 15(3) of this Act.
14 (2) Pursuant to action taken in accordance with the
15 requirements of Section 17, a bank may issue preferred stock
16 of one or more classes as shall be approved by the
17 Commissioner as hereinafter provided, and make such amendment
18 to its charter as may be necessary for this purpose; but in
19 the case of any newly organized bank which has not yet issued
20 capital stock the requirements of Section 17 shall not apply.
21 (3) Without limiting the authority herein contained a
22 bank, when so provided in its charter and when approved by
23 the Commissioner, may issue shares of preferred stock:
24 (a) Subject to the right of the bank to redeem any of
25 such shares at not exceeding the price fixed by the charter
26 for the redemption thereof;
27 (b) Subject to the provisions of subsection (8) of this
28 Section 14 entitling the holders thereof to cumulative or
29 noncumulative dividends;
30 (c) Having preference over any other class or classes of
31 shares as to the payment of dividends;
32 (d) Having preference as to the assets of the bank over
33 any other class or classes of shares upon the voluntary or
34 involuntary liquidation of the bank;
-27- LRB9000532JSsbB
1 (e) Convertible into shares of any other class of stock,
2 provided that preferred shares shall not be converted into
3 shares of a different par value unless that part of the
4 capital of the bank represented by such preferred shares is
5 at the time of the conversion equal to the aggregate par
6 value of the shares into which the preferred shares are to be
7 converted.
8 (4) If any part of the capital of a bank consists of
9 preferred stock, the determination of whether or not the
10 capital of such bank is impaired and the amount of such
11 impairment shall be based upon the par value of its stock
12 even though the amount which the holders of such preferred
13 stock shall be entitled to receive in the event of retirement
14 or liquidation shall be in excess of the par value of such
15 preferred stock.
16 (5) Pursuant to action taken in accordance with the
17 requirements of Section 17 of this Act, a state bank may
18 provide for a specified number of authorized but unissued
19 shares of capital stock for one or more of the following
20 purposes:
21 (a) Reserved for issuance under stock option plan or
22 plans to directors, officers or employees;
23 (b) Reserved for issuance upon conversion of convertible
24 preferred stock issued pursuant to and in compliance with the
25 provisions of subsections (2) and (3) of this Section 14.
26 (c) Reserved for issuance upon conversion of convertible
27 debentures or other convertible evidences of indebtedness
28 issued by a state bank, provided always that the terms of
29 such conversion have been approved by the Commissioner;
30 (d) Reserved for issuance by the declaration of a stock
31 dividend. If and when any shares of capital stock are
32 proposed to be authorized and reserved for any of the
33 purposes set forth in subparagraphs (a), (b) or (c) above,
34 the notice of the meeting, whether special or annual, of
-28- LRB9000532JSsbB
1 stockholders at which such proposition is to be considered
2 shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth or
3 summarizing the terms upon which the shares of capital stock
4 so reserved are to be issued, and the extent to which any
5 preemptive rights of stockholders are inapplicable to the
6 issuance of the shares so reserved or to the convertible
7 preferred stock or convertible debentures or other
8 convertible evidences of indebtedness, and the approving vote
9 of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding
10 shares of stock entitled to vote at such meeting of the terms
11 of such issuance shall be requisite for the adoption of any
12 amendment providing for the reservation of authorized but
13 unissued shares for any of said purposes. Nothing in this
14 subsection (5) contained shall be deemed to authorize the
15 issuance of any capital stock for a consideration less than
16 the par value thereof.
17 (6) Upon written application to the Commissioner 60 days
18 prior to the proposed purchase and receipt of the written
19 approval of the Commissioner, a state bank may purchase and
20 hold as treasury stock such amounts of the total number of
21 issued and outstanding shares of its capital and preferred
22 stock outstanding as the Commissioner determines is
23 consistent with safety and soundness of the bank. The
24 Commissioner may specify the manner of accounting for the
25 treasury stock and the form of notice prior to ultimate
26 disposition of the shares. Except as authorized in this
27 subsection, it shall not be lawful for a state bank to
28 purchase or hold any additional such shares or securities
29 described in subsection (2) of Section 37 unless necessary to
30 prevent loss upon a debt previously contracted in good faith,
31 in which event such shares or securities so purchased or
32 acquired shall, within 6 months from the time of purchase or
33 acquisition, be sold or disposed of at public or private
34 sale. Any state bank which intends to purchase and hold
-29- LRB9000532JSsbB
1 treasury stock as authorized in this subsection (6) shall
2 file a written application with the Commissioner 60 days
3 prior to any such proposed purchase. The application shall
4 state the number of shares to be purchased, the consideration
5 for the shares, the name and address of the person from whom
6 the shares are to be purchased, if known, and the total
7 percentage of its issued and outstanding shares to be held by
8 the bank after the purchase. The total consideration paid by
9 a state bank for treasury stock shall reduce capital and
10 surplus of the bank for purposes of Sections of this Act
11 relating to lending and investment limits which require
12 computation of capital and surplus. After considering and
13 approving an application to purchase and hold treasury stock
14 under this subsection, the Commissioner may waive or reduce
15 the balance of the 60 day application period. The
16 Commissioner may specify the form of the application for
17 approval to acquire treasury stock and promulgate rules and
18 regulations for the administration of this subsection (6). A
19 state bank may, acquire or resell its owns shares as treasury
20 stock pursuant to this subsection (6) without a change in its
21 charter pursuant to Section 17. Such stock may be held for
22 any purpose permitted in subsection (5) of this Section 14 or
23 may be resold upon such reasonable terms as the board of
24 directors may determine provided notice is given to the
25 Commissioner prior to the resale of such stock.
26 (7) During the time that a state bank shall continue its
27 banking business, it shall not withdraw or permit to be
28 withdrawn, either in the form of dividends or otherwise, any
29 portion of its capital, but nothing in this subsection shall
30 prevent a reduction or change of the capital stock or the
31 preferred stock under the provisions of Sections 17 through
32 30 of this Act, a purchase of treasury stock under the
33 provisions of subsection (6) of this Section 14 or a
34 redemption of preferred stock pursuant to charter provisions
-30- LRB9000532JSsbB
1 therefor.
2 (8)(a) Subject to the provisions of this Act, the board
3 of directors of a state bank from time to time may declare a
4 dividend of so much of the net profits of such bank as it
5 shall judge expedient, but each bank before the declaration
6 of a dividend shall carry at least one-tenth of its net
7 profits since the date of the declaration of the last
8 preceding dividend, or since the issuance of its charter in

20 Sec. 16. Directors. The business and affairs of a State
21 bank shall be managed by its board of directors that shall
22 exercise its powers as follows:
23 (1) Directors shall be elected as provided in this Act.
24 Any omission to elect a director or directors shall not
25 impair any of the rights and privileges of the bank or of any
26 person in any way interested. The existing directors shall
27 hold office until their successors are elected and qualify.
28 (2) (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of any charter
29 heretofore or hereafter issued, the number of directors,
30 not fewer than 5 nor more than 25, may be fixed from time
31 to time by the stockholders at any meeting of the
32 stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors
33 or changing the number thereof by the affirmative vote of
-31- LRB9000532JSsbB
1 at least two-thirds of the outstanding stock entitled to
2 vote at the meeting, and the number so fixed shall be the
3 board regardless of vacancies until the number of
4 directors is thereafter changed by similar action. At
5 least a majority of the directors must have resided in
6 the State of Illinois or within 100 miles of the main
7 banking premises for at least one year immediately
8 preceding their election and must be residents of the
9 State of Illinois or the territory within 100 miles of
10 the main banking premises during their continuance in
11 office. Any director who becomes disqualified shall
12 forthwith resign his office.
13 (b) Notwithstanding the minimum number of directors
14 specified in paragraph (a) of this subsection, a State
15 bank that has been in existence for 10 years or more and
16 has less than $20,000,000 in assets, as of the December
17 31 immediately preceding the annual meeting of
18 shareholders at which directors are elected, may, subject
19 to the approval of the Commissioner, have a minimum of 3
20 directors; provided that if a State bank has fewer than 5
21 directors, at least one director shall not be an officer
22 or employee of the bank. The Commissioner shall annually
23 review the appropriateness of the grant of authority to
24 have a reduced minimum number of directors pursuant to
25 this paragraph (b).
26 (3) Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph (3),
27 directors shall hold office until the next annual meeting of
28 the stockholders succeeding their election or until their
29 successors are elected and qualify. If the board of directors
30 consists of 6 or more members, in lieu of electing the
31 membership of the whole board of directors annually, the
32 charter or by-laws of a State bank may provide that the
33 directors shall be divided into either 2 or 3 classes, each
34 class to be as nearly equal in number as is possible. The
-32- LRB9000532JSsbB
1 term of office of directors of the first class shall expire
2 at the first annual meeting of the stockholders after their
3 election, that of the second class shall expire at the second
4 annual meeting after their election, and that of the third
5 class, if any, shall expire at the third annual meeting after
6 their election. At each annual meeting after classification,
7 the number of directors equal to the number of the class
8 whose terms expire at the time of the meeting shall be
9 elected to hold office until the second succeeding annual
10 meeting, if there be 2 classes, or until the third succeeding
11 annual meeting, if there be 3 classes. Vacancies may be
12 filled by stockholders at a special meeting called for the
13 purpose.
14 If authorized by the bank's by-laws or an amendment
15 thereto, the directors of a State bank may properly fill a
16 vacancy or vacancies arising between shareholders' meetings,
17 but at no time may the number of directors selected to fill a
18 vacancy in this manner during any interim period between
19 shareholders' meetings exceed 33 1/3% of the total membership
20 of the board of directors.
21 (4) The board of directors shall hold regular meetings
22 at least once each month, provided that, upon prior written
23 approval by the Commissioner, the board of directors may hold
24 regular meetings less frequently than once each month but at
25 least once each calendar quarter. A special meeting of the
26 board of directors may be held as provided by the by-laws. A
27 special meeting of the board of directors may also be held
28 upon call by the Commissioner or a bank examiner appointed
29 under the provisions of this Act upon not less than 12 hours
30 notice of the meeting by personal service of the notice or by
31 mailing the notice to each of the directors at his residence
32 as shown by the books of the bank. A majority of the board
33 of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of
34 business unless a greater number is required by the charter
-33- LRB9000532JSsbB
1 or the by-laws. The act of the majority of the directors
2 present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be
3 the act of the board of directors unless the act of a greater
4 number is required by the charter or by the by-laws.
5 (5) A member of the board of directors shall be elected
6 president. The board of directors may appoint other officers,
7 as the by-laws may provide, and fix their salaries to carry
8 on the business of the bank. The board of directors may make
9 and amend by-laws (not inconsistent with this Act) for the
10 government of the bank and may, by the affirmative vote of a
11 majority of the board of directors, establish reasonable
12 compensation of all directors for services to the corporation
13 as directors, officers, or otherwise. An officer, whether
14 elected or appointed by the board of directors or appointed
15 pursuant to the by-laws, may be removed by the board of
16 directors at any time.
17 (6) The board of directors shall cause suitable books
18 and records of all the bank's transactions to be kept.
19 (7) In discharging the duties of their respective
20 positions, the board of directors, committees of the board,
21 and individual directors may, in considering the best long
22 term and short term interests of the bank, consider the
23 effects of any action (including, without limitation, action
24 that may involve or relate to a merger or potential merger or
25 to a change or potential change in control of the bank) upon
26 employees, depositors, suppliers, and customers of the
27 corporation or its subsidiaries, communities in which the
28 main banking premises, branches, offices, or other
29 establishments of the bank or its subsidiaries are located,
30 and all pertinent factors.

2 Act and are otherwise within the limitations of that

30 or the amounts are secured by pledge of United States
31 government securities, a segregated deposit account, or
32 other security that would exempt a loan so secured by

7 has made such an examination. A person so appointed shall not
8 be a stockholder or officer or employee of any bank which
9 that person may be directed to examine, and shall have powers
10 to make a thorough examination into all the affairs of the
11 bank and in so doing to examine any of the officers or agents
12 or employees thereof on oath and shall make a full and
13 detailed report of the condition of the bank to the
14 Commissioner. In making the examination the examiners shall
15 include an examination of the affairs of all the affiliates
16 of the bank, as defined in subsection (b) of Section 35.2 of
17 this Act, as shall be necessary to disclose fully the
18 conditions of the affiliates, the relations between the bank
19 and the affiliates and the effect of those relations upon the
20 affairs of the bank, and in connection therewith shall have

24 regulatory authorities of other states to provide for
25 examination of State bank branches in those states, and the
26 Commissioner may accept reports of examinations of State bank

28 cooperative agreements may set forth the manner in which the
29 other state regulatory authorities may be compensated for
30 examinations prepared for and submitted to the Commissioner.
31 (b) After May 31, 1997, the Commissioner is authorized
32 to examine, as often as the Commissioner shall deem necessary
33 or proper, branches of out-of-state banks. The Commissioner
34 may establish and may assess fees to be paid to the
-47- LRB9000532JSsbB
1 Commissioner for examinations under this subsection (b). The
2 fees shall be borne by the out-of-state bank, unless the fees
3 are borne by the state regulatory authority that chartered
4 the out-of-state bank, as determined by a cooperative
5 agreement between the Commissioner and the state regulatory
6 authority that chartered the out-of-state bank.
7 (2.5) Whenever any State bank, any subsidiary or
8 affiliate of a State bank, or after May 31, 1997, any branch
9 of an out-of-state bank causes to be performed, by contract
10 or otherwise, any bank services for itself, whether on or off
11 its premises:
12 (a) that performance shall be subject to
13 examination by the Commissioner to the same extent as if
14 services were being performed by the bank or, after May
15 31, 1997, branch of the out-of-state bank itself on its
16 own premises; and
17 (b) the bank or, after May 31, 1997, branch of the
18 out-of-state bank shall notify the Commissioner of the
19 existence of a service relationship. The notification
20 shall be submitted with the first statement of condition
21 (as required by Section 47 of this Act) due after the
22 making of the service contract or the performance of the
23 service, whichever occurs first. The Commissioner shall
24 be notified of each subsequent contract in the same
25 manner.
26 For purposes of this subsection (2.5), the term "bank
27 services" means services such as sorting and posting of
28 checks and deposits, computation and posting of interest and
29 other credits and charges, preparation and mailing of checks,
30 statements, notices, and similar items, or any other
31 clerical, bookkeeping, accounting, statistical, or similar
32 functions performed for a State bank, including but not
33 limited to electronic data processing related to those bank
34 services.

2 expense of the examinations of State banks as provided in
3 this Act, shall to the extent of the amounts resulting from
4 the fees provided for in paragraphs (a), (a-2), and (b) of
5 this subsection (3) be assessed against and borne by the
6 State banks:
7 (a) Each bank shall pay to the Commissioner a Call
8 Report Fee which shall be paid in quarterly installments
9 equal to one-fourth of the sum of the annual fixed fee of
10 $800, plus a variable fee based on the assets shown on
11 the quarterly statement of condition delivered to the
12 Commissioner in accordance with Section 47 for the
13 preceding quarter according to the following schedule:
14 16¢ per $1,000 of the first $5,000,000 of total assets,
15 15¢ per $1,000 of the next $20,000,000 of total assets,
16 13¢ per $1,000 of the next $75,000,000 of total assets,
17 9¢ per $1,000 of the next $400,000,000 of total assets,
18 7¢ per $1,000 of the next $500,000,000 of total assets,
19 and 5¢ per $1,000 of all assets in excess of
20 $1,000,000,000, of the State bank. The Call Report Fee
21 shall be calculated by the Commissioner and billed to the
22 banks for remittance at the time of the quarterly
23 statements of condition provided for in Section 47. The
24 Commissioner may require payment of the fees provided in
25 this Section by an electronic transfer of funds or an
26 automatic debit of an account of each of the State banks.
27 In case more than one examination of any bank is deemed
28 by the Commissioner to be necessary in any examination
29 frequency cycle specified in subsection 2(a) of this
30 Section, fiscal year and is performed at his direction,
31 the Commissioner may assess a reasonable additional fee
32 to recover the cost of the additional examination, but
33 the additional fee shall not exceed the sum of the
34 remittances from the Call Report Fees applicable to the 4
-49- LRB9000532JSsbB
1 consecutive quarterly statements of condition immediately
2 preceding the date of the additional examination. In
3 lieu of the method and amounts set forth in this
4 paragraph (a) for the calculation of the Call Report Fee,
5 the Commissioner may specify by rule that the Call Report
6 Fees provided by this Section may be assessed
7 semiannually or some other period and may provide in the
8 rule the formula to be used for calculating and assessing
9 the periodic Call Report Fees to be paid by State banks.
10 (a-1) If in the opinion of the Commissioner an
11 emergency exists or appears likely, the Commissioner may
12 assign an examiner or examiners to monitor the affairs of
13 a State bank with whatever frequency he deems
14 appropriate, including but not limited to a daily basis.
15 The reasonable and necessary expenses of the Commissioner
16 during the period of the monitoring shall be borne by the
17 subject bank. The Commissioner shall furnish the State
18 bank a statement of time and expenses if requested to do
19 so within 30 days of the conclusion of the monitoring
20 period.
21 (a-2) On and after January 1, 1990, the reasonable
22 and necessary expenses of the Commissioner during
23 examination of the performance of electronic data
24 processing services under subsection (2.5) shall be borne
25 by the banks for which the services are provided. An
26 amount, based upon a fee structure prescribed by the
27 Commissioner, shall be paid by the banks or, after May
28 31, 1997, branches of out-of-state banks receiving the
29 electronic data processing services along with the Call
30 Report Fee assessed under paragraph (a) of this
31 subsection (3).
32 (a-3) After May 31, 1997, the reasonable and
33 necessary expenses of the Commissioner during examination
34 of the performance of electronic data processing services
-50- LRB9000532JSsbB
1 under subsection (2.5) at or on behalf of branches of
2 out-of-state banks shall be borne by the out-of-state
3 banks, unless those expenses are borne by the state
4 regulatory authorities that chartered the out-of-state
5 banks, as determined by cooperative agreements between
6 the Commissioner and the state regulatory authorities
7 that chartered the out-of-state banks.
8 (b) "Fiscal year" for purposes of this Section 48
9 is defined as a period beginning July 1 of any year and
10 ending June 30 of the next year. The Commissioner shall
11 receive for each fiscal year, commencing with the fiscal
12 year ending June 30, 1987, a contingent fee equal to the
13 lesser of the aggregate of the fees paid by all State
14 banks under paragraph (a) of subsection (3) for that
15 year, or the amount, if any, whereby the aggregate of the
16 administration expenses, as defined in paragraph (c), for
17 that fiscal year exceeds the sum of the aggregate of the
18 fees payable by all State banks for that year under
19 paragraph (a) of subsection (3), plus all other amounts
20 collected by the Commissioner for that year under any
21 other provision of this Act, plus the aggregate of all
22 fees collected for that year by the Commissioner under
23 the Corporate Fiduciary Act, excluding the receivership
24 fees provided for in Section 5-10 of the Corporate
25 Fiduciary Act, and the Foreign Banking Office Act. The
26 aggregate amount of the contingent fee thus arrived at
27 for any fiscal year shall be apportioned amongst,
28 assessed upon, and paid by the State banks and foreign
29 banking corporations, respectively, in the same
30 proportion that the fee of each under paragraph (a) of
31 subsection (3), respectively, for that year bears to the
32 aggregate for that year of the fees collected under
33 paragraph (a) of subsection (3). The aggregate amount of
34 the contingent fee, and the portion thereof to be
-51- LRB9000532JSsbB
1 assessed upon each State bank and foreign banking
2 corporation, respectively, shall be determined by the
3 Commissioner and shall be paid by each, respectively,
4 within 120 days of the close of the period for which the
5 contingent fee is computed and is payable, and the
6 Commissioner shall give 20 days advance notice of the
7 amount of the contingent fee payable by the State bank
8 and of the date fixed by the Commissioner for payment of
9 the fee.
10 (c) The "administration expenses" for any fiscal
11 year shall mean the ordinary and contingent expenses for
12 that year incident to making the examinations provided
13 for by, and for otherwise administering, this Act, the
14 Corporate Fiduciary Act, excluding the expenses paid from
15 the Corporate Fiduciary Receivership account in the Bank
16 and Trust Company Fund, the Foreign Banking Office Act,
17 the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, and the Illinois Bank
18 Examiners' Education Foundation Act, including all
19 salaries and other compensation paid for personal
20 services rendered for the State by officers or employees
21 of the State, including the Commissioner and the Deputy
22 Commissioners, all expenditures for telephone and
23 telegraph charges, postage and postal charges, office
24 stationery, supplies and services, and office furniture
25 and equipment, including typewriters and copying and
26 duplicating machines and filing equipment, surety bond
27 premiums, and travel expenses of those officers and
28 employees, employees, expenditures or charges for the
29 acquisition, enlargement or improvement of, or for the
30 use of, any office space, building, or structure, or
31 expenditures for the maintenance thereof or for
32 furnishing heat, light, or power with respect thereto,
33 all to the extent that those expenditures are directly
34 incidental to such examinations or administration. The
-52- LRB9000532JSsbB
1 Commissioner shall not be required by paragraphs (c) or
2 (d-1) of this subsection (3) to maintain in any fiscal
3 year's budget appropriated reserves for accrued vacation
4 and accrued sick leave that is required to be paid to
5 employees of the Commissioner upon termination of their
6 service with the Commissioner in an amount that is more
7 than is reasonably anticipated to be necessary for any
8 anticipated turnover in employees, whether due to normal
9 attrition or due to layoffs, terminations, or
10 resignations.
11 (d) The aggregate of all fees collected by the
12 Commissioner under this Act, the Corporate Fiduciary Act,
13 or the Foreign Banking Office Act on and after July 1,
14 1979, shall be paid promptly after receipt of the same,
15 accompanied by a detailed statement thereof, into the
16 State treasury and shall be set apart in a special fund
17 to be known as the "Bank and Trust Company Fund", except
18 as provided in paragraph (c) of subsection (11) of this
19 Section. The amount from time to time deposited into the
20 Bank and Trust Company Fund shall be used to offset the
21 ordinary administrative expenses of the Commissioner of
22 Banks and Real Estate as defined in this Section. Nothing
23 in this amendatory Act of 1979 shall prevent continuing
24 the practice of paying expenses involving salaries,
25 retirement, social security, and State-paid insurance
26 premiums of State officers by appropriations from the
27 General Revenue Fund. However, the General Revenue Fund
28 shall be reimbursed for those payments made on and after
29 July 1, 1979, by an annual transfer of funds from the
30 Bank and Trust Company Fund.
31 (d-1) Adequate funds shall be available in the Bank
32 and Trust Company Fund to permit the timely payment of
33 administration expenses. In each fiscal year the total
34 administration expenses shall be deducted from the total
-53- LRB9000532JSsbB
1 fees collected by the Commissioner and the remainder
2 transferred into the Cash Flow Reserve Account, unless
3 the balance of the Cash Flow Reserve Account prior to the
4 transfer equals or exceeds one-fourth of the total
5 initial appropriations from the Bank and Trust Company
6 Fund for the subsequent year, in which case the remainder
7 shall be credited to State banks and foreign banking
8 corporations and applied against their fees for the
9 subsequent year. The amount credited to each State bank
10 and foreign banking corporation shall be in the same
11 proportion as the Call Report Fees paid by each for the
12 year bear to the total Call Report Fees collected for the
13 year. If, after a transfer to the Cash Flow Reserve
14 Account is made or if no remainder is available for
15 transfer, the balance of the Cash Flow Reserve Account is
16 less than one-fourth of the total initial appropriations
17 for the subsequent year and the amount transferred is
18 less than 5% of the total Call Report Fees for the year,
19 additional amounts needed to make the transfer equal to
20 5% of the total Call Report Fees for the year shall be
21 apportioned amongst, assessed upon, and paid by the State
22 banks and foreign banking corporations in the same
23 proportion that the Call Report Fees of each,
24 respectively, for the year bear to the total Call Report
25 Fees collected for the year. The additional amounts
26 assessed shall be transferred into the Cash Flow Reserve
27 Account. For purposes of this paragraph (d-1), the
28 calculation of the fees collected by the Commissioner
29 shall exclude the receivership fees provided for in
30 Section 5-10 of the Corporate Fiduciary Act.
31 (e) The Commissioner may upon request certify to
32 any public record in his keeping and shall have authority
33 to levy a reasonable charge for issuing certifications of
34 any public record in his keeping.
-54- LRB9000532JSsbB
1 (f) In addition to fees authorized elsewhere in
2 this Act, the Commissioner may, in connection with a
3 review, approval, or provision of a service, levy a
4 reasonable charge to recover the cost of the review,
5 approval, or service.
6 (4) Nothing contained in this Act shall be construed to
7 limit the obligation relative to examinations and reports of
8 any State bank, deposits in which are to any extent insured
9 by the United States or any agency thereof, nor to limit in
10 any way the powers of the Commissioner with reference to
11 examinations and reports of that bank.
12 (5) The nature and condition of the assets in or
13 investment of any bonus, pension, or profit sharing plan for
14 officers or employees of every State bank or, after May 31,
15 1997, branch of an out-of-state bank shall be deemed to be
16 included in the affairs of that State bank or branch of an
17 out-of-state bank subject to examination by the Commissioner
18 under the provisions of subsection (2) of this Section, and
19 if the Commissioner shall find from an examination that the
20 condition of or operation of the investments or assets of the
21 plan is unlawful, fraudulent, or unsafe, or that any trustee
22 has abused his trust, the Commissioner shall, if the
23 situation so found by the Commissioner shall not be corrected
24 to his satisfaction within 60 days after the Commissioner has
25 given notice to the board of directors of the State bank or
26 out-of-state bank of his findings, report the facts to the
27 Attorney General who shall thereupon institute proceedings
28 against the State bank or out-of-state bank, the board of
29 directors thereof, or the trustees under such plan as the
30 nature of the case may require.
31 (6) The Commissioner shall have the power:
32 (a) To promulgate reasonable rules for the purpose
33 of administering the provisions of this Act.

-55- LRB9000532JSsbB

9 under oath, and to require the production of any relevant
10 books, papers, accounts, and documents in the course of
11 and pursuant to any investigation being conducted, or any
12 action being taken, by the Commissioner in respect of any
13 matter relating to the duties imposed upon, or the powers
14 vested in, the Commissioner under the provisions of this
15 Act or any rule promulgated in accordance with this Act.
16 (e) To conduct hearings.
17 (7) Whenever, in the opinion of the Commissioner, any
18 director, officer, employee, or agent of a State bank or,
19 after May 31, 1997, of any branch of an out-of-state bank
20 shall have violated any law, rule, or order relating to that
21 bank or shall have engaged in an unsafe or unsound practice
22 in conducting the business of that bank, the Commissioner may
23 issue an order of removal. If in the opinion of the
24 Commissioner any former director, officer, employee, or agent
25 of a State bank violated any law, rule, or order relating to
26 that State bank or engaged in an unsafe or unsound practice
27 in conducting the business of that bank prior to the
28 termination of his or her service with that bank, the

16 or agent of that bank. The order and the findings of fact
17 upon which it is based shall not be made public or disclosed
18 to anyone except the director, officer, employee, or agent
19 involved and the directors of the bank involved, otherwise
20 than in connection with proceedings for a violation of or

27 Commissioner 90 days prior to its implementation. Any

13 Sec. 4-8. Default Gross delinquency rate; examination.
14 (a) The Commissioner shall obtain from the U.S.
15 Department of Housing and Urban Development on a semi-annual
16 basis that Department's default claim rates for endorsements
17 issued by that Department. The gross delinquency rate of each
18 licensee shall be determined annually by the Commissioner.
19 The gross delinquency rate shall be the figure used by the
20 Commissioner to monitor the delinquency performance of
21 licensees dealing in mortgages.
22 (b) The Commissioner shall conduct an examination of
23 each licensee having a default gross delinquency rate equal
24 to or greater than 5% the product of (1) the average gross
25 delinquency rate of all licensees for the immediately
26 preceding calendar year, as determined by the Commissioner
27 under subsection (a) and (2) the delinquency rate factor as
28 set by rule of the Commissioner.
29 (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (b), a
30 licensee with an annual gross delinquency rate that is less
31 than or equal to 5% for the immediately preceding calendar
32 year shall not be examined by the Commissioner for that
33 calendar year. This subsection shall not be construed as a
-106- LRB9000532JSsbB
1 limitation of the Commissioner's examination authority under
2 Section 4-2 of this Act or as otherwise provided in this Act.
3 The Commissioner may require a licensee to provide loan
4 default data as the Commissioner deems necessary for the
5 proper enforcement of the Act.
6 (c) (d) The purpose of the examination under subsection
7 (b) shall be to determine whether the default gross
8 delinquency rate of the licensee has resulted from practices
9 which deviate from sound and accepted mortgage underwriting
10 practices, including but not limited to credit fraud,
11 appraisal fraud and property inspection fraud. For the
12 purpose of conducting this examination, the Commissioner may
13 accept materials prepared for the U.S. Department of Housing
14 and Urban Development. At the conclusion of the examination,
15 the Commissioner shall make his or her findings available to
16 the Residential Mortgage Board.
17 (d) (e) The Commissioner, at his or her discretion, may
18 hold public hearings, or at the direction of the Residential
19 Mortgage Board, shall hold public hearings. Such testimony
20 shall be by a homeowner or mortgagor or his agent, whose
21 residential interest is affected by the activities of the
22 residential mortgage licensee subject to such hearing. At
23 such public hearing, a witness may present testimony on his
24 or her behalf concerning only his or her home, or home
25 mortgage or a witness may authorize a third party to appear
26 on his or her behalf. The testimony shall be restricted to
27 information and comments related to a specific residence or
28 specific residential mortgage application or applications for
29 a residential mortgage or residential loan transaction. The
30 testimony must be preceded by either a letter of complaint or
31 a completed consumer complaint form prescribed by the
32 Commissioner.
33 (e) (f) The Commissioner shall, at the conclusion of the
34 public hearings, release his or her findings and shall also
-107- LRB9000532JSsbB
1 make public any action taken with respect to the licensee.
2 The Commissioner shall also give full consideration to the
3 findings of this examination whenever reapplication is made
4 by the licensee for a new license under this Act.
5 (f) (g) A licensee that is examined pursuant to
6 subsection (b) shall submit to the Commissioner a plan which
7 shall be designed to reduce that licensee's default gross
8 delinquency rate to a figure that is less than 5% or equal to
9 the average gross delinquency rate for all licensees for the
10 calendar year for which the delinquency data was submitted.
11 The plan shall be implemented by the licensee as approved by
12 the Commissioner. A licensee that is examined pursuant to
13 subsection (b) shall report monthly, for a one year period,
14 one, 2, and 3 month defaults delinquencies.
15 (g) (h) Whenever the Commissioner finds that a
16 licensee's default gross delinquency rate on insured
17 mortgages is unusually high within a particular geographic
18 area, he or she shall require that licensee to submit such
19 information as is necessary to determine whether that
20 licensee's practices have constituted credit fraud, appraisal
21 fraud or property inspection fraud. The Commissioner shall
22 promulgate such rules as are necessary to determine whether
23 any licensee's default gross delinquency rate is unusually
24 high within a particular area.
