          Amends  the  Adverse  Claims  to  Deposit  Accounts  Act.
      Requires a financial  institution  to  recognize  an  adverse
      claim  to  a  deposit account if ordered to do so by a court.
      Provides that a financial institution may, in its discretion,
      recognize an adverse claim if the  person  making  the  claim

      if a bond is posted.  Effective immediately.
