          Amends the Illinois Banking Act to prohibit a  change  in
      control if the persons seeking control would, after obtaining
      control,  control 30% or more of the deposits located in this
      State. Provides that no state or  national  bank  whose  main
      banking  premises are located in another state may merge into

      of  1957  to  restrict  mergers with Illinois banks that have
      operated for 5 years or less and are controlled by an out  of
      State  bank.  Prohibits  combinations  that  would  result in
      control of 30% or more of the deposits in Illinois. Effective

 3        Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,
 4    represented in the General Assembly:
 5        Section  5.  The  Illinois  Banking  Act  is  amended  by
 6    changing Section 18 and adding  Sections  21.2  and  21.3  as
 7    follows:
 8        (205 ILCS 5/18) (from Ch. 17, par. 325)
 9        Sec. 18.  Change in control.
10        (a)  Before  a  change  may  occur  in  the  ownership of
11    outstanding stock of any State  bank,  whether  by  sale  and
12    purchase,  gift,  bequest or inheritance, or any other means,
13    including the acquisition of stock of the State bank  by  any
14    bank  holding  company,   which  will  result in control or a
15    change in the control of the bank or before a change  in  the
16    control   of   a   holding  company  having  control  of  the
17    outstanding stock  of  a  State  bank  whether  by  sale  and
18    purchase,  gift,  bequest or inheritance, or any other means,
19    including the acquisition of stock of such holding company by
20    any other bank holding company, which will result in  control
21    or  a  change  in  control of the bank or holding company, or
22    before  a  transfer  of  substantially  all  the  assets   or
23    liabilities  of  the State bank, the Commissioner shall be of
24    the opinion and find:
25             (1)  that the  general  character  of  its  proposed
26        management,  after  the  change in control, is such as to
27        assure reasonable promise of successful, safe  and  sound
28        operation;
29             (1.1)  that   depositors'   interests  will  not  be
30        jeopardized  by  the  purchase  or  assumption  and  that
31        adequate provision has been made for all  liabilities  as
                            -2-                LRB9005184JSgc
 1        required  for a voluntary liquidation under Section 68 of
 2        this Act;
 3             (2)  that the future earnings prospects,  after  the
 4        proposed change in control, are favorable;
 5             (3)  that  any  prior  involvement  by  the  persons
 6        proposing  to  obtain  control, to purchase substantially
 7        all the  assets,  or  to  assume  substantially  all  the
 8        liabilities   of  the  State  bank  or  by  the  proposed
 9        management   personnel   with   any    other    financial
10        institution, whether as stockholder, director, officer or
11        customer, was conducted in a safe and sound manner; and
12             (4)  that if the acquisition is being made by a bank
13        holding  company, the acquisition is authorized under the
14        Illinois Bank Holding Company Act of 1957.
15        (b)  Persons desiring to purchase control of an  existing
16    state  bank,  to purchase substantially all the assets, or to
17    assume substantially all the liabilities of  the  State  bank
18    shall, prior to that purchase, submit to the Commissioner:
19             (1)  a statement of financial worth;
20             (2)  satisfactory    evidence    that    any   prior
21        involvement by the persons and  the  proposed  management
22        personnel  with  any other financial institution, whether
23        as  stockholder,  director,  officer  or  customer,   was
24        conducted in a safe and sound manner; and
25             (3)  such   other   relevant   information   as  the
26        Commissioner may request  to  substantiate  the  findings
27        under subsection (a) of this Section.
28        As  used  in  this  Section, the term "control" means the
29    ownership of such amount of stock or ability  to  direct  the
30    voting  of  such  stock  as  to  give  power  to, directly or
31    indirectly, direct or cause the direction of  the  management
32    or  policies  of  the  bank.   A change in ownership of stock
33    which would result in  direct  or  indirect  ownership  by  a
34    stockholder, an affiliated group of stockholders or a holding
                            -3-                LRB9005184JSgc
 1    company  of  less  than  10  percent of the outstanding stock
 2    shall not be considered a change of  control.   A  change  in
 3    ownership  of  stock which would result in direct or indirect
 4    ownership  by  a  stockholder,   an   affiliated   group   of
 5    stockholders  or  a  holding  company  of  20 percent or such
 6    lesser amount which would  entitle  the  holder  by  applying
 7    cumulative  voting to elect one director shall be presumed to
 8    constitute a change of control for purposes of  this  Section
 9    18.   If  there  is  any  doubt as to whether a change in the
10    ownership or control of the outstanding stock  is  sufficient
11    to  result in obtaining control thereof or to effect a change
12    in the control thereof, such doubt shall be resolved in favor
13    of reporting the facts to the Commissioner.
14        As used in this Section, "substantially all"  the  assets
15    or  liabilities  of  a  State  bank means that portion of the
16    assets or  liabilities  of  a  State  bank  such  that  their
17    purchase  or  transfer  will materially impair the ability of
18    the State  bank  to  continue  successful,  safe,  and  sound
19    operations  or  to continue as a going concern or would cause
20    the bank to lose its federal deposit insurance.
21        (b-1)  Any person who obtains ownership of  stock  of  an
22    existing  State  bank  or  stock  of  a  holding company that
23    controls the State bank by gift, bequest, or inheritance such
24    that ownership of the stock would constitute control  of  the
25    State  bank or holding company may obtain title and ownership
26    of the stock, but may not exercise management or  control  of
27    the  business  and  affairs  of  the  bank or vote his or her
28    shares so as to exercise management  or  control  unless  and
29    until the Commissioner approves an application for the change
30    of control as provided in subsection (b) of this Section.
31        (c)  Whenever  a  state  bank  makes  a  loan  or  loans,
32    secured,  or to be secured, by 25% or more of the outstanding
33    stock of a state bank, the president or other chief executive
34    officer of the lending bank shall promptly report  such  fact
                            -4-                LRB9005184JSgc
 1    to  the Commissioner upon obtaining knowledge of such loan or
 2    loans, except that no report need  be  made  in  those  cases
 3    where  the borrower has been the owner of record of the stock
 4    for a period of one year or more, or the stock is that  of  a
 5    newly organized bank prior to its opening.
 6        (d)  The  reports  required by subsections (b) and (c) of
 7    this Section 18, other than those relating to a  transfer  of
 8    assets  or  assumption  of  liabilities,  shall  contain  the
 9    following  information  to the extent that it is known by the
10    person making the report: (1) the number of shares  involved;

18    case  of  a loan, the name of the borrower, the amount of the
19    loan, the name of the bank issuing  the  stock  securing  the
20    loan and the number of shares securing the loan.  In addition
21    to  the  foregoing,  such  reports  shall  contain such other
22    information which is requested by the Commissioner to  inform
23    the  Commissioner  of  the  effect  of  the  transaction upon
24    control of the bank whose stock is involved.
25        (d-1)  The reports required by  subsection  (b)  of  this
26    Section  18  that relate to purchase of assets and assumption
27    of liabilities shall contain the following information to the
28    extent that it is known by the person making the report:  (1)
29    the value, amount, and description of the assets transferred;
30    (2) the amount, type, and to whom each  type  of  liabilities
31    are  owed;  (3) the names of the purchasers (or transferees);
32    (4) the names of the beneficial owners if  the  shares  of  a
33    purchaser  or  transferee are registered in another name; (5)

 5    requested by the Commissioner to inform the  Commissioner  of

 7    are purchased or liabilities are transferred.
 8        (e)  Whenever  such  a  change as described in subsection
 9    (a) of this Section 18 occurs, each state bank  shall  report
10    promptly  to  the  Commissioner any changes or replacement of
11    its chief executive officer or of any director  occurring  in
12    the next 12 month period, including in its report a statement
13    of   the   past   and   current   business  and  professional
14    affiliations of the new chief executive officer or directors.
15        (f)  (Blank).
16        (g) (1)  Except as otherwise expressly provided  in  this
17        subsection  (g),  the  Commissioners shall not approve an
18        application for a change in control if upon  consummation
19        of  the  change  in  control the persons applying for the
20        change  in  control,  including  any  affiliates  of  the
21        persons applying, would control 30% or more of the  total
22        amount  of  deposits  which  are located in this State at
23        insured depository institutions.  For  purposes  of  this
24        subsection    (g),    the   words   "insured   depository
