 1        AN ACT in relation to financial regulation.

 2        Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,
 3    represented in the General Assembly:

 4        Section  5.  The  Illinois  Banking  Act  is  amended  by
 5    changing Sections 16, 32, 46, 48, and 48.1 as follows:

 6        (205 ILCS 5/16) (from Ch. 17, par. 323)
 7        Sec. 16. Directors. The business and affairs of  a  State
 8    bank  shall  be  managed by its board of directors that shall
 9    exercise its powers as follows:
10        (1)  Directors shall be elected as provided in this  Act.
11    Any  omission  to  elect  a  director  or directors shall not
12    impair any of the rights and privileges of the bank or of any
13    person in any way interested. The  existing  directors  shall
14    hold office until their successors are elected and qualify.
15        (2) (a)  Notwithstanding  the  provisions  of any charter
16        heretofore or hereafter issued, the number of  directors,
17        not fewer than 5 nor more than 25, may be fixed from time
18        to  time  by  the  stockholders  at  any  meeting  of the
19        stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors
20        or changing the number thereof by the affirmative vote of
21        at least two-thirds of the outstanding stock entitled  to
22        vote at the meeting, and the number so fixed shall be the
23        board   regardless  of  vacancies  until  the  number  of
24        directors is thereafter changed by similar action.
25             (b)  Notwithstanding the minimum number of directors
26        specified in paragraph (a) of this  subsection,  a  State
27        bank  that has been in existence for 10 years or more and
28        has less than $20,000,000 in assets, as of  the  December
29        31   immediately   preceding   the   annual   meeting  of
30        shareholders at which directors are elected, may, subject
31        to the approval of the Commissioner, have a minimum of  3
 
SB119 Engrossed             -2-                LRB9204827JSpc
 1        directors; provided that if a State bank has fewer than 5
 2        directors,  at least one director shall not be an officer
 3        or employee of the bank. The Commissioner shall  annually
 4        review  the  appropriateness of the grant of authority to
 5        have a reduced minimum number of  directors  pursuant  to
 6        this paragraph (b).
 7        (3)  Except  as otherwise provided in this paragraph (3),
 8    directors shall hold office until the next annual meeting  of
 9    the  stockholders  succeeding  their  election or until their
10    successors are elected and qualify. If the board of directors
11    consists of 6 or  more  members,  in  lieu  of  electing  the
12    membership  of  the  whole  board  of directors annually, the
13    charter or by-laws of a  State  bank  may  provide  that  the
14    directors  shall  be divided into either 2 or 3 classes, each
15    class to be as nearly equal in number  as  is  possible.  The
16    term  of  office of directors of the first class shall expire
17    at the first annual meeting of the stockholders  after  their
18    election, that of the second class shall expire at the second
19    annual  meeting  after  their election, and that of the third
20    class, if any, shall expire at the third annual meeting after
21    their election. At each annual meeting after  classification,
22    the  number  of  directors  equal  to the number of the class
23    whose terms expire at  the  time  of  the  meeting  shall  be
24    elected  to  hold  office  until the second succeeding annual
25    meeting, if there be 2 classes, or until the third succeeding
26    annual meeting, if there  be  3  classes.  Vacancies  may  be
27    filled  by  stockholders  at a special meeting called for the
28    purpose.
29        If authorized by  the  bank's  by-laws  or  an  amendment
30    thereto,  the  directors  of a State bank may properly fill a
31    vacancy or vacancies arising between shareholders'  meetings,
32    but at no time may the number of directors selected to fill a
33    vacancy  in  this  manner  during  any interim period between
34    shareholders' meetings exceed 33 1/3% of the total membership
 
SB119 Engrossed             -3-                LRB9204827JSpc
 1    of the board of directors.
 2        (4)  The board of directors shall hold  regular  meetings
 3    at  least  once each month, provided that, upon prior written
 4    approval by the Commissioner, the board of directors may hold
 5    regular meetings less frequently than once each month but  at
 6    least  once  each calendar quarter.  A special meeting of the
 7    board of directors may be held as provided by the by-laws.  A
 8    special meeting of the board of directors may  also  be  held
 9    upon  call  by  the Commissioner or a bank examiner appointed
10    under the provisions of this Act upon not less than 12  hours
11    notice of the meeting by personal service of the notice or by
12    mailing  the notice to each of the directors at his residence
13    as shown by the books of the bank.  A majority of  the  board
14    of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of
15    business  unless  a greater number is required by the charter
16    or the by-laws.  The act of the  majority  of  the  directors
17    present  at  a  meeting at which a quorum is present shall be
18    the act of the board of directors unless the act of a greater
19    number is required by the charter or by the by-laws.
20        (5)  A member of the board of directors shall be  elected
21    president. The board of directors may appoint other officers,
22    as  the  by-laws may provide, and fix their salaries to carry
23    on the business of the bank.  The board of directors may make
24    and amend by-laws (not inconsistent with this  Act)  for  the
25    government  of the bank and may, by the affirmative vote of a
26    majority of the  board  of  directors,  establish  reasonable
27    compensation of all directors for services to the corporation
28    as  directors,  officers,  or otherwise.  An officer, whether
29    elected or appointed by the board of directors  or  appointed
30    pursuant  to  the  by-laws,  may  be  removed by the board of
31    directors at any time.
32        (6)  The board of directors shall  cause  suitable  books
33    and records of all the bank's transactions to be kept.
34        (7) (a)  In  discharging  the  duties of their respective
 
SB119 Engrossed             -4-                LRB9204827JSpc
 1        positions, the board  of  directors,  committees  of  the
 2        board,  and  individual directors may, in considering the
 3        best long term and short  term  interests  of  the  bank,
 4        consider  the  effects  of any action (including, without
 5        limitation, action that may involve or relate to a merger
 6        or potential merger or to a change or potential change in
 7        control  of  the  bank)   upon   employees,   depositors,
 8        suppliers,  and  customers  of  the  corporation  or  its
 9        subsidiaries,  communities  in  which  the  main  banking
10        premises,  branches,  offices, or other establishments of
11        the  bank  or  its  subsidiaries  are  located,  and  all
12        pertinent factors.
13             (b)  In discharging the duties of  their  respective
14        positions,  the  board  of  directors,  committees of the
15        board, and individual directors shall be entitled to rely
16        on advice, information, opinions, reports or  statements,
17        including   financial   statements  and  financial  data,
18        prepared or presented by: (i) one  or  more  officers  or
19        employees  of  the  bank whom the director believes to be
20        reliable and competent in the matter presented; (ii)  one
21        or more counsels, accountants, or other consultants as to
22        matters  that  the  director  believes  to be within that
23        person's professional or expert competence;  or  (iii)  a
24        committee  of  the board upon which the director does not
25        serve, as to matters within that  committee's  designated
26        authority.

28        (205 ILCS 5/32) (from Ch. 17, par. 339)
29        Sec.   32.   Basic   loaning   limits.   The  liabilities
30    outstanding at one time to a state bank of a person for money
31    borrowed, including the liabilities of a partnership or joint
32    venture in the liabilities of the  several  members  thereof,
33    shall  not  exceed  25%  20%  of the amount of the unimpaired

 1    capital and unimpaired surplus of the bank.
 2        The liabilities to any state bank of a person may  exceed
 3    25%  20%  of the unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus of
 4    the bank, provided that (i) the excess amount  from  time  to
 5    time  outstanding  is  fully  secured  by  readily marketable
 6    collateral having a market value, as determined  by  reliable
 7    and  continuously available quotations, at least equal to the
 8    excess amount outstanding; and  (ii)  the  total  liabilities
 9    shall not exceed 30% of the unimpaired capital and unimpaired
10    surplus of the bank.
11        The  following  shall not be considered as money borrowed
12    within the meaning of this Section:
13             (1)  The  purchase  or  of  discount  of  bills   of
14        exchange  drawn  in  good faith against actually existing
15        values.
16             (2)  The  purchase  or  discount  of  commercial  or
17        business paper actually owned by the  person  negotiating
18        the same.
19             (3)  The  purchase  of  or loaning money in exchange
20        for evidences of indebtedness which shall be  secured  by
21        mortgage  or  trust  deed upon productive real estate the
22        value of which, as ascertained by the oath of 2 qualified
23        appraisers,  neither  of  whom  shall  be   an   officer,
24        director, or employee of the bank or of any subsidiary or
25        affiliate  of  the  bank,  is  double  the  amount of the
26        principal debt  secured  at  the  time  of  the  original
27        purchase of evidence of indebtedness or loan of money and
28        which  is  still  double the amount of the principal debt
29        secured at the time of any renewal of the indebtedness or
30        loan, and which mortgage or trust deed is  shown,  either
31        by a guaranty policy of a title guaranty company approved
32        by  the  Commissioner  or by a registrar's certificate of
33        title in any county having adopted the provisions of  the
34        Registered  Titles (Torrens) Act, or by the opinion of an
 
SB119 Engrossed             -6-                LRB9204827JSpc
 1        attorney-at-law, to be a first lien upon the real  estate
 2        therein described, and real estate shall not be deemed to
 3        be  encumbered  within the meaning of this subsection (3)
 4        by reason  of  the  existence  of  instruments  reserving
 5        rights-of-way, sewer rights and rights in wells, building
 6        restrictions  or  other  restrictive  covenants,  nor  by
 7        reason  of  the  fact  it is subject to lease under which
 8        rents or profits are reserved by the owners.
 9             (4)  The   purchase   of    marketable    investment
10        securities.
11             (5)  The  liability  to a state bank of a person who
12        is an accommodation party to,  or  guarantor  of  payment
13        for,  any  evidence of indebtedness of another person who
14        obtains a loan from or  discounts  paper  with  or  sells
15        paper  to  the  state  bank; but the total liability to a
16        state bank of a  person  as  an  accommodation  party  or
17        guarantor  of  payment  in  respect  of such evidences of
18        indebtedness shall not exceed 20% of the  amount  of  the
19        unimpaired  capital  and  unimpaired surplus of the bank;
20        provided however that the liability of  an  accommodation
21        party  to  paper  excepted  under  subsection  2  of this
22        Section shall not be included in the computation of  this
23        limitation.
24             (6)  The  liability to a state bank of a person, who
25        as a guarantor, guarantees collection of  the  obligation
26        or indebtedness of another person.
27        The  total  liabilities  of  any  one  person,  for money
28    borrowed, or otherwise, shall not exceed 25% of the  deposits
29    of  the  bank,  and  those total liabilities shall at no time
30    exceed 50% of  the  amount  of  the  unimpaired  capital  and
31    unimpaired  surplus  of the bank. Absent an actual unremedied
32    breach,  the  obligation  or  responsibility  for  breach  of
33    warranties or  representations,  express  or  implied,  of  a
34    person  transferring  negotiable or non-negotiable paper to a
 
SB119 Engrossed             -7-                LRB9204827JSpc
 1    bank without recourse and without guaranty of payment,  shall
 2    not  be  included in determining the amount of liabilities of
 3    the person to the bank for borrowed money or  otherwise;  and
 4    in  the  event  of and to the extent of an unremedied breach,
 5    the amount remaining unpaid for principal and interest on the
 6    paper in respect of which the unremedied breach exists  shall
 7    thereafter  for the purpose of determining whether subsequent
 8    transactions giving  rise  to  additional  liability  of  the
 9    person  to the state bank for borrowed money or otherwise are
10    within the limitations of Sections 32 through 34 of this Act,
11    be included in computing the amount  of  liabilities  of  the
12    person for borrowed money or otherwise.
13        The  liability  of a person to a state bank on account of
14    acceptances made or issued by the state bank on behalf of the
15    person shall be included in  the  computation  of  the  total
16    liabilities  of  the  person for money borrowed except to the
17    extent the  acceptances  grow  out  of  transactions  of  the
18    character  described  in subsection (6) of Section 34 of this
19    Act  and  are  otherwise  within  the  limitations  of   that
20    subsection;  provided  nevertheless  that  any  such excepted
21    acceptances acquired by the state  bank  which  accepted  the
22    same  shall be included in the computation of the liabilities
23    of the person to the state bank for money borrowed.

25        (205 ILCS 5/46) (from Ch. 17, par. 357)
26        Sec.  46.  Misleading  practices  and  names  prohibited;
27    penalty.
28        (a)  No person, firm, partnership, or corporation that is
29    not a bank shall transact business in this State in a  manner
30    which  has  a substantial likelihood of misleading the public
31    by implying that the business is a bank,  or  shall  use  the
32    word  "bank",  "banker",  or "banking" in connection with the
33    business.  Any  person,  firm,  partnership  or   corporation
 
SB119 Engrossed             -8-                LRB9204827JSpc
 1    violating  this  Section  shall be deemed guilty of a Class A
 2    misdemeanor, and the Attorney General or State's Attorney  of
 3    the  county  in  which any such violation occurs may restrain
 4    such violation by a complaint for injunctive relief.
 5        (b)  If the Commissioner is of the opinion and finds that
 6    a person, firm, partnership, or corporation  that  is  not  a
 7    bank  has  transacted or intends to transact business in this
 8    State in a manner  which  has  a  substantial  likelihood  of
 9    misleading  the  public  by  implying  that the business is a
10    bank, or  has  used  or  intends  to  use  the  word  "bank",
11    "banker",  or "banking" in connection with the business, then
12    the Commissioner may direct that person,  firm,  partnership,
13    or  corporation  to  cease  and  desist  from transacting the
14    business or using the word "bank",  "banker",  or  "banking".
15    If that person, firm, partnership, or corporation persists in
16    transacting  the business or using the word "bank", "banker",
17    or "banking",  then  the  Commissioner  may  impose  a  civil
18    penalty  of  up to $10,000 for each violation.  Each day that
19    the  person,  firm,  partnership,  or  corporation  continues
20    transacting the business or using the word "bank",  "banker",
21    or "banking" in connection with the business shall constitute
22    a separate violation of these provisions.
23        (c)  A  person, firm, partnership, or corporation that is
24    not a bank, and is not transacting or intending  to  transact
25    business  in  this  State  in a manner that has a substantial
26    likelihood of misleading the public  by  implying  that  such
27    business  is  a  bank,  may  apply  to  the  Commissioner for
28    permission to use the word "bank", "banker", or "banking"  in
29    connection with the business.  If the Commissioner determines
30    that  there  is  no  substantial likelihood of misleading the
31    public, and upon such  conditions  as  the  Commissioner  may
32    impose   to   prevent   the  person,  firm,  partnership,  or
33    corporation from holding itself out in a  misleading  manner,
34    then  such  person, firm, partnership, or corporation may use
 
SB119 Engrossed             -9-                LRB9204827JSpc
 1    the word "bank", "banker", or "banking".
 2             (d) (1)  No   person,    firm,    partnership,    or
 3        corporation  may  use  the name of an existing bank, or a
 4        name deceptively similar to that  of  an  existing  bank,
 5        when   sending,  transmitting,  or  otherwise  delivering
 6        marketing  material  or  solicitations  to  customers  or
 7        prospective customers if the reference  to  the  existing
 8        bank is made (i) without the consent of the existing bank
 9        and (ii) in a manner that could cause a reasonable person
10        to  believe  that  the marketing material or solicitation
11        originated from or is endorsed by the  existing  bank  or
12        that  the  existing  bank is in any other way responsible
13        for the marketing material or solicitation.
14             (2)  An existing bank may, in addition to any  other
15        remedies  available  under  the  law,  report  an alleged
16        violation of this subsection (d) to the Commissioner.  If
17        the  Commissioner  finds  the   marketing   material   or
18        solicitation  in  question  to  be  in  violation of this
19        subsection, the Commissioner may direct the person, firm,
20        partnership, or corporation  to  cease  and  desist  from
21        using   that   marketing   material  or  solicitation  in
22        Illinois.   If  that  person,   firm,   partnership,   or
23        corporation persists in the use of the marketing material
24        or solicitation, then the Commissioner may impose a civil
25        penalty  of  up  to  $10,000  for  each  violation.  Each
26        instance in which the marketing material or  solicitation
27        is  sent  to  a  customer  or  prospective customer shall
28        constitute a separate violation of these provisions.
29             (3)  Nothing in this subsection  (d)  prohibits  the
30        use  of  or  reference to the name of an existing bank in
31        marketing materials or solicitations, provided  that  the
32        use   or   reference  would  not  deceive  or  confuse  a
33        reasonable  person  regarding   whether   the   marketing
34        material  or solicitation originated from or was endorsed
 
SB119 Engrossed             -10-               LRB9204827JSpc
 1        by the existing bank or whether the existing bank was  in
 2        any  other  way responsible for the marketing material or
 3        solicitation.   The   Commissioner   is   authorized   to
 4        promulgate rules to administer these provisions.

 6        (205 ILCS 5/48) (from Ch. 17, par. 359)
 7        Sec. 48. Commissioner's powers; duties.  The Commissioner
 8    shall  have the powers and authority, and is charged with the
 9    duties and responsibilities designated in  this  Act,  and  a
10    State bank shall not be subject to any other visitorial power
11    other  than as authorized by this Act, except those vested in
12    the courts, or upon prior consultation with the Commissioner,
13    a foreign bank  regulator  with  an  appropriate  supervisory
14    interest  in the parent or affiliate of a state bank.  In the
15    performance of the Commissioner's duties:
16        (1)  The Commissioner shall call for statements from  all
17    State  banks  as  provided  in  Section  47 at least one time
18    during each calendar quarter.
19        (2) (a)  The Commissioner, as often as  the  Commissioner
20    shall  deem  necessary or proper, and no less frequently than
21    18 months following the preceding examination, shall  appoint
22    a  suitable  person  or persons to make an examination of the
23    affairs of every State bank, except that for  every  eligible
24    State  bank,  as  defined  by regulation, the Commissioner in
25    lieu of the examination may accept on  an  alternating  basis
26    the examination made by the eligible State bank's appropriate
27    federal banking agency pursuant to Section 111 of the Federal
28    Deposit   Insurance  Corporation  Improvement  Act  of  1991,
29    provided the appropriate federal banking agency has made such
30    an examination.   A  person  so  appointed  shall  not  be  a
31    stockholder  or  officer  or  employee of any bank which that
32    person may be directed to examine, and shall have  powers  to
33    make  a thorough examination into all the affairs of the bank
 
SB119 Engrossed             -11-               LRB9204827JSpc
 1    and in so doing to examine any of the officers or  agents  or
 2    employees  thereof on oath and shall make a full and detailed
 3    report of the condition of the bank to the Commissioner.   In
 4    making   the  examination  the  examiners  shall  include  an
 5    examination of the affairs of all the affiliates of the bank,
 6    as defined in subsection (b) of Section 35.2 of this Act,  as
 7    shall  be  necessary  to disclose fully the conditions of the
 8    affiliates, the relations between the bank and the affiliates
 9    and the effect of those relations upon  the  affairs  of  the
10    bank, and in connection therewith shall have power to examine
11    any  of  the officers, directors, agents, or employees of the
12    affiliates on oath.  After May 31, 1997, the Commissioner may
13    enter  into  cooperative  agreements  with  state  regulatory
14    authorities of other states to  provide  for  examination  of
15    State bank branches in those states, and the Commissioner may
16    accept  reports  of  examinations of State bank branches from
17    those  state  regulatory  authorities.    These   cooperative
18    agreements  may set forth the manner in which the other state
19    regulatory authorities may be  compensated  for  examinations
20    prepared for and submitted to the Commissioner.
21        (b)  After  May  31, 1997, the Commissioner is authorized
22    to examine, as often as the Commissioner shall deem necessary
23    or proper, branches of out-of-state banks.  The  Commissioner
24    may  establish  and  may  assess  fees  to  be  paid  to  the
25    Commissioner for examinations under this subsection (b).  The
26    fees shall be borne by the out-of-state bank, unless the fees
27    are  borne  by  the state regulatory authority that chartered
28    the  out-of-state  bank,  as  determined  by  a   cooperative
29    agreement  between  the Commissioner and the state regulatory
30    authority that chartered the out-of-state bank.
31        (2.5)  Whenever  any  State  bank,  any   subsidiary   or
32    affiliate  of a State bank, or after May 31, 1997, any branch
33    of an out-of-state bank causes to be performed,  by  contract
34    or otherwise, any bank services for itself, whether on or off
 
SB119 Engrossed             -12-               LRB9204827JSpc
 1    its premises:
 2             (a)  that    performance   shall   be   subject   to
 3        examination by the Commissioner to the same extent as  if
 4        services  were  being performed by the bank or, after May
 5        31, 1997, branch of the out-of-state bank itself  on  its
 6        own premises; and
 7             (b)  the  bank or, after May 31, 1997, branch of the
 8        out-of-state bank shall notify the  Commissioner  of  the
 9        existence  of  a  service relationship.  The notification
10        shall be submitted with the first statement of  condition
11        (as  required  by  Section  47 of this Act) due after the
12        making of the service contract or the performance of  the
13        service,  whichever occurs first.  The Commissioner shall
14        be notified of  each  subsequent  contract  in  the  same
15        manner.
16        For  purposes  of  this  subsection (2.5), the term "bank
17    services" means services  such  as  sorting  and  posting  of
18    checks  and deposits, computation and posting of interest and
19    other credits and charges, preparation and mailing of checks,
20    statements,  notices,  and  similar  items,  or   any   other
21    clerical,  bookkeeping,  accounting,  statistical, or similar
22    functions performed for  a  State  bank,  including  but  not
23    limited  to  electronic data processing related to those bank
24    services.
25        (3)  The expense of administering this Act, including the
26    expense of the examinations of State  banks  as  provided  in
27    this  Act,  shall to the extent of the amounts resulting from
28    the fees provided for in paragraphs (a), (a-2),  and  (b)  of
29    this  subsection  (3)  be  assessed  against and borne by the
30    State banks:
31             (a)  Each bank shall pay to the Commissioner a  Call
32        Report  Fee which shall be paid in quarterly installments
33        equal to one-fourth of the sum of the annual fixed fee of
34        $800, plus a variable fee based on the  assets  shown  on
 
SB119 Engrossed             -13-               LRB9204827JSpc
 1        the  quarterly  statement  of  condition delivered to the
 2        Commissioner  in  accordance  with  Section  47  for  the
 3        preceding quarter according to  the  following  schedule:
 4        16¢  per  $1,000 of the first $5,000,000 of total assets,
 5        15¢ per $1,000 of the next $20,000,000 of  total  assets,
 6        13¢  per $1,000 of the next $75,000,000  of total assets,
 7        9¢ per $1,000 of the next $400,000,000 of  total  assets,
 8        7¢  per  $1,000 of the next $500,000,000 of total assets,
 9        and  5¢  per  $1,000  of  all   assets   in   excess   of
10        $1,000,000,000,  of  the  State bank. The Call Report Fee
11        shall be calculated by the Commissioner and billed to the
12        banks  for  remittance  at  the  time  of  the  quarterly
13        statements of condition provided for in Section  47.  The
14        Commissioner  may require payment of the fees provided in
15        this Section by an electronic transfer  of  funds  or  an
16        automatic debit of an account of each of the State banks.
17        In  case  more than one examination of any bank is deemed
18        by the Commissioner to be necessary  in  any  examination
19        frequency  cycle  specified  in  subsection  2(a) of this
20        Section,  and  is  performed  at   his   direction,   the
21        Commissioner  may  assess  a reasonable additional fee to
22        recover the cost of the additional examination; provided,
23        however, that an examination conducted at the request  of
24        the  State  Treasurer pursuant to the Uniform Disposition
25        of Unclaimed Property Act shall not be deemed  to  be  an
26        additional examination under this Section. In lieu of the
27        method  and  amounts  set forth in this paragraph (a) for
28        the calculation of the Call Report Fee, the  Commissioner
29        may specify by rule that the Call Report Fees provided by
30        this  Section  may be assessed semiannually or some other
31        period and may provide in the rule the formula to be used
32        for calculating and assessing the  periodic  Call  Report
33        Fees to be paid by State banks.
34             (a-1)  If  in  the  opinion  of  the Commissioner an
 
SB119 Engrossed             -14-               LRB9204827JSpc
 1        emergency exists or appears likely, the Commissioner  may
 2        assign an examiner or examiners to monitor the affairs of
 3        a   State   bank   with   whatever   frequency  he  deems
 4        appropriate, including but not limited to a daily  basis.
 5        The reasonable and necessary expenses of the Commissioner
 6        during the period of the monitoring shall be borne by the
 7        subject  bank.   The Commissioner shall furnish the State
 8        bank a statement of time and expenses if requested to  do
 9        so  within  30  days  of the conclusion of the monitoring
10        period.
11             (a-2)  On and after January 1, 1990, the  reasonable
12        and   necessary   expenses  of  the  Commissioner  during
13        examination  of  the  performance  of   electronic   data
14        processing services under subsection (2.5) shall be borne
15        by  the  banks  for  which the services are provided.  An
16        amount, based upon a  fee  structure  prescribed  by  the
17        Commissioner,  shall  be  paid by the banks or, after May
18        31, 1997, branches of out-of-state  banks  receiving  the
19        electronic  data  processing services along with the Call
20        Report  Fee  assessed  under  paragraph   (a)   of   this
21        subsection (3).
22             (a-3)  After   May  31,  1997,  the  reasonable  and
23        necessary expenses of the Commissioner during examination
24        of the performance of electronic data processing services
25        under subsection (2.5) at or on  behalf  of  branches  of
26        out-of-state  banks  shall  be  borne by the out-of-state
27        banks, unless those  expenses  are  borne  by  the  state
28        regulatory  authorities  that  chartered the out-of-state
29        banks, as determined by  cooperative  agreements  between
30        the  Commissioner  and  the  state regulatory authorities
31        that chartered the out-of-state banks.
32             (b)  "Fiscal year" for purposes of this  Section  48
33        is  defined  as a period beginning July 1 of any year and
34        ending June 30 of the next year. The  Commissioner  shall
 
SB119 Engrossed             -15-               LRB9204827JSpc
 1        receive  for each fiscal year, commencing with the fiscal
 2        year ending June 30, 1987, a contingent fee equal to  the
 3        lesser  of  the  aggregate  of the fees paid by all State
 4        banks under paragraph (a)  of  subsection  (3)  for  that
 5        year, or the amount, if any, whereby the aggregate of the
 6        administration expenses, as defined in paragraph (c), for
 7        that  fiscal year exceeds the sum of the aggregate of the
 8        fees payable by all  State  banks  for  that  year  under
 9        paragraph   (a)  of  subsection  (3),  plus  any  amounts
10        transferred into the Bank and Trust Company Fund from the
11        State Pensions Fund for that year, plus all other amounts
12        collected by the Commissioner for  that  year  under  any
13        other  provision  of  this Act, plus the aggregate of all
14        fees collected for that year by  the  Commissioner  under
15        the  Corporate  Fiduciary Act, excluding the receivership
16        fees provided  for  in  Section  5-10  of  the  Corporate
17        Fiduciary  Act,  and  the Foreign Banking Office Act. The
18        aggregate amount of the contingent fee  thus  arrived  at
19        for   any  fiscal  year  shall  be  apportioned  amongst,
20        assessed upon, and paid by the State  banks  and  foreign
21        banking   corporations,   respectively,   in   the   same
22        proportion  that  the  fee of each under paragraph (a) of
23        subsection (3), respectively, for that year bears to  the
24        aggregate  for  that  year  of  the  fees collected under
25        paragraph (a) of subsection (3). The aggregate amount  of
26        the  contingent  fee,  and  the  portion  thereof  to  be
27        assessed   upon  each  State  bank  and  foreign  banking
28        corporation, respectively, shall  be  determined  by  the
29        Commissioner  and  shall  be  paid by each, respectively,
30        within 120 days of the close of the period for which  the
31        contingent  fee  is  computed  and  is  payable,  and the
32        Commissioner shall give 20 days  advance  notice  of  the
33        amount  of  the  contingent fee payable by the State bank
34        and of the date fixed by the Commissioner for payment  of
 
SB119 Engrossed             -16-               LRB9204827JSpc
 1        the fee.
 2             (c)  The  "administration  expenses"  for any fiscal
 3        year shall mean the ordinary and contingent expenses  for
 4        that  year  incident  to making the examinations provided
 5        for by, and for otherwise administering,  this  Act,  the
 6        Corporate Fiduciary Act, excluding the expenses paid from
 7        the  Corporate Fiduciary Receivership account in the Bank
 8        and Trust Company Fund, the Foreign Banking  Office  Act,
 9        the  Electronic  Fund Transfer Act, and the Illinois Bank
10        Examiners'  Education  Foundation  Act,   including   all
11        salaries   and   other  compensation  paid  for  personal
12        services rendered for the State by officers or  employees
13        of  the  State, including the Commissioner and the Deputy
14        Commissioners,  all  expenditures   for   telephone   and
15        telegraph  charges,  postage  and  postal charges, office
16        stationery, supplies and services, and  office  furniture
17        and  equipment,  including  typewriters  and  copying and
18        duplicating machines and filing  equipment,  surety  bond
19        premiums,  and  travel  expenses  of  those  officers and
20        employees, employees, expenditures  or  charges  for  the
21        acquisition,  enlargement  or  improvement of, or for the
22        use of, any office  space,  building,  or  structure,  or
23        expenditures   for   the   maintenance   thereof  or  for
24        furnishing heat, light, or power  with  respect  thereto,
25        all  to  the  extent that those expenditures are directly
26        incidental to such examinations or administration.    The
27        Commissioner  shall  not be required by paragraphs (c) or
28        (d-1) of this subsection (3) to maintain  in  any  fiscal
29        year's  budget appropriated reserves for accrued vacation
30        and accrued sick leave that is required  to  be  paid  to
31        employees  of  the Commissioner upon termination of their
32        service with the Commissioner in an amount that  is  more
33        than  is  reasonably  anticipated to be necessary for any
34        anticipated turnover in employees, whether due to  normal
 
SB119 Engrossed             -17-               LRB9204827JSpc
 1        attrition   or   due   to   layoffs,   terminations,   or
 2        resignations.
 3             (d)  The  aggregate  of  all  fees  collected by the
 4        Commissioner under this Act, the Corporate Fiduciary Act,
 5        or the Foreign Banking Office Act on and  after  July  1,
 6        1979,  shall  be paid promptly after receipt of the same,
 7        accompanied by a detailed  statement  thereof,  into  the
 8        State  treasury  and shall be set apart in a special fund
 9        to be known as the "Bank and Trust Company Fund",  except
10        as  provided  in paragraph (c) of subsection (11) of this
11        Section. All earnings received from investments of  funds
12        in  the  Bank  and  Trust Company Fund shall be deposited
13        into the Bank and Trust Company Fund and may be used  for
14        the  same  purposes as fees deposited into that Fund. The
15        amount from time to time  deposited  into  the  Bank  and
16        Trust  Company  Fund shall be used to offset the ordinary
17        administrative expenses of the Commissioner of Banks  and
18        Real  Estate  as defined in this Section. Nothing in this
19        amendatory Act  of  1979  shall  prevent  continuing  the
20        practice   of   paying   expenses   involving   salaries,
21        retirement,  social  security,  and  State-paid insurance
22        premiums of State officers  by  appropriations  from  the
23        General  Revenue Fund.  However, the General Revenue Fund
24        shall be reimbursed for those payments made on and  after
25        July  1,  1979,  by  an annual transfer of funds from the
26        Bank and Trust Company Fund.
27             (d-1)  Adequate funds shall be available in the Bank
28        and Trust Company Fund to permit the  timely  payment  of
29        administration  expenses.   In each fiscal year the total
30        administration expenses shall be deducted from the  total
31        fees  collected  by  the  Commissioner  and the remainder
32        transferred into the Cash Flow  Reserve  Account,  unless
33        the balance of the Cash Flow Reserve Account prior to the
34        transfer  equals  or  exceeds  one-fourth  of  the  total
 
SB119 Engrossed             -18-               LRB9204827JSpc
 1        initial  appropriations  from  the Bank and Trust Company
 2        Fund for the subsequent year, in which case the remainder
 3        shall be credited to  State  banks  and  foreign  banking
 4        corporations  and  applied  against  their  fees  for the
 5        subsequent year.  The amount credited to each State  bank
 6        and  foreign  banking  corporation  shall  be in the same
 7        proportion as the Call Report Fees paid by each  for  the
 8        year bear to the total Call Report Fees collected for the
 9        year.   If,  after  a  transfer  to the Cash Flow Reserve
10        Account is made or  if  no  remainder  is  available  for
11        transfer, the balance of the Cash Flow Reserve Account is
12        less  than one-fourth of the total initial appropriations
13        for the subsequent year and  the  amount  transferred  is
14        less  than 5% of the total Call Report Fees for the year,
15        additional amounts needed to make the transfer  equal  to
16        5%  of  the  total Call Report Fees for the year shall be
17        apportioned amongst, assessed upon, and paid by the State
18        banks  and  foreign  banking  corporations  in  the  same
19        proportion  that  the   Call   Report   Fees   of   each,
20        respectively,  for the year bear to the total Call Report
21        Fees collected for  the  year.   The  additional  amounts
22        assessed  shall be transferred into the Cash Flow Reserve
23        Account.  For  purposes  of  this  paragraph  (d-1),  the
24        calculation  of  the  fees  collected by the Commissioner
25        shall exclude  the  receivership  fees  provided  for  in
26        Section 5-10 of the Corporate Fiduciary Act.
27             (e)  The  Commissioner  may  upon request certify to
28        any public record in his keeping and shall have authority
29        to levy a reasonable charge for issuing certifications of
30        any public record in his keeping.
31             (f)  In addition to  fees  authorized  elsewhere  in
32        this  Act,  the  Commissioner  may,  in connection with a
33        review, approval, or  provision  of  a  service,  levy  a
34        reasonable  charge  to  recover  the  cost of the review,
 
SB119 Engrossed             -19-               LRB9204827JSpc
 1        approval, or service.
 2        (4)  Nothing contained in this Act shall be construed  to
 3    limit  the obligation relative to examinations and reports of
 4    any State bank, deposits in which are to any  extent  insured
 5    by  the  United States or any agency thereof, nor to limit in
 6    any way the powers of  the  Commissioner  with  reference  to
 7    examinations and reports of that bank.
 8        (5)  The  nature  and  condition  of  the  assets  in  or
 9    investment  of any bonus, pension, or profit sharing plan for
10    officers or employees of every State bank or, after  May  31,
11    1997,  branch  of  an out-of-state bank shall be deemed to be
12    included in the affairs of that State bank or  branch  of  an
13    out-of-state  bank subject to examination by the Commissioner
14    under the provisions of subsection (2) of this  Section,  and
15    if  the  Commissioner shall find from an examination that the

 4        savings bank or person furnishing information pursuant to
 5        this  item  (13) shall be entitled to the same rights and
 6        protections as a person furnishing information under  the

20    violation of this Section is guilty  of  a  business  offense
21    and, upon conviction, shall be fined not more than $1,000.
22        (g)  Any  person  who  knowingly and willfully induces or

30    an  annual  or  special  meeting, the savings bank shall give
31    that person, upon request, a  statement  of  the  approximate
32    number  of  members  or  shareholders entitled to vote at the
33    meeting and an estimate of the cost of preparing and  mailing

21    schedule in subsection (1)  and  the  projected  earnings  on
22    those  fees on an annual basis and adjust the fee schedule no
23    more than 5% annually if necessary to  defray  the  estimated
24    administrative  and operational expenses of the Department as
25    defined in subsection (5).  The Director shall provide credit
26    unions with written notice of  any  adjustment  made  in  the
27    regulatory fee schedule.

SB119 Engrossed             -49-               LRB9204827JSpc
 1    fee cap of $125,000 shall be adjusted to incorporate the same
 2    percentage increase as the Director makes in  the  regulatory
 3    fee  schedule  from  time  to  time under subsection (2).  No
 4    regulatory fee shall be collected from a credit  union  until
 5    it has been in operation for one year.
 6        (4)  The   aggregate   of   all  fees  collected  by  the
 7    Department under this Act shall be paid promptly  after  they

 9    statement thereof, into the State Treasury and shall  be  set
10    apart in the Credit Union Fund, a special fund hereby created
11    in  the  State  treasury.    The  amount  from  time  to time
12    deposited in the Credit Union  Fund  and  shall  be  used  to
13    offset  the  ordinary administrative and operational expenses
14    of the Department under this Act.  All earnings received from
15    investments of funds  in  the  Credit  Union  Fund  shall  be
16    deposited  into the Credit Union Fund and may be used for the
17    same purposes as fees deposited into that Fund.

19    calendar year shall mean the ordinary and contingent expenses
20    for  that year incidental to making the examinations provided
21    for by,  and  for  administering,  this  Act,  including  all
22    salaries  and  other  compensation paid for personal services
23    rendered for the State by officers or employees of the  State
24    to  enforce  this  Act;  all  expenditures  for telephone and
25    telegraph  charges,  postage  and  postal   charges,   office
26    supplies  and services, furniture and equipment, office space
27    and maintenance thereof, travel expenses and other  necessary
28    expenses;  all  to  the  extent  that  such  expenditures are
29    directly incidental to such examination or administration.
30        (6)  When the aggregate of  all  fees  collected  by  the
31    Department  under  this  Act and all earnings thereon for any
32    calendar year exceeds 150% of the  total  administrative  and
33    operational  expenses  under  this  Act  for  that year, such
34    excess shall be credited to credit unions and applied against
 
SB119 Engrossed             -50-               LRB9204827JSpc
 1    their regulatory fees for the subsequent  year.   The  amount
 2    credited to a credit union shall be in the same proportion as
 3    the  fee  paid  by such credit union for the calendar year in
 4    which the excess is produced bears to the  aggregate  of  the
 5    fees  collected by the Department under this Act for the same
 6    year.
 7        (7)  Examination  fees  for  the  year   2000   statutory
 8    examinations paid pursuant to the examination fee schedule in
 9    effect  at  that time shall be credited toward the regulatory
10    fee to be assessed the credit union in calendar year 2001.
11        (8)  Nothing in  this  Act  shall  prohibit  the  General
12    Assembly  from appropriating funds to the Department from the
13    General Revenue Fund for the purpose  of  administering  this
14    Act.
