4 | Sec. 13. Issuance of charter. | ||||||
5 | (a) When the directors have organized as provided in | ||||||
6 | Section 12 of this Act, and the capital stock and the preferred | ||||||
7 | stock, if any, together with a surplus of not less than 50% of | ||||||
8 | the capital, has been all fully paid in and a record of the | ||||||
9 | same filed with the Commissioner, the Commissioner or some | ||||||
10 | competent person of the Commissioner's appointment shall make | ||||||
11 | a thorough examination into the affairs of the proposed bank, | ||||||
12 | and if satisfied (i) that all the requirements of this Act have | ||||||
13 | been complied with, (ii) that no intervening circumstance has | ||||||
14 | occurred to change the Commissioner's findings made pursuant | ||||||
15 | to Section 10 of this Act, and (iii) that the prior involvement | ||||||
16 | by any stockholder who will own a sufficient amount of stock to | ||||||
17 | have control, as defined in Section 18 of this Act, of the | ||||||
18 | proposed bank with any other financial institution, whether as | ||||||
19 | stockholder, director, officer, or customer, was conducted in | ||||||
20 | a safe and sound manner, upon payment into the Commissioner's | ||||||
21 | office of the reasonable expenses of the examination, as | ||||||
22 | determined by the Commissioner, the Commissioner shall issue a | ||||||
23 | charter authorizing the bank to commence business as | ||||||
24 | authorized in this Act. All charters issued by the | ||||||
25 | Commissioner or any predecessor agency which chartered State |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | banks, including any charter outstanding as of September 1, | ||||||
2 | 1989, shall be perpetual. For the 2 years after the | ||||||
3 | Commissioner has issued a charter to a bank, the bank shall | ||||||
4 | request and obtain from the Commissioner prior written | ||||||
5 | approval before it may change senior management personnel or | ||||||
6 | directors. | ||||||
7 | The original charter, duly certified by the Commissioner, | ||||||
8 | or a certified copy shall be evidence in all courts and places | ||||||
9 | of the existence and authority of the bank to do business. Upon | ||||||
10 | the issuance of the charter by the Commissioner, the bank | ||||||
11 | shall be deemed fully organized and may proceed to do | ||||||
12 | business. The Commissioner may, in the Commissioner's | ||||||
13 | discretion, withhold the issuing of the charter when the | ||||||
14 | Commissioner has reason to believe that the bank is organized | ||||||
15 | for any purpose other than that contemplated by this Act. The | ||||||
16 | Commissioner shall revoke the charter and order liquidation in | ||||||
17 | the event that the bank does not commence a general banking | ||||||
18 | business within one year from the date of the issuance of the | ||||||
19 | charter, unless a request has been submitted, in writing, to | ||||||
20 | the Commissioner for an extension and the request has been | ||||||
21 | approved. After commencing a general banking business, a bank | ||||||
22 | may change its name by filing written notice with the | ||||||
23 | Commissioner at least 30 days prior to the effective date of | ||||||
24 | such change. A bank chartered under this Act may change its | ||||||
25 | main banking premises by filing written notice application | ||||||
26 | with the Commissioner, on forms prescribed by the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Commissioner, provided (i) the change shall not be a removal | ||||||
2 | to a new location without complying with the capital | ||||||
3 | requirements of Section 7 and of subsection (1) of Section 10 | ||||||
4 | of this Act; and (ii) the Commissioner approves the relocation | ||||||
5 | or change; and (iii) the bank complies with any applicable | ||||||
6 | federal law or regulation. The application shall be deemed to | ||||||
7 | be approved if the Commissioner has not acted on the | ||||||
8 | application within 30 days after receipt of the application, | ||||||
9 | unless within the 30-day time frame the Commissioner informs | ||||||
10 | the bank that an extension of time is necessary prior to the | ||||||
11 | Commissioner's action on the application. | ||||||
12 | (b)(1) The Commissioner may also issue a charter to a bank | ||||||
13 | that is owned exclusively by other depository institutions or | ||||||
14 | depository institution holding companies and is organized to | ||||||
15 | engage exclusively in providing services to or for other | ||||||
16 | financial institutions, their holding companies, and the | ||||||
17 | officers, directors, and employees of such institutions and | ||||||
18 | companies, and in providing services at the request of other | ||||||
19 | financial institutions or their holding companies (also | ||||||
20 | referred to as a "bankers' bank"). The bank may also provide | ||||||
21 | products and services to its officers, directors, and | ||||||
22 | employees. | ||||||
23 | (2) A bank chartered pursuant to paragraph (1) shall, | ||||||
24 | except as otherwise specifically determined or limited by the | ||||||
25 | Commissioner in an order or pursuant to a rule, be vested with | ||||||
26 | the same rights and privileges and subject to the same duties, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | restrictions, penalties, and liabilities now or hereafter | ||||||
2 | imposed under this Act. | ||||||
3 | (c) A bank chartered under this Act shall, at all times | ||||||
4 | while it accepts or retains deposits, maintain with the | ||||||
5 | Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or such other | ||||||
6 | instrumentality of or corporation chartered by the United | ||||||
7 | States, deposit insurance as authorized under federal law. | ||||||
8 | (d)(i) A bank that has a banking charter issued by the | ||||||
9 | Commissioner under this Act may, pursuant to a written | ||||||
10 | purchase and assumption agreement, transfer substantially all | ||||||
11 | of its assets to another State bank or national bank in | ||||||
12 | consideration, in whole or in part, for the transferee banks' | ||||||
13 | assumption of any part or all of its liabilities. Such a | ||||||
14 | transfer shall in no way be deemed to impair the charter of the | ||||||
15 | transferor bank or cause the transferor bank to forfeit any of | ||||||
16 | its rights, powers, interests, franchises, or privileges as a | ||||||
17 | State bank, nor shall any voluntary reduction in the | ||||||
18 | transferor bank's activities resulting from the transfer have | ||||||
19 | any such effect; provided, however, that a State bank that | ||||||
20 | transfers substantially all of its assets pursuant to this | ||||||
21 | subsection (d) and following the transfer does not accept | ||||||
22 | deposits and make loans, shall not have any rights, powers, | ||||||
23 | interests, franchises, or privileges under subsection (15) of | ||||||
24 | Section 5 of this Act until the bank has resumed accepting | ||||||
25 | deposits and making loans. | ||||||
26 | (ii) The fact that a State bank does not resume accepting |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | deposits and making loans for a period of 24 months commencing | ||||||
2 | on September 11, 1989 or on a date of the transfer of | ||||||
3 | substantially all of a State bank's assets, whichever is | ||||||
4 | later, or such longer period as the Commissioner may allow in | ||||||
5 | writing, may be the basis for a finding by the Commissioner | ||||||
6 | under Section 51 of this Act that the bank is unable to | ||||||
7 | continue operations. | ||||||
8 | (iii) The authority provided by subdivision (i) of this | ||||||
9 | subsection (d) shall terminate on May 31, 1997, and no bank | ||||||
10 | that has transferred substantially all of its assets pursuant | ||||||
11 | to this subsection (d) shall continue in existence after May | ||||||
12 | 31, 1997. | ||||||

11 | appears on the records of the bank. | ||||||
12 | (3) Except as provided below in this paragraph (3), each | ||||||

17 | determining the total number of outstanding shares at any | ||||||
18 | given time, but shares of its own stock held by it in a | ||||||
19 | fiduciary capacity may be voted and shall be counted in | ||||||
20 | determining the total number of outstanding shares at any | ||||||
21 | given time. A stockholder may vote either in person or by proxy | ||||||
22 | executed in writing by the stockholder or by his duly | ||||||
23 | authorized attorney-in-fact. No proxy shall be valid after 11 | ||||||
24 | months from the date of its execution, unless otherwise | ||||||
25 | provided in the proxy. Except as provided below in this | ||||||
26 | paragraph (3), in all elections for directors every |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | stockholder (or subscriber to the stock prior to the issuance | ||||||
2 | of a charter) shall have the right to vote, in person or by | ||||||
3 | proxy, for the number of shares of stock owned by him, for as | ||||||
4 | many persons as there are directors to be elected, or to | ||||||
5 | cumulate the shares and give one candidate as many votes as the | ||||||
6 | number of directors multiplied by the number of his or her | ||||||
7 | shares of stock shall equal, or to distribute them on the same | ||||||
8 | principle among as many candidates as he or she shall think | ||||||
9 | fit. The bank charter of any bank organized on or after January | ||||||
10 | 1, 1984 may limit or eliminate cumulative voting rights in all | ||||||
11 | or specified circumstances, or may eliminate voting rights | ||||||
12 | entirely, as to any class or classes or series of stock of the | ||||||
13 | bank; provided that one class of shares or series thereof | ||||||
14 | shall always have voting rights in respect of all matters in | ||||||
15 | the bank. A bank organized prior to January 1, 1984 may amend | ||||||
16 | its charter to eliminate cumulative voting rights under all or | ||||||
17 | specified circumstances, or to eliminate voting rights | ||||||
18 | entirely, as to any class or classes or series of stock of the | ||||||
19 | bank; provided that one class of shares or series thereof | ||||||
20 | shall always have voting rights in respect of all matters in | ||||||
21 | the bank, and provided further that the proposal to eliminate | ||||||
22 | the voting rights receives the approval of the holders of 70% | ||||||
23 | of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote as | ||||||
24 | provided in paragraph (b) (7) of Section 17. A majority of the | ||||||
25 | outstanding shares represented in person or by proxy shall | ||||||
26 | constitute a quorum at a meeting of stockholders. In the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | absence of a quorum a meeting may be adjourned from time to | ||||||
2 | time without notice to the stockholders. | ||||||
3 | (4) Whenever additional stock of a class is offered for | ||||||
4 | sale, stockholders of record of the same class on the date of | ||||||
5 | the offer shall have the right to subscribe to the proportion | ||||||
6 | of the shares as the stock of the class held by them bears to | ||||||
7 | the total of the outstanding stock of the class, and the price | ||||||
8 | thereof may be in excess of par value. This right shall be | ||||||
9 | transferable but shall terminate if not exercised within 60 | ||||||
10 | days of the offer, unless the Commissioner shall authorize a | ||||||
11 | shorter time. If the right is not exercised, the stock shall | ||||||
12 | not be re-offered for sale to others at a lower price without | ||||||
13 | the stockholders of the same class again being accorded a | ||||||
14 | preemptive right to subscribe at the lower price. | ||||||
15 | Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this paragraph (4) or | ||||||
16 | any other provision of law, stockholders shall not have any | ||||||
17 | preemptive or other right to subscribe for or to purchase or | ||||||
18 | acquire shares of capital stock issued or to be issued under a | ||||||
19 | stock-option plan or upon conversion of preferred stock or | ||||||
20 | convertible debentures or other convertible indebtedness that | ||||||
21 | has been approved by stockholders in the manner required by | ||||||
22 | the provisions of subsection (5) of Section 14 hereof or to | ||||||
23 | treasury stock acquired pursuant to subsection (6) of Section | ||||||
24 | 14. | ||||||
25 | (5) For the purpose of determining stockholders entitled | ||||||
26 | to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders, or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or | ||||||
2 | in order to make a determination of stockholders for any other | ||||||
3 | proper purpose, the board of directors of a bank may provide | ||||||
4 | that the stock transfer books shall be closed for a stated | ||||||
5 | period not to exceed, in any case, 40 days. In lieu of closing | ||||||
6 | the stock transfer books, the board of directors may fix in | ||||||
7 | advance a date as the record date for any determination of | ||||||
8 | stockholders, the date in any case to be not more than 40 days, | ||||||
9 | and in case of a meeting of stockholders, not less than 10 days | ||||||
10 | prior to the date on which the particular action, requiring | ||||||
11 | the determination of stockholders, is to be taken. If the | ||||||
12 | stock transfer books are not closed and no record date is fixed | ||||||
13 | for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of or | ||||||
14 | to vote at a meeting of stockholders, or stockholders entitled | ||||||
15 | to receive payment of a dividend, the date on which notice of a | ||||||
16 | meeting is delivered mailed or the date on which the | ||||||
17 | resolution of the board of directors declaring the dividend is | ||||||
18 | adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record date for the | ||||||
19 | determination of stockholders. | ||||||
20 | (6) Stock standing in the name of another corporation, | ||||||
21 | domestic or foreign, may be voted by the officer, agent, or | ||||||
22 | proxy as the by-laws of the corporation may prescribe, or, in | ||||||
23 | the absence of such provision, as the board of directors of the | ||||||
24 | corporation may determine. Stock standing in the name of a | ||||||
25 | deceased person may be voted by his or her administrator or | ||||||
26 | executor, either in person or by proxy. Stock standing in the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | name of a guardian or trustee may be voted by that fiduciary | ||||||
2 | either in person or by proxy. Shares standing in the name of a | ||||||
3 | receiver may be voted by the receiver, and shares held by or | ||||||
4 | under control of a receiver may be voted by the receiver | ||||||
5 | without the transfer thereof into his or her name if authority | ||||||
6 | so to do be contained in an appropriate order of the court by | ||||||
7 | which the receiver was appointed. A stockholder whose shares | ||||||
8 | of stock are pledged shall be entitled to vote those shares | ||||||
9 | until the shares have been transferred into the name of the | ||||||
10 | pledgee, and thereafter the pledgee shall be entitled to vote | ||||||
11 | the shares so transferred. | ||||||
12 | (7) Shares of stock shall be transferable in accordance | ||||||
13 | with the general laws of this State governing the transfer of | ||||||
14 | corporate shares. | ||||||
15 | (8) The president and any other officer designated by the | ||||||
16 | board of directors of every State bank shall cause to be kept | ||||||
17 | at all times a full and correct list of the names and | ||||||
18 | residences of all the shareholders in the State bank and the | ||||||
19 | number of shares held by each in the office where its business | ||||||
20 | is transacted. The list shall be subject to the inspection of | ||||||
21 | all the shareholders of the State bank and the officers | ||||||
22 | authorized to assess taxes under State authority during | ||||||
23 | business hours of each day in which business may be legally | ||||||
24 | transacted or shall be kept on a reasonably accessible | ||||||
25 | electronic network, at the State bank's election . A copy of | ||||||
26 | the list, verified by the oath of the president or cashier, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | shall be transmitted to the Commissioner of Banks and Real | ||||||
2 | Estate within 10 days of any demand therefor made by the | ||||||
3 | Commissioner. | ||||||
4 | (9) Any number of shareholders of a bank may create a | ||||||
5 | voting trust for the purpose of conferring upon a trustee or | ||||||
6 | trustees the right to vote or otherwise represent their shares | ||||||
7 | for a period of not to exceed 10 years by entering into a | ||||||
8 | written voting trust agreement specifying the terms and | ||||||
9 | conditions of the voting trust and by transferring their | ||||||
10 | shares to the trustee or trustees for the purposes of the | ||||||
11 | agreement. The trust agreement shall not become effective | ||||||
12 | until a counterpart of the agreement is deposited with the | ||||||
13 | bank at its main banking premises. The counterpart of the | ||||||
14 | voting trust agreement so deposited with the bank shall be | ||||||
15 | subject to the same right of examination by a shareholder of | ||||||
16 | the bank, in person or by agent or attorney, as is the record | ||||||
17 | of shareholders of the bank and shall be subject to | ||||||
18 | examination by any holder of a beneficial interest in the | ||||||
19 | voting trust, either in person or by agent or attorney, at any | ||||||
20 | reasonable time for any proper purpose. | ||||||
21 | (10) Voting agreements. Shareholders may provide for the | ||||||
22 | voting of their shares by signing an agreement for that | ||||||
23 | purpose. A voting agreement created under this paragraph is | ||||||
24 | not subject to the provisions of paragraph (9). | ||||||
25 | A voting agreement created under this paragraph is | ||||||
26 | specifically enforceable in accordance with the principles of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | equity. | ||||||
2 | (11) Unless expressly prohibited by the charter or bylaws | ||||||
3 | and subject to applicable requirements of this Act, the board | ||||||
4 | of directors may provide by resolution that stockholders may | ||||||
5 | attend, participate in, act in, and vote at an annual meeting | ||||||
6 | or special meeting through the use of a conference telephone | ||||||
7 | or interactive technology, including, but not limited to, | ||||||
8 | electronic transmission, Internet usage, or remote | ||||||
9 | communication, by means of which all persons participating in | ||||||
10 | the meeting can communicate with each other. Participation | ||||||
11 | through the use of a conference telephone or interactive | ||||||
12 | technology shall constitute attendance, presence, and | ||||||
13 | representation in person at the annual meeting or special | ||||||
14 | meeting of the person or persons so participating and count | ||||||
15 | toward the quorum required to conduct business at the meeting. | ||||||
16 | The following conditions shall apply to any virtual meeting of | ||||||
17 | the stockholders: | ||||||
18 | (a) the bank must internally possess or retain the | ||||||
19 | technological capacity to facilitate virtual meeting | ||||||
20 | attendance, participation, communication, and voting; and | ||||||
21 | (b) the stockholders must receive notice of the use of | ||||||
22 | a virtual meeting format and appropriate instructions for | ||||||
23 | joining, participating, and voting during the virtual | ||||||
24 | meeting at least 7 days before the virtual meeting. | ||||||

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

25 | bank shall knowingly employ or otherwise permit an individual |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | to serve as an officer, director, employee, or agent of the | ||||||
2 | State bank if the individual has been convicted of a felony or | ||||||

2 | shall not be subject to any other visitorial power other than | ||||||
3 | as authorized by this Act, except those vested in the courts, | ||||||
4 | or upon prior consultation with the Secretary, a foreign bank | ||||||
5 | regulator with an appropriate supervisory interest in the | ||||||
6 | parent or affiliate of a State bank. In the performance of the | ||||||
7 | Secretary's duties: | ||||||
8 | (1) The Commissioner shall call for statements from | ||||||
9 | all State banks as provided in Section 47 at least one time | ||||||
10 | during each calendar quarter. | ||||||
11 | (2) (a) The Commissioner, as often as the Commissioner | ||||||
12 | shall deem necessary or proper, and no less frequently | ||||||
13 | than 18 months following the preceding examination, shall | ||||||
14 | appoint a suitable person or persons to make an | ||||||
15 | examination of the affairs of every State bank, except | ||||||
16 | that for every eligible State bank, as defined by | ||||||
17 | regulation, the Commissioner in lieu of the examination | ||||||
18 | may accept on an alternating basis the examination made by | ||||||
19 | the eligible State bank's appropriate federal banking | ||||||
20 | agency pursuant to Section 111 of the Federal Deposit | ||||||
21 | Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991, provided | ||||||
22 | the appropriate federal banking agency has made such an | ||||||
23 | examination. A person so appointed shall not be a | ||||||
24 | stockholder or officer or employee of any bank which that | ||||||
25 | person may be directed to examine, and shall have powers | ||||||
26 | to make a thorough examination into all the affairs of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | bank and in so doing to examine any of the officers or | ||||||
2 | agents or employees thereof on oath and shall make a full | ||||||
3 | and detailed report of the condition of the bank to the | ||||||
4 | Commissioner. In making the examination the examiners | ||||||
5 | shall include an examination of the affairs of all the | ||||||
6 | affiliates of the bank, as defined in subsection (b) of | ||||||
7 | Section 35.2 of this Act, or subsidiaries of the bank as | ||||||
8 | shall be necessary to disclose fully the conditions of the | ||||||
9 | subsidiaries or affiliates, the relations between the bank | ||||||
10 | and the subsidiaries or affiliates and the effect of those | ||||||
11 | relations upon the affairs of the bank, and in connection | ||||||
12 | therewith shall have power to examine any of the officers, | ||||||
13 | directors, agents, or employees of the subsidiaries or | ||||||
14 | affiliates on oath. After May 31, 1997, the Commissioner | ||||||
15 | may enter into cooperative agreements with state | ||||||
16 | regulatory authorities of other states to provide for | ||||||
17 | examination of State bank branches in those states, and | ||||||
18 | the Commissioner may accept reports of examinations of | ||||||
19 | State bank branches from those state regulatory | ||||||
20 | authorities. These cooperative agreements may set forth | ||||||
21 | the manner in which the other state regulatory authorities | ||||||
22 | may be compensated for examinations prepared for and | ||||||
23 | submitted to the Commissioner. | ||||||
24 | (b) After May 31, 1997, the Commissioner is authorized | ||||||
25 | to examine, as often as the Commissioner shall deem | ||||||
26 | necessary or proper, branches of out-of-state banks. The |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Commissioner may establish and may assess fees to be paid | ||||||
2 | to the Commissioner for examinations under this subsection | ||||||
3 | (b). The fees shall be borne by the out-of-state bank, | ||||||
4 | unless the fees are borne by the state regulatory | ||||||
5 | authority that chartered the out-of-state bank, as | ||||||
6 | determined by a cooperative agreement between the | ||||||
7 | Commissioner and the state regulatory authority that | ||||||
8 | chartered the out-of-state bank. | ||||||
9 | (2.1) Pursuant to paragraph (a) of subsection (6) of | ||||||
10 | this Section, the Secretary shall adopt rules that ensure | ||||||
11 | consistency and due process in the examination process. | ||||||
12 | The Secretary may also establish guidelines that (i) | ||||||
13 | define the scope of the examination process and (ii) | ||||||
14 | clarify examination items to be resolved. The rules, | ||||||
15 | formal guidance, interpretive letters, or opinions | ||||||
16 | furnished to State banks by the Secretary may be relied | ||||||
17 | upon by the State banks. | ||||||
18 | (2.5) Whenever any State bank, any subsidiary or | ||||||
19 | affiliate of a State bank, or after May 31, 1997, any | ||||||
20 | branch of an out-of-state bank causes to be performed, by | ||||||
21 | contract or otherwise, any bank services for itself, | ||||||
22 | whether on or off its premises: | ||||||
23 | (a) that performance shall be subject to | ||||||
24 | examination by the Commissioner to the same extent as | ||||||
25 | if services were being performed by the bank or, after | ||||||
26 | May 31, 1997, branch of the out-of-state bank itself |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | on its own premises; and | ||||||
2 | (b) the bank or, after May 31, 1997, branch of the | ||||||
3 | out-of-state bank shall notify the Commissioner of the | ||||||
4 | existence of a service relationship. The notification | ||||||
5 | shall be submitted with the first statement of | ||||||
6 | condition (as required by Section 47 of this Act) due | ||||||
7 | after the making of the service contract or the | ||||||
8 | performance of the service, whichever occurs first. | ||||||
9 | The Commissioner shall be notified of each subsequent | ||||||
10 | contract in the same manner. | ||||||
11 | For purposes of this subsection (2.5), the term "bank | ||||||
12 | services" means services such as sorting and posting of | ||||||
13 | checks and deposits, computation and posting of interest | ||||||
14 | and other credits and charges, preparation and mailing of | ||||||
15 | checks, statements, notices, and similar items, or any | ||||||
16 | other clerical, bookkeeping, accounting, statistical, or | ||||||
17 | similar functions performed for a State bank, including, | ||||||
18 | but not limited to, electronic data processing related to | ||||||
19 | those bank services. | ||||||
20 | (3) The expense of administering this Act, including | ||||||
21 | the expense of the examinations of State banks as provided | ||||||
22 | in this Act, shall to the extent of the amounts resulting | ||||||
23 | from the fees provided for in paragraphs (a), (a-2), and | ||||||
24 | (b) of this subsection (3) be assessed against and borne | ||||||
25 | by the State banks: | ||||||
26 | (a) Each bank shall pay to the Secretary a Call |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Report Fee which shall be paid in quarterly | ||||||
2 | installments equal to one-fourth of the sum of the | ||||||
3 | annual fixed fee of $800, plus a variable fee based on | ||||||
4 | the assets shown on the quarterly statement of | ||||||
5 | condition delivered to the Secretary in accordance | ||||||
6 | with Section 47 for the preceding quarter according to | ||||||
7 | the following schedule: 16¢ per $1,000 of the first | ||||||
8 | $5,000,000 of total assets, 15¢ per $1,000 of the next | ||||||
9 | $20,000,000 of total assets, 13¢ per $1,000 of the | ||||||
10 | next $75,000,000 of total assets, 9¢ per $1,000 of the | ||||||
11 | next $400,000,000 of total assets, 7¢ per $1,000 of | ||||||
12 | the next $500,000,000 of total assets, and 5¢ per | ||||||
13 | $1,000 of all assets in excess of $1,000,000,000, of | ||||||
14 | the State bank. The Call Report Fee shall be | ||||||
15 | calculated by the Secretary and billed to the banks | ||||||
16 | for remittance at the time of the quarterly statements | ||||||
17 | of condition provided for in Section 47. The Secretary | ||||||
18 | may require payment of the fees provided in this | ||||||
19 | Section by an electronic transfer of funds or an | ||||||
20 | automatic debit of an account of each of the State | ||||||
21 | banks. In case more than one examination of any bank is | ||||||
22 | deemed by the Secretary to be necessary in any | ||||||
23 | examination frequency cycle specified in subsection | ||||||
24 | 2(a) of this Section, and is performed at his | ||||||
25 | direction, the Secretary may assess a reasonable | ||||||
26 | additional fee to recover the cost of the additional |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | examination. In lieu of the method and amounts set | ||||||
2 | forth in this paragraph (a) for the calculation of the | ||||||
3 | Call Report Fee, the Secretary may specify by rule | ||||||
4 | that the Call Report Fees provided by this Section may | ||||||
5 | be assessed semiannually or some other period and may | ||||||
6 | provide in the rule the formula to be used for | ||||||
7 | calculating and assessing the periodic Call Report | ||||||
8 | Fees to be paid by State banks. | ||||||
9 | (a-1) If in the opinion of the Commissioner an | ||||||
10 | emergency exists or appears likely, the Commissioner | ||||||
11 | may assign an examiner or examiners to monitor the | ||||||
12 | affairs of a State bank with whatever frequency he | ||||||
13 | deems appropriate, including, but not limited to, a | ||||||
14 | daily basis. The reasonable and necessary expenses of | ||||||
15 | the Commissioner during the period of the monitoring | ||||||
16 | shall be borne by the subject bank. The Commissioner | ||||||
17 | shall furnish the State bank a statement of time and | ||||||
18 | expenses if requested to do so within 30 days of the | ||||||
19 | conclusion of the monitoring period. | ||||||
20 | (a-2) On and after January 1, 1990, the reasonable | ||||||
21 | and necessary expenses of the Commissioner during | ||||||
22 | examination of the performance of electronic data | ||||||
23 | processing services under subsection (2.5) shall be | ||||||
24 | borne by the banks for which the services are | ||||||
25 | provided. An amount, based upon a fee structure | ||||||
26 | prescribed by the Commissioner, shall be paid by the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | banks or, after May 31, 1997, branches of out-of-state | ||||||
2 | banks receiving the electronic data processing | ||||||
3 | services along with the Call Report Fee assessed under | ||||||
4 | paragraph (a) of this subsection (3). | ||||||
5 | (a-3) After May 31, 1997, the reasonable and | ||||||
6 | necessary expenses of the Commissioner during | ||||||
7 | examination of the performance of electronic data | ||||||
8 | processing services under subsection (2.5) at or on | ||||||
9 | behalf of branches of out-of-state banks shall be | ||||||
10 | borne by the out-of-state banks, unless those expenses | ||||||
11 | are borne by the state regulatory authorities that | ||||||
12 | chartered the out-of-state banks, as determined by | ||||||
13 | cooperative agreements between the Commissioner and | ||||||
14 | the state regulatory authorities that chartered the | ||||||
15 | out-of-state banks. | ||||||
16 | (b) "Fiscal year" for purposes of this Section 48 | ||||||
17 | is defined as a period beginning July 1 of any year and | ||||||
18 | ending June 30 of the next year. The Commissioner | ||||||
19 | shall receive for each fiscal year, commencing with | ||||||
20 | the fiscal year ending June 30, 1987, a contingent fee | ||||||
21 | equal to the lesser of the aggregate of the fees paid | ||||||
22 | by all State banks under paragraph (a) of subsection | ||||||
23 | (3) for that year, or the amount, if any, whereby the | ||||||
24 | aggregate of the administration expenses, as defined | ||||||
25 | in paragraph (c), for that fiscal year exceeds the sum | ||||||
26 | of the aggregate of the fees payable by all State banks |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | for that year under paragraph (a) of subsection (3), | ||||||
2 | plus any amounts transferred into the Bank and Trust | ||||||
3 | Company Fund from the State Pensions Fund for that | ||||||
4 | year, plus all other amounts collected by the | ||||||
5 | Commissioner for that year under any other provision | ||||||
6 | of this Act, plus the aggregate of all fees collected | ||||||
7 | for that year by the Commissioner under the Corporate | ||||||
8 | Fiduciary Act, excluding the receivership fees | ||||||
9 | provided for in Section 5-10 of the Corporate | ||||||
10 | Fiduciary Act, and the Foreign Banking Office Act. The | ||||||
11 | aggregate amount of the contingent fee thus arrived at | ||||||
12 | for any fiscal year shall be apportioned among, | ||||||
13 | assessed upon, and paid by the State banks and foreign | ||||||
14 | banking corporations, respectively, in the same | ||||||
15 | proportion that the fee of each under paragraph (a) of | ||||||
16 | subsection (3), respectively, for that year bears to | ||||||
17 | the aggregate for that year of the fees collected | ||||||
18 | under paragraph (a) of subsection (3). The aggregate | ||||||
19 | amount of the contingent fee, and the portion thereof | ||||||
20 | to be assessed upon each State bank and foreign | ||||||
21 | banking corporation, respectively, shall be determined | ||||||
22 | by the Commissioner and shall be paid by each, | ||||||
23 | respectively, within 120 days of the close of the | ||||||
24 | period for which the contingent fee is computed and is | ||||||
25 | payable, and the Commissioner shall give 20 days' | ||||||
26 | advance notice of the amount of the contingent fee |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | payable by the State bank and of the date fixed by the | ||||||
2 | Commissioner for payment of the fee. | ||||||
3 | (c) The "administration expenses" for any fiscal | ||||||
4 | year shall mean the ordinary and contingent expenses | ||||||
5 | for that year incident to making the examinations | ||||||
6 | provided for by, and for otherwise administering, this | ||||||
7 | Act, the Corporate Fiduciary Act, excluding the | ||||||
8 | expenses paid from the Corporate Fiduciary | ||||||
9 | Receivership account in the Bank and Trust Company | ||||||
10 | Fund, the Foreign Banking Office Act, the Electronic | ||||||
11 | Fund Transfer Act, and the Illinois Bank Examiners' | ||||||
12 | Education Foundation Act, including all salaries and | ||||||
13 | other compensation paid for personal services rendered | ||||||
14 | for the State by officers or employees of the State, | ||||||
15 | including the Commissioner and the Deputy | ||||||
16 | Commissioners, communication equipment and services, | ||||||
17 | office furnishings, surety bond premiums, and travel | ||||||
18 | expenses of those officers and employees, employees, | ||||||
19 | expenditures or charges for the acquisition, | ||||||
20 | enlargement or improvement of, or for the use of, any | ||||||
21 | office space, building, or structure, or expenditures | ||||||
22 | for the maintenance thereof or for furnishing heat, | ||||||
23 | light, or power with respect thereto, all to the | ||||||
24 | extent that those expenditures are directly incidental | ||||||
25 | to such examinations or administration. The | ||||||
26 | Commissioner shall not be required by paragraph (c) or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (d-1) of this subsection (3) to maintain in any fiscal | ||||||
2 | year's budget appropriated reserves for accrued | ||||||
3 | vacation and accrued sick leave that is required to be | ||||||
4 | paid to employees of the Commissioner upon termination | ||||||
5 | of their service with the Commissioner in an amount | ||||||
6 | that is more than is reasonably anticipated to be | ||||||
7 | necessary for any anticipated turnover in employees, | ||||||
8 | whether due to normal attrition or due to layoffs, | ||||||
9 | terminations, or resignations. | ||||||
10 | (c-1) At the conclusion of each fiscal year, | ||||||
11 | beginning in fiscal year 2025, the Department shall | ||||||
12 | separately identify the direct administrative and | ||||||
13 | operational expenses and allocable indirect costs of | ||||||
14 | the Division of Banking of the Department incidental | ||||||
15 | to conducting the examinations required or authorized | ||||||
16 | by the Illinois Community Reinvestment Act and | ||||||
17 | implementing rules adopted by the Department. Pursuant | ||||||
18 | to Section 2105-300 of the Department of Professional | ||||||
19 | Regulation Law of the Civil Administrative Code of | ||||||
20 | Illinois, the Department shall make copies of the | ||||||
21 | analyses available to the banking industry in a timely | ||||||
22 | manner. The administrative and operational expenses of | ||||||
23 | the Division of Banking of the Department in | ||||||
24 | conducting examinations required or authorized by the | ||||||
25 | Illinois Community Reinvestment Act shall have the | ||||||
26 | same meaning and scope as the administration expenses |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of the Division of Banking of the Department, as | ||||||
2 | defined in paragraph (c) of subsection (3). | ||||||
3 | (d) The aggregate of all fees collected by the | ||||||
4 | Secretary under this Act, the Corporate Fiduciary Act, | ||||||
5 | or the Foreign Banking Office Act on and after July 1, | ||||||
6 | 1979, and from State banks and savings banks pursuant | ||||||
7 | to the Illinois Community Reinvestment Act shall be | ||||||
8 | paid promptly after receipt of the same, accompanied | ||||||
9 | by a detailed statement thereof, into the State | ||||||
10 | treasury and shall be set apart in a special fund to be | ||||||
11 | known as the Bank and Trust Company Fund, except as | ||||||
12 | provided in paragraph (c) of subsection (11) of this | ||||||
13 | Section. All earnings received from investments of | ||||||
14 | funds in the Bank and Trust Company Fund shall be | ||||||
15 | deposited into the Bank and Trust Company Fund and may | ||||||
16 | be used for the same purposes as fees deposited into | ||||||
17 | that Fund. The amount from time to time deposited into | ||||||
18 | the Bank and Trust Company Fund shall be used: (i) to | ||||||
19 | offset the ordinary administrative expenses of the | ||||||
20 | Secretary as defined in this Section or (ii) as a | ||||||
21 | credit against fees under paragraph (d-1) of this | ||||||
22 | subsection (3). Nothing in Public Act 81-131 shall | ||||||
23 | prevent continuing the practice of paying expenses | ||||||
24 | involving salaries, retirement, social security, and | ||||||
25 | State-paid insurance premiums of State officers by | ||||||
26 | appropriations from the General Revenue Fund. However, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the General Revenue Fund shall be reimbursed for those | ||||||
2 | payments made on and after July 1, 1979, by an annual | ||||||
3 | transfer of funds from the Bank and Trust Company | ||||||
4 | Fund. Moneys in the Bank and Trust Company Fund may be | ||||||
5 | transferred to the Professions Indirect Cost Fund, as | ||||||
6 | authorized under Section 2105-300 of the Department of | ||||||
7 | Professional Regulation Law of the Civil | ||||||
8 | Administrative Code of Illinois. | ||||||
9 | Notwithstanding provisions in the State Finance | ||||||
10 | Act, as now or hereafter amended, or any other law to | ||||||
11 | the contrary, the Governor may, during any fiscal year | ||||||
12 | through January 10, 2011, from time to time direct the | ||||||
13 | State Treasurer and Comptroller to transfer a | ||||||
14 | specified sum not exceeding 10% of the revenues to be | ||||||
15 | deposited into the Bank and Trust Company Fund during | ||||||
16 | that fiscal year from that Fund to the General Revenue | ||||||
17 | Fund in order to help defray the State's operating | ||||||
18 | costs for the fiscal year. Notwithstanding provisions | ||||||
19 | in the State Finance Act, as now or hereafter amended, | ||||||
20 | or any other law to the contrary, the total sum | ||||||
21 | transferred during any fiscal year through January 10, | ||||||
22 | 2011, from the Bank and Trust Company Fund to the | ||||||
23 | General Revenue Fund pursuant to this provision shall | ||||||
24 | not exceed during any fiscal year 10% of the revenues | ||||||
25 | to be deposited into the Bank and Trust Company Fund | ||||||
26 | during that fiscal year. The State Treasurer and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Comptroller shall transfer the amounts designated | ||||||
2 | under this Section as soon as may be practicable after | ||||||
3 | receiving the direction to transfer from the Governor. | ||||||
4 | (d-1) Adequate funds shall be available in the | ||||||
5 | Bank and Trust Company Fund to permit the timely | ||||||
6 | payment of administration expenses. In each fiscal | ||||||
7 | year the total administration expenses shall be | ||||||
8 | deducted from the total fees collected by the | ||||||
9 | Commissioner and the remainder transferred into the | ||||||
10 | Cash Flow Reserve Account, unless the balance of the | ||||||
11 | Cash Flow Reserve Account prior to the transfer equals | ||||||
12 | or exceeds one-fourth of the total initial | ||||||
13 | appropriations from the Bank and Trust Company Fund | ||||||
14 | for the subsequent year, in which case the remainder | ||||||
15 | shall be credited to State banks and foreign banking | ||||||
16 | corporations and applied against their fees for the | ||||||
17 | subsequent year. The amount credited to each State | ||||||
18 | bank and foreign banking corporation shall be in the | ||||||
19 | same proportion as the Call Report Fees paid by each | ||||||
20 | for the year bear to the total Call Report Fees | ||||||
21 | collected for the year. If, after a transfer to the | ||||||
22 | Cash Flow Reserve Account is made or if no remainder is | ||||||
23 | available for transfer, the balance of the Cash Flow | ||||||
24 | Reserve Account is less than one-fourth of the total | ||||||
25 | initial appropriations for the subsequent year and the | ||||||
26 | amount transferred is less than 5% of the total Call |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Report Fees for the year, additional amounts needed to | ||||||
2 | make the transfer equal to 5% of the total Call Report | ||||||
3 | Fees for the year shall be apportioned among, assessed | ||||||
4 | upon, and paid by the State banks and foreign banking | ||||||
5 | corporations in the same proportion that the Call | ||||||
6 | Report Fees of each, respectively, for the year bear | ||||||
7 | to the total Call Report Fees collected for the year. | ||||||
8 | The additional amounts assessed shall be transferred | ||||||
9 | into the Cash Flow Reserve Account. For purposes of | ||||||
10 | this paragraph (d-1), the calculation of the fees | ||||||
11 | collected by the Commissioner shall exclude the | ||||||
12 | receivership fees provided for in Section 5-10 of the | ||||||
13 | Corporate Fiduciary Act. | ||||||
14 | (e) The Commissioner may upon request certify to | ||||||
15 | any public record in his keeping and shall have | ||||||
16 | authority to levy a reasonable charge for issuing | ||||||
17 | certifications of any public record in his keeping. | ||||||
18 | (f) In addition to fees authorized elsewhere in | ||||||
19 | this Act, the Commissioner may, in connection with a | ||||||
20 | review, approval, or provision of a service, levy a | ||||||
21 | reasonable charge to recover the cost of the review, | ||||||
22 | approval, or service. | ||||||
23 | (4) Nothing contained in this Act shall be construed | ||||||
24 | to limit the obligation relative to examinations and | ||||||
25 | reports of any State bank, deposits in which are to any | ||||||
26 | extent insured by the United States or any agency thereof, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | nor to limit in any way the powers of the Commissioner with | ||||||
2 | reference to examinations and reports of that bank. | ||||||
3 | (5) The nature and condition of the assets in or | ||||||
4 | investment of any bonus, pension, or profit sharing plan | ||||||
5 | for officers or employees of every State bank or, after | ||||||
6 | May 31, 1997, branch of an out-of-state bank shall be | ||||||
7 | deemed to be included in the affairs of that State bank or | ||||||
8 | branch of an out-of-state bank subject to examination by | ||||||
9 | the Commissioner under the provisions of subsection (2) of | ||||||
10 | this Section, and if the Commissioner shall find from an | ||||||
11 | examination that the condition of or operation of the | ||||||
12 | investments or assets of the plan is unlawful, fraudulent, | ||||||
13 | or unsafe, or that any trustee has abused his trust, the | ||||||
14 | Commissioner shall, if the situation so found by the | ||||||
15 | Commissioner shall not be corrected to his satisfaction | ||||||
16 | within 60 days after the Commissioner has given notice to | ||||||
17 | the board of directors of the State bank or out-of-state | ||||||
18 | bank of his findings, report the facts to the Attorney | ||||||
19 | General who shall thereupon institute proceedings against | ||||||
20 | the State bank or out-of-state bank, the board of | ||||||
21 | directors thereof, or the trustees under such plan as the | ||||||
22 | nature of the case may require. | ||||||
23 | (6) The Commissioner shall have the power: | ||||||
24 | (a) To promulgate reasonable rules for the purpose | ||||||
25 | of administering the provisions of this Act. | ||||||
26 | (a-5) To impose conditions on any approval issued |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | by the Commissioner if he determines that the | ||||||
2 | conditions are necessary or appropriate. These | ||||||
3 | conditions shall be imposed in writing and shall | ||||||
4 | continue in effect for the period prescribed by the | ||||||
5 | Commissioner. | ||||||
6 | (b) To issue orders against any person, if the | ||||||
7 | Commissioner has reasonable cause to believe that an | ||||||
8 | unsafe or unsound banking practice has occurred, is | ||||||
9 | occurring, or is about to occur, if any person has | ||||||
10 | violated, is violating, or is about to violate any | ||||||
11 | law, rule, or written agreement with the Commissioner, | ||||||
12 | or for the purpose of administering the provisions of | ||||||
13 | this Act and any rule promulgated in accordance with | ||||||
14 | this Act. | ||||||
15 | (b-1) To enter into agreements with a bank | ||||||
16 | establishing a program to correct the condition of the | ||||||
17 | bank or its practices. | ||||||
18 | (c) To appoint hearing officers to execute any of | ||||||
19 | the powers granted to the Commissioner under this | ||||||
20 | Section for the purpose of administering this Act and | ||||||
21 | any rule promulgated in accordance with this Act and | ||||||
22 | otherwise to authorize, in writing, an officer or | ||||||
23 | employee of the Office of Banks and Real Estate to | ||||||
24 | exercise his powers under this Act. | ||||||
25 | (d) To subpoena witnesses, to compel their | ||||||
26 | attendance, to administer an oath, to examine any |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | person under oath, and to require the production of | ||||||
2 | any relevant books, papers, accounts, and documents in | ||||||
3 | the course of and pursuant to any investigation being | ||||||
4 | conducted, or any action being taken, by the | ||||||
5 | Commissioner in respect of any matter relating to the | ||||||
6 | duties imposed upon, or the powers vested in, the | ||||||
7 | Commissioner under the provisions of this Act or any | ||||||
8 | rule promulgated in accordance with this Act. | ||||||
9 | (e) To conduct hearings. | ||||||
10 | (7) Whenever, in the opinion of the Secretary, any | ||||||
11 | director, officer, employee, or agent of a State bank or | ||||||
12 | any subsidiary or bank holding company of the bank or, | ||||||
13 | after May 31, 1997, of any branch of an out-of-state bank | ||||||
14 | or any subsidiary or bank holding company of the bank | ||||||
15 | shall have violated any law, rule, or order relating to | ||||||
16 | that bank or any subsidiary or bank holding company of the | ||||||
17 | bank, shall have obstructed or impeded any examination or | ||||||
18 | investigation by the Secretary, shall have engaged in an | ||||||
19 | unsafe or unsound practice in conducting the business of | ||||||
20 | that bank or any subsidiary or bank holding company of the | ||||||
21 | bank, or shall have violated any law or engaged or | ||||||
22 | participated in any unsafe or unsound practice in | ||||||
23 | connection with any financial institution or other | ||||||
24 | business entity such that the character and fitness of the | ||||||
25 | director, officer, employee, or agent does not assure | ||||||
26 | reasonable promise of safe and sound operation of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | State bank, the Secretary may issue an order of removal. | ||||||
2 | If, in the opinion of the Secretary, any former director, | ||||||
3 | officer, employee, or agent of a State bank or any | ||||||
4 | subsidiary or bank holding company of the bank, prior to | ||||||
5 | the termination of his or her service with that bank or any | ||||||
6 | subsidiary or bank holding company of the bank, violated | ||||||
7 | any law, rule, or order relating to that State bank or any | ||||||
8 | subsidiary or bank holding company of the bank, obstructed | ||||||
9 | or impeded any examination or investigation by the | ||||||
10 | Secretary, engaged in an unsafe or unsound practice in | ||||||
11 | conducting the business of that bank or any subsidiary or | ||||||
12 | bank holding company of the bank, or violated any law or | ||||||
13 | engaged or participated in any unsafe or unsound practice | ||||||
14 | in connection with any financial institution or other | ||||||
15 | business entity such that the character and fitness of the | ||||||
16 | director, officer, employee, or agent would not have | ||||||
17 | assured reasonable promise of safe and sound operation of | ||||||
18 | the State bank, the Secretary may issue an order | ||||||
19 | prohibiting that person from further service with a bank | ||||||
20 | or any subsidiary or bank holding company of the bank as a | ||||||
21 | director, officer, employee, or agent. An order issued | ||||||
22 | pursuant to this subsection shall be served upon the | ||||||
23 | director, officer, employee, or agent. A copy of the order | ||||||
24 | shall be sent to each director of the bank affected by | ||||||
25 | registered mail. A copy of the order shall also be served | ||||||
26 | upon the bank of which he is a director, officer, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | employee, or agent, whereupon he shall cease to be a | ||||||
2 | director, officer, employee, or agent of that bank. The | ||||||
3 | Secretary may institute a civil action against the | ||||||
4 | director, officer, or agent of the State bank or, after | ||||||
5 | May 31, 1997, of the branch of the out-of-state bank | ||||||
6 | against whom any order provided for by this subsection (7) | ||||||
7 | of this Section 48 has been issued, and against the State | ||||||
8 | bank or, after May 31, 1997, out-of-state bank, to enforce | ||||||
9 | compliance with or to enjoin any violation of the terms of | ||||||
10 | the order. Any person who has been the subject of an order | ||||||
11 | of removal or an order of prohibition issued by the | ||||||
12 | Secretary under this subsection or Section 5-6 of the | ||||||
13 | Corporate Fiduciary Act may not thereafter serve as | ||||||
14 | director, officer, employee, or agent of any State bank or | ||||||
15 | of any branch of any out-of-state bank, or of any | ||||||
16 | corporate fiduciary, as defined in Section 1-5.05 of the | ||||||
17 | Corporate Fiduciary Act, or of any other entity that is | ||||||
18 | subject to licensure or regulation by the Division of | ||||||
19 | Banking unless the Secretary has granted prior approval in | ||||||
20 | writing. | ||||||
21 | For purposes of this paragraph (7), "bank holding | ||||||
22 | company" has the meaning prescribed in Section 2 of the | ||||||
23 | Illinois Bank Holding Company Act of 1957. | ||||||
24 | (7.5) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, | ||||||
25 | the Secretary shall not: | ||||||
26 | (1) issue an order against a State bank or any |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | subsidiary organized under this Act for unsafe or | ||||||
2 | unsound banking practices solely because the entity | ||||||
3 | provides or has provided financial services to a | ||||||
4 | cannabis-related legitimate business; | ||||||

5 | (c) A credit union providing financial records of a | ||||||
6 | member in good faith relying on a consent and | ||||||
7 | authorization executed and tendered in accordance with | ||||||
8 | this item (17) shall not be liable to the member or any | ||||||
9 | other person in relation to the credit union's disclosure | ||||||
10 | of the member's financial records to the Department. The | ||||||
11 | member signing the consent and authorization shall | ||||||
12 | indemnify and hold the credit union harmless that relies | ||||||
13 | in good faith upon the consent and authorization and | ||||||
14 | incurs a loss because of such reliance. The credit union | ||||||
15 | recovering under this indemnification provision shall also | ||||||
16 | be entitled to reasonable attorney's fees and the expenses | ||||||
17 | of recovery. | ||||||
18 | (d) A credit union shall be reimbursed by the member | ||||||
19 | for all costs reasonably necessary and directly incurred | ||||||
20 | in searching for, reproducing, and disclosing a member's | ||||||
21 | financial records required or requested to be produced | ||||||
22 | pursuant to any consent and authorization executed under | ||||||
23 | this item (17). The requested financial records shall be | ||||||
24 | delivered to the Department within 10 days after receiving | ||||||
25 | a properly executed consent and authorization or at the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | earliest practicable time thereafter if the requested | ||||||
2 | records cannot be delivered within 10 days, but delivery | ||||||
3 | may be delayed until the final reimbursement of all costs | ||||||
4 | is received by the credit union. The credit union may | ||||||
5 | honor a photostatic or electronic copy of a properly | ||||||
6 | executed consent and authorization. | ||||||
7 | (e) Nothing in this item (17) shall impair, abridge, | ||||||

9 | (1) directly disclose his or her financial records | ||||||
10 | to the Department or any other person; or | ||||||
11 | (2) authorize his or her attorney or duly | ||||||

20 | member to an appropriate law enforcement authority, | ||||||

22 | written request of the law enforcement authority, when | ||||||
23 | reasonable suspicion of an imminent threat to the personal | ||||||
24 | security and safety of the member exists that necessitates | ||||||
25 | an expedited release of the member's financial records, as | ||||||
26 | determined by the law enforcement authority. The law |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | enforcement authority shall include a brief explanation of | ||||||
2 | the imminent threat to the member in its written request | ||||||
3 | to the credit union. The written request shall reflect | ||||||
4 | that it has been authorized by a supervisory or managerial | ||||||
5 | official of the law enforcement authority. The decision to | ||||||
6 | furnish the financial records of a member to a law | ||||||
7 | enforcement authority shall be made by a supervisory or | ||||||
8 | managerial official of the credit union. A credit union | ||||||
9 | providing information in accordance with this item (18) | ||||||
10 | shall not be liable to the member or any other person for | ||||||

21 | (1) the member has authorized disclosure to the | ||||||
22 | person; | ||||||
23 | (2) the financial records are disclosed in response to | ||||||
24 | a lawful subpoena, summons, warrant, citation to discover | ||||||
25 | assets, or court order that meets the requirements of | ||||||
26 | subparagraph (3)(d) of this Section; or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (3) the credit union is attempting to collect an | ||||||
2 | obligation owed to the credit union and the credit union | ||||||
3 | complies with the provisions of Section 2I of the Consumer | ||||||
4 | Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act. | ||||||
5 | (d) A credit union shall disclose financial records under | ||||||
6 | item (3)(c)(2) of this Section pursuant to a lawful subpoena, | ||||||
7 | summons, warrant, citation to discover assets, or court order | ||||||
8 | only after the credit union sends a copy of the subpoena, | ||||||
9 | summons, warrant, citation to discover assets, or court order | ||||||
10 | to the person establishing the relationship with the credit | ||||||
11 | union, if living, and otherwise the person's personal | ||||||
12 | representative, if known, at the person's last known address | ||||||
13 | by first class mail, postage prepaid, through a third-party | ||||||
14 | commercial carrier or courier with delivery charge fully | ||||||

20 | consumer, the person has consented under the consumer consent | ||||||
21 | provisions set forth in Section 7001 of Title 15 of the United | ||||||
22 | States Code), unless the credit union is specifically | ||||||
23 | prohibited from notifying the person by order of court or by | ||||||
24 | applicable State or federal law. In the case of a grand jury | ||||||
25 | subpoena, a credit union shall not mail a copy of a subpoena to | ||||||
26 | any person pursuant to this subsection if the subpoena was |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | issued by a grand jury under the Statewide Grand Jury Act or | ||||||
2 | notifying the person would constitute a violation of the | ||||||
3 | federal Right to Financial Privacy Act of 1978. | ||||||
4 | (e)(1) Any officer or employee of a credit union who | ||||||
5 | knowingly and willfully furnishes financial records in | ||||||
6 | violation of this Section is guilty of a business offense and | ||||||
7 | upon conviction thereof shall be fined not more than $1,000. | ||||||
8 | (2) Any person who knowingly and willfully induces or | ||||||
9 | attempts to induce any officer or employee of a credit union to | ||||||
10 | disclose financial records in violation of this Section is | ||||||
11 | guilty of a business offense and upon conviction thereof shall | ||||||
12 | be fined not more than $1,000. | ||||||
13 | (f) A credit union shall be reimbursed for costs which are | ||||||
14 | reasonably necessary and which have been directly incurred in | ||||||
15 | searching for, reproducing or transporting books, papers, | ||||||
16 | records or other data of a member required or requested to be | ||||||
17 | produced pursuant to a lawful subpoena, summons, warrant, | ||||||
18 | citation to discover assets, or court order. The Secretary and | ||||||
19 | the Director may determine, by rule, the rates and conditions | ||||||
20 | under which payment shall be made. Delivery of requested | ||||||
21 | documents may be delayed until final reimbursement of all | ||||||
22 | costs is received. | ||||||
