HB5342 Enrolled LRB098 19293 ZMM 55277 b
AN ACT concerning regulation.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 3. The Illinois Banking Act is amended by changing
Section 48 as follows:
(205 ILCS 5/48)
Sec. 48. Secretary's powers; duties. The Secretary shall
have the powers and authority, and is charged with the duties
and responsibilities designated in this Act, and a State bank
shall not be subject to any other visitorial power other than
as authorized by this Act, except those vested in the courts,
or upon prior consultation with the Secretary, a foreign bank
regulator with an appropriate supervisory interest in the
parent or affiliate of a state bank. In the performance of the
Secretary's duties:
(1) The Commissioner shall call for statements from all
State banks as provided in Section 47 at least one time during
each calendar quarter.
(2) (a) The Commissioner, as often as the Commissioner
shall deem necessary or proper, and no less frequently than 18
months following the preceding examination, shall appoint a
suitable person or persons to make an examination of the
affairs of every State bank, except that for every eligible

HB5342 Enrolled - 2 - LRB098 19293 ZMM 55277 b
State bank, as defined by regulation, the Commissioner in lieu
of the examination may accept on an alternating basis the
examination made by the eligible State bank's appropriate
federal banking agency pursuant to Section 111 of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991,
provided the appropriate federal banking agency has made such
an examination. A person so appointed shall not be a
stockholder or officer or employee of any bank which that
person may be directed to examine, and shall have powers to
make a thorough examination into all the affairs of the bank
and in so doing to examine any of the officers or agents or
employees thereof on oath and shall make a full and detailed
report of the condition of the bank to the Commissioner. In
making the examination the examiners shall include an
examination of the affairs of all the affiliates of the bank,
as defined in subsection (b) of Section 35.2 of this Act, or
subsidiaries of the bank as shall be necessary to disclose
fully the conditions of the subsidiaries or affiliates, the
relations between the bank and the subsidiaries or affiliates
and the effect of those relations upon the affairs of the bank,
and in connection therewith shall have power to examine any of
the officers, directors, agents, or employees of the
subsidiaries or affiliates on oath. After May 31, 1997, the
Commissioner may enter into cooperative agreements with state
regulatory authorities of other states to provide for
examination of State bank branches in those states, and the

HB5342 Enrolled - 3 - LRB098 19293 ZMM 55277 b
Commissioner may accept reports of examinations of State bank
branches from those state regulatory authorities. These
cooperative agreements may set forth the manner in which the
other state regulatory authorities may be compensated for
examinations prepared for and submitted to the Commissioner.
(b) After May 31, 1997, the Commissioner is authorized to
examine, as often as the Commissioner shall deem necessary or
proper, branches of out-of-state banks. The Commissioner may
establish and may assess fees to be paid to the Commissioner
for examinations under this subsection (b). The fees shall be
borne by the out-of-state bank, unless the fees are borne by
the state regulatory authority that chartered the out-of-state
bank, as determined by a cooperative agreement between the
Commissioner and the state regulatory authority that chartered
the out-of-state bank.
(2.1) Pursuant to paragraph (a) of subsection (6) of this
Section, the Secretary shall adopt rules that ensure
consistency and due process in the examination process. The
Secretary may also establish guidelines that (i) define the
scope of the examination process and (ii) clarify examination
items to be resolved. The rules, formal guidance, interpretive
letters, or opinions furnished to State banks by the Secretary
may be relied upon by the State banks.
(2.5) Whenever any State bank, any subsidiary or affiliate
of a State bank, or after May 31, 1997, any branch of an
out-of-state bank causes to be performed, by contract or

HB5342 Enrolled - 4 - LRB098 19293 ZMM 55277 b
otherwise, any bank services for itself, whether on or off its
premises:
(a) that performance shall be subject to examination by
the Commissioner to the same extent as if services were
being performed by the bank or, after May 31, 1997, branch
of the out-of-state bank itself on its own premises; and
(b) the bank or, after May 31, 1997, branch of the
out-of-state bank shall notify the Commissioner of the
existence of a service relationship. The notification
shall be submitted with the first statement of condition
(as required by Section 47 of this Act) due after the
making of the service contract or the performance of the
service, whichever occurs first. The Commissioner shall be
notified of each subsequent contract in the same manner.
For purposes of this subsection (2.5), the term "bank
services" means services such as sorting and posting of checks
and deposits, computation and posting of interest and other
credits and charges, preparation and mailing of checks,
statements, notices, and similar items, or any other clerical,
bookkeeping, accounting, statistical, or similar functions
performed for a State bank, including but not limited to
electronic data processing related to those bank services.
(3) The expense of administering this Act, including the
expense of the examinations of State banks as provided in this
Act, shall to the extent of the amounts resulting from the fees
provided for in paragraphs (a), (a-2), and (b) of this

HB5342 Enrolled - 5 - LRB098 19293 ZMM 55277 b
subsection (3) be assessed against and borne by the State
banks:
(a) Each bank shall pay to the Secretary a Call Report
Fee which shall be paid in quarterly installments equal to
one-fourth of the sum of the annual fixed fee of $800, plus
a variable fee based on the assets shown on the quarterly
statement of condition delivered to the Secretary in
accordance with Section 47 for the preceding quarter
according to the following schedule: 16¢ per $1,000 of the
first $5,000,000 of total assets, 15¢ per $1,000 of the
next $20,000,000 of total assets, 13¢ per $1,000 of the
next $75,000,000 of total assets, 9¢ per $1,000 of the next
$400,000,000 of total assets, 7¢ per $1,000 of the next
$500,000,000 of total assets, and 5¢ per $1,000 of all
assets in excess of $1,000,000,000, of the State bank. The
Call Report Fee shall be calculated by the Secretary and
billed to the banks for remittance at the time of the
quarterly statements of condition provided for in Section
47. The Secretary may require payment of the fees provided
in this Section by an electronic transfer of funds or an
automatic debit of an account of each of the State banks.
In case more than one examination of any bank is deemed by
the Secretary to be necessary in any examination frequency
cycle specified in subsection 2(a) of this Section, and is
performed at his direction, the Secretary may assess a
reasonable additional fee to recover the cost of the

HB5342 Enrolled - 6 - LRB098 19293 ZMM 55277 b
additional examination; provided, however, that an
examination conducted at the request of the State Treasurer
pursuant to the Uniform Disposition of Unclaimed Property
Act shall not be deemed to be an additional examination
under this Section. In lieu of the method and amounts set
forth in this paragraph (a) for the calculation of the Call
Report Fee, the Secretary may specify by rule that the Call
Report Fees provided by this Section may be assessed
semiannually or some other period and may provide in the
rule the formula to be used for calculating and assessing
the periodic Call Report Fees to be paid by State banks.
(a-1) If in the opinion of the Commissioner an
emergency exists or appears likely, the Commissioner may
assign an examiner or examiners to monitor the affairs of a
State bank with whatever frequency he deems appropriate,
including but not limited to a daily basis. The reasonable
and necessary expenses of the Commissioner during the
period of the monitoring shall be borne by the subject
bank. The Commissioner shall furnish the State bank a
statement of time and expenses if requested to do so within
30 days of the conclusion of the monitoring period.
(a-2) On and after January 1, 1990, the reasonable and
necessary expenses of the Commissioner during examination
of the performance of electronic data processing services
under subsection (2.5) shall be borne by the banks for
which the services are provided. An amount, based upon a

HB5342 Enrolled - 7 - LRB098 19293 ZMM 55277 b
fee structure prescribed by the Commissioner, shall be paid
by the banks or, after May 31, 1997, branches of
out-of-state banks receiving the electronic data
processing services along with the Call Report Fee assessed
under paragraph (a) of this subsection (3).
(a-3) After May 31, 1997, the reasonable and necessary
expenses of the Commissioner during examination of the
performance of electronic data processing services under
subsection (2.5) at or on behalf of branches of
out-of-state banks shall be borne by the out-of-state
banks, unless those expenses are borne by the state
regulatory authorities that chartered the out-of-state
banks, as determined by cooperative agreements between the
Commissioner and the state regulatory authorities that
chartered the out-of-state banks.
(b) "Fiscal year" for purposes of this Section 48 is
defined as a period beginning July 1 of any year and ending
June 30 of the next year. The Commissioner shall receive
for each fiscal year, commencing with the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1987, a contingent fee equal to the lesser
of the aggregate of the fees paid by all State banks under
paragraph (a) of subsection (3) for that year, or the
amount, if any, whereby the aggregate of the administration
expenses, as defined in paragraph (c), for that fiscal year
exceeds the sum of the aggregate of the fees payable by all
State banks for that year under paragraph (a) of subsection

HB5342 Enrolled - 8 - LRB098 19293 ZMM 55277 b
(3), plus any amounts transferred into the Bank and Trust
Company Fund from the State Pensions Fund for that year,
plus all other amounts collected by the Commissioner for
that year under any other provision of this Act, plus the
aggregate of all fees collected for that year by the
Commissioner under the Corporate Fiduciary Act, excluding
the receivership fees provided for in Section 5-10 of the
Corporate Fiduciary Act, and the Foreign Banking Office
Act. The aggregate amount of the contingent fee thus
arrived at for any fiscal year shall be apportioned
amongst, assessed upon, and paid by the State banks and
foreign banking corporations, respectively, in the same
proportion that the fee of each under paragraph (a) of
subsection (3), respectively, for that year bears to the
aggregate for that year of the fees collected under
paragraph (a) of subsection (3). The aggregate amount of
the contingent fee, and the portion thereof to be assessed
upon each State bank and foreign banking corporation,
respectively, shall be determined by the Commissioner and
shall be paid by each, respectively, within 120 days of the
close of the period for which the contingent fee is
computed and is payable, and the Commissioner shall give 20
days advance notice of the amount of the contingent fee
payable by the State bank and of the date fixed by the
Commissioner for payment of the fee.
(c) The "administration expenses" for any fiscal year

HB5342 Enrolled - 9 - LRB098 19293 ZMM 55277 b
shall mean the ordinary and contingent expenses for that
year incident to making the examinations provided for by,
and for otherwise administering, this Act, the Corporate
Fiduciary Act, excluding the expenses paid from the
Corporate Fiduciary Receivership account in the Bank and
Trust Company Fund, the Foreign Banking Office Act, the
Electronic Fund Transfer Act, and the Illinois Bank
Examiners' Education Foundation Act, including all
salaries and other compensation paid for personal services
rendered for the State by officers or employees of the
State, including the Commissioner and the Deputy
Commissioners, communication equipment and services,
office furnishings, surety bond premiums, and travel
expenses of those officers and employees, employees,
expenditures or charges for the acquisition, enlargement
or improvement of, or for the use of, any office space,
building, or structure, or expenditures for the
maintenance thereof or for furnishing heat, light, or power
with respect thereto, all to the extent that those
expenditures are directly incidental to such examinations
or administration. The Commissioner shall not be required
by paragraphs (c) or (d-1) of this subsection (3) to
maintain in any fiscal year's budget appropriated reserves
for accrued vacation and accrued sick leave that is
required to be paid to employees of the Commissioner upon
termination of their service with the Commissioner in an

HB5342 Enrolled - 10 - LRB098 19293 ZMM 55277 b
amount that is more than is reasonably anticipated to be
necessary for any anticipated turnover in employees,
whether due to normal attrition or due to layoffs,
terminations, or resignations.
(d) The aggregate of all fees collected by the
Secretary under this Act, the Corporate Fiduciary Act, or
the Foreign Banking Office Act on and after July 1, 1979,
shall be paid promptly after receipt of the same,
accompanied by a detailed statement thereof, into the State
treasury and shall be set apart in a special fund to be
known as the "Bank and Trust Company Fund", except as
provided in paragraph (c) of subsection (11) of this
Section. All earnings received from investments of funds in
the Bank and Trust Company Fund shall be deposited in the
Bank and Trust Company Fund and may be used for the same
purposes as fees deposited in that Fund. The amount from
time to time deposited into the Bank and Trust Company Fund
shall be used: (i) to offset the ordinary administrative
expenses of the Secretary as defined in this Section or
(ii) as a credit against fees under paragraph (d-1) of this
subsection (3). Nothing in this amendatory Act of 1979
shall prevent continuing the practice of paying expenses
involving salaries, retirement, social security, and
State-paid insurance premiums of State officers by
appropriations from the General Revenue Fund. However, the
General Revenue Fund shall be reimbursed for those payments

HB5342 Enrolled - 11 - LRB098 19293 ZMM 55277 b
made on and after July 1, 1979, by an annual transfer of
funds from the Bank and Trust Company Fund. Moneys in the
Bank and Trust Company Fund may be transferred to the
Professions Indirect Cost Fund, as authorized under
Section 2105-300 of the Department of Professional
Regulation Law of the Civil Administrative Code of
Illinois.
Notwithstanding provisions in the State Finance Act,
as now or hereafter amended, or any other law to the
contrary, the sum of $18,788,847 shall be transferred from
the Bank and Trust Company Fund to the Financial
Institutions Settlement of 2008 Fund on the effective date
of this amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly, or as
soon thereafter as practical.
Notwithstanding provisions in the State Finance Act,
as now or hereafter amended, or any other law to the
contrary, the Governor may, during any fiscal year through
January 10, 2011, from time to time direct the State
Treasurer and Comptroller to transfer a specified sum not
exceeding 10% of the revenues to be deposited into the Bank
and Trust Company Fund during that fiscal year from that
Fund to the General Revenue Fund in order to help defray
the State's operating costs for the fiscal year.
Notwithstanding provisions in the State Finance Act, as now
or hereafter amended, or any other law to the contrary, the
total sum transferred during any fiscal year through

HB5342 Enrolled - 12 - LRB098 19293 ZMM 55277 b
January 10, 2011, from the Bank and Trust Company Fund to
the General Revenue Fund pursuant to this provision shall
not exceed during any fiscal year 10% of the revenues to be
deposited into the Bank and Trust Company Fund during that
fiscal year. The State Treasurer and Comptroller shall
transfer the amounts designated under this Section as soon
as may be practicable after receiving the direction to
transfer from the Governor.
(d-1) Adequate funds shall be available in the Bank and
Trust Company Fund to permit the timely payment of
administration expenses. In each fiscal year the total
administration expenses shall be deducted from the total
fees collected by the Commissioner and the remainder
transferred into the Cash Flow Reserve Account, unless the
balance of the Cash Flow Reserve Account prior to the
transfer equals or exceeds one-fourth of the total initial
appropriations from the Bank and Trust Company Fund for the
subsequent year, in which case the remainder shall be
credited to State banks and foreign banking corporations
and applied against their fees for the subsequent year. The
amount credited to each State bank and foreign banking
corporation shall be in the same proportion as the Call
Report Fees paid by each for the year bear to the total
Call Report Fees collected for the year. If, after a
transfer to the Cash Flow Reserve Account is made or if no
remainder is available for transfer, the balance of the

HB5342 Enrolled - 13 - LRB098 19293 ZMM 55277 b
Cash Flow Reserve Account is less than one-fourth of the
total initial appropriations for the subsequent year and
the amount transferred is less than 5% of the total Call
Report Fees for the year, additional amounts needed to make
the transfer equal to 5% of the total Call Report Fees for
the year shall be apportioned amongst, assessed upon, and
paid by the State banks and foreign banking corporations in
the same proportion that the Call Report Fees of each,
respectively, for the year bear to the total Call Report
Fees collected for the year. The additional amounts
assessed shall be transferred into the Cash Flow Reserve
Account. For purposes of this paragraph (d-1), the
calculation of the fees collected by the Commissioner shall
exclude the receivership fees provided for in Section 5-10
of the Corporate Fiduciary Act.
(e) The Commissioner may upon request certify to any
public record in his keeping and shall have authority to
levy a reasonable charge for issuing certifications of any
public record in his keeping.
(f) In addition to fees authorized elsewhere in this
Act, the Commissioner may, in connection with a review,
approval, or provision of a service, levy a reasonable
charge to recover the cost of the review, approval, or
service.
(4) Nothing contained in this Act shall be construed to
limit the obligation relative to examinations and reports of

HB5342 Enrolled - 14 - LRB098 19293 ZMM 55277 b
any State bank, deposits in which are to any extent insured by
the United States or any agency thereof, nor to limit in any
way the powers of the Commissioner with reference to
examinations and reports of that bank.
(5) The nature and condition of the assets in or investment
of any bonus, pension, or profit sharing plan for officers or
employees of every State bank or, after May 31, 1997, branch of
an out-of-state bank shall be deemed to be included in the
affairs of that State bank or branch of an out-of-state bank
subject to examination by the Commissioner under the provisions
of subsection (2) of this Section, and if the Commissioner
shall find from an examination that the condition of or
operation of the investments or assets of the plan is unlawful,
fraudulent, or unsafe, or that any trustee has abused his
trust, the Commissioner shall, if the situation so found by the
Commissioner shall not be corrected to his satisfaction within
60 days after the Commissioner has given notice to the board of
directors of the State bank or out-of-state bank of his
findings, report the facts to the Attorney General who shall
thereupon institute proceedings against the State bank or
out-of-state bank, the board of directors thereof, or the
trustees under such plan as the nature of the case may require.
(6) The Commissioner shall have the power:
(a) To promulgate reasonable rules for the purpose of
administering the provisions of this Act.
(a-5) To impose conditions on any approval issued by

HB5342 Enrolled - 15 - LRB098 19293 ZMM 55277 b
the Commissioner if he determines that the conditions are
necessary or appropriate. These conditions shall be
imposed in writing and shall continue in effect for the
period prescribed by the Commissioner.
(b) To issue orders against any person, if the
Commissioner has reasonable cause to believe that an unsafe
or unsound banking practice has occurred, is occurring, or
is about to occur, if any person has violated, is

matter relating to the duties imposed upon, or the powers
vested in, the Commissioner under the provisions of this
Act or any rule promulgated in accordance with this Act.
(e) To conduct hearings.

bank, the Secretary may issue an order of removal. If, in the
opinion of the Secretary, any former director, officer,

served upon the bank of which he is a director, officer,
employee, or agent, whereupon he shall cease to be a director,
officer, employee, or agent of that bank. The Secretary may

the 12 months prior to the Secretary's examination, the

records to be made by an independent licensed public
accountant. The cost of the audit shall be paid for by the

Sec. 9. Reports and examinations.
(1) Credit unions shall report to the Department on forms

rule.
(3) All credit unions incorporated under this Act shall be

discretion of the Secretary, by a public accountant registered

examination when ordered by the Department shall be reported to

expenses and salaries until all exceptions are corrected and
accepted by the Department.

officers, employees, directors and committee members, and
for losses caused by persons outside of the credit union,
subject to rules and regulations promulgated by the
Secretary;

of loans and under such conditions as the board prescribes.
The directors may establish different interest rates to be
charged on different classes of loans;
(4) Within any limitations set forth in the credit
union's bylaws, fix the maximum amount which may be loaned
with and without security to a member;

the manner and form as provided in the bylaws;

member; such limitations to apply alike to all members;

HB5342 Enrolled - 31 - LRB098 19293 ZMM 55277 b
the board of directors may designate an investment
committee or any qualified individual or entity to have
charge of making investments under policies established by
the board of directors;
(8) Authorize the employment of or contracting with
such persons or organizations as may be necessary to carry
on the operations of the credit union, provided that prior

substantially all managerial duties and responsibilities
to a credit union organization, and fix the compensation,
if any, of the officers and provide for compensation for
other employees within policies established by the board of
directors;
(9) Authorize the conveyance of property;
(10) Borrow or lend money consistent with the
provisions of this Act;
(11) Designate a depository or depositories for the
funds of the credit union and supervise the investment of
funds;
(12) Suspend or remove, or both, any or all officers or
any or all members of the membership, credit, or other
committees whenever, in the judgment of the board of
directors, the best interests of the credit union will be
served thereby; provided that members of the supervisory
committee may not be suspended or removed except for
failure to perform their duties; and provided that removal

HB5342 Enrolled - 32 - LRB098 19293 ZMM 55277 b
of any officer shall be without prejudice to the contract
rights, if any, of the person so removed;
(13) Appoint any special committees deemed necessary;
and
(14) Perform such other duties as the members may
direct, and perform or authorize any action not
inconsistent with this Act and not specifically reserved by
the bylaws to the members.
(b) The board of directors may delegate to the chief
management official, according to guidelines established by
the board that may include the authority to further delegate
one or more duties, all of the following duties:
(1) determining the interest rates on loans;
(2) determining the dividend rates on share accounts;
and
(3) hiring employees other than the chief management
official and fixing their compensation.
(c) Each director shall have a working familiarity with
basic finance and accounting practices consistent with the size
and complexity of the credit union operation they serve,
including the ability to read and understand the credit union's
balance sheet and income and expense statements and the ability
to ask, when appropriate, substantive questions of management
and auditors. For the purposes of this subsection (c),
substantive questions include queries concerning financial
services and products offered to the membership; how those

HB5342 Enrolled - 33 - LRB098 19293 ZMM 55277 b
activities generate revenue for the credit union; the credit,
liquidity, interest rate, compliance, strategic, transaction,
and reputation risks associated with those activities; and the
internal control structures maintained by the credit union that
limit and manage those risks.
A director who was elected or appointed on or after January
1, 2015 and who comes to the position without the requisite
financial skills shall have until 6 months after the date of
election or appointment to acquire the enumerated skills.
An incumbent director who was elected or appointed before
January 1, 2015 and does not possess the requisite financial
skills shall have until July 1, 2015 to acquire the enumerated
skills.
An incumbent director or a director who is elected or
appointed on or after January 1, 2015 who already understands
his or her credit union's financial statements shall not be
required to do anything further to satisfy the financial skills
requirement set forth in subsection (c).
It is the intent of the Department that all credit union
directors possess a basic understanding of their credit union's
financial condition. It is not the intent of the Department to
subject credit union directors to examiner scrutiny of their
financial skills. Rather, the Department shall evaluate
whether the credit union has in place a policy to make
available to their directors appropriate training to enhance
their financial knowledge of the credit union. Directors may

HB5342 Enrolled - 34 - LRB098 19293 ZMM 55277 b
receive the training through internal credit union training,
external training offered by the credit union's retained
auditors, trade associations, vendors, regulatory agencies, or
any other sources or on-the-job experience, or a combination of
those activities. The training may be received through any
medium, including, but not limited to, conferences, workshops,
audit closing meetings, seminars, teleconferences, webinars,
and other internet based delivery channels.

Sec. 34. Duties of supervisory committee.
(1) The supervisory committee shall make or cause to be
made an annual internal audit of the books and affairs of the
credit union to determine that the credit union's accounting
records and reports are prepared promptly and accurately
reflect operations and results, that internal controls are
established and effectively maintained to safeguard the assets
of the credit union, and that the policies, procedures and
practices established by the board of directors and management
of the credit union are being properly administered. The
supervisory committee shall submit a report of that audit to
the board of directors and a summary of that report to the
members at the next annual meeting of the credit union. It
shall make or cause to be made such supplementary audits as it
deems necessary or as are required by the Secretary or by the

HB5342 Enrolled - 35 - LRB098 19293 ZMM 55277 b
board of directors, and submit reports of these supplementary
audits to the Secretary or board of directors as applicable. If
the supervisory committee has not engaged a public accountant
registered by the Department of Financial and Professional
Regulation to make the internal audit, the supervisory
committee or other officials of the credit union shall not
indicate or in any manner imply that such audit has been
performed by a public accountant or that the audit represents
the independent opinion of a public accountant. The supervisory
committee must retain its tapes and working papers of each
internal audit for inspection by the Department. The report of
this audit must be made on a form approved by the Secretary. A
copy of the report must be promptly mailed to the Secretary.
(2) The supervisory committee shall make or cause to be
made at least once each year a reasonable percentage
verification of members' share and loan accounts, consistent
with rules promulgated by the Secretary.
(3) The supervisory committee of a credit union with assets
of $5,000,000 or more shall engage a public accountant
registered by the Department of Financial and Professional
Regulation to perform an annual external independent audit of
the credit union's financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards. The supervisory
committee of a credit union with assets of $3,000,000 or more,
but less than $5,000,000, shall engage a public accountant
registered by the Department of Financial and Professional

HB5342 Enrolled - 36 - LRB098 19293 ZMM 55277 b
Regulation to perform an external independent audit of the
credit union's financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards at least once every 3
years. A copy of an external independent audit shall be
completed and mailed to the Secretary no later than 90 days
after December 31 of each year; provided that a credit union or
group of credit unions may obtain an extension of the due date
upon application to and receipt of written approval from the
Secretary. If the annual internal audit of such a credit union
is conducted by a public accountant registered by the
Department of Financial and Professional Regulation and the
annual internal audit is done in conjunction with the credit
union's annual external audit, the requirements of subsection
(1) of this Section shall be deemed met.
(4) In determining the appropriate balance in the allowance
for loan losses account, a credit union may determine its
historical loss rate using a defined period of time of less
than 5 years, provided that:
(A) the methodology used to determine the defined
period of time is formally documented in the credit union's
policies and procedures and is appropriate to the credit
union's size, business strategy, and loan portfolio
characteristics and the economic environment of the areas
and employers served by the credit union;
(B) supporting documentation is maintained for the
technique used to develop the credit union loss rates,

HB5342 Enrolled - 37 - LRB098 19293 ZMM 55277 b
including the period of time used to accumulate historical
loss data and the factors considered in establishing the
time frames; and
(C) the external auditor conducting the credit union's
financial statement audit has analyzed the methodology
employed by the credit union and concludes that the
financial statements, including the allowance for loan
losses, are fairly stated in all material respects in
accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles, as promulgated by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board.
(5) A majority of the members of the supervisory committee
shall constitute a quorum.
(6) On an annual basis commencing January 1, 2015, the
members of the supervisory committee shall receive training
related to their statutory duties. Supervisory committee
members may receive the training through internal credit union
training, external training offered by the credit union's
retained auditors, trade associations, vendors, regulatory
agencies, or any other sources or on-the-job experience, or a
combination of those activities. The training may be received
through any medium, including, but not limited to, conferences,
workshops, audit closing meetings, seminars, teleconferences,
webinars, and other Internet-based delivery channels.

donation accounts.
(1) If provided for in and consistent with the bylaws,
Christmas clubs, vacation clubs and other special purpose share
accounts may be established and offered under conditions and
restrictions established by the board of directors.
(2) Pursuant to a policy adopted by the board of directors,
which may be amended from time to time, a credit union may
establish one or more charitable donation accounts. The
investments and purchases to fund a charitable donation account
are not subject to the investment limitations of this Act,
provided the charitable donation account is structured in
accordance with this Act. At their time of purchase, the book
value of the investments in all charitable donation accounts,
in the aggregate, shall not exceed 5% of the credit union's net
worth.
(a) If a credit union chooses to establish a charitable
donation account using a trust vehicle, the trustee must be
an entity regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission,
another federal regulatory agency, or a State financial
regulatory agency. A regulated trustee or other person who
is authorized to make investment decisions for a charitable
donation account, other than the credit union itself, shall

HB5342 Enrolled - 39 - LRB098 19293 ZMM 55277 b
either be registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission as an investment advisor or regulated by the
Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
(b) The parties to the charitable donation account must
document the terms and conditions controlling the account
in a written operating agreement, trust agreement, or
similar instrument. The terms of the agreement shall be
consistent with the requirements and conditions set forth
in this Section. The agreement, if applicable, and policies
must document the investment strategies of the charitable
donation account trustee or other manager in administering
the charitable donation account and provide for the
accounting of all aspects of the account, including its
distributions and liquidation, in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.
(c) A credit union's charitable donation account
agreement, if applicable, and policies shall provide that
the charitable organization or non-profit entity
recipients of any charitable donation account funds must be
identified in the policy and be exempt from taxation under
Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
(d) Upon termination of a charitable donation account,
the credit union may receive a distribution of the
remaining assets in cash, or a distribution in kind of the
remaining assets, but only if those assets are permissible
investments for credit unions pursuant to this Act.

Sec. 46. Loans and interest rate.
(1) A credit union may make loans to its members for such
purpose and upon such security and terms, including rates of
interest, as the credit committee, credit manager, or loan
officer approves. Notwithstanding the provisions of any other
law in connection with extensions of credit, a credit union may
elect to contract for and receive interest and fees and other
charges for extensions of credit subject only to the provisions
of this Act and rules promulgated under this Act, except that
extensions of credit secured by residential real estate shall
be subject to the laws applicable thereto. The rates of
interest to be charged on loans to members shall be set by the
board of directors of each individual credit union in
accordance with Section 30 of this Act and such rates may be
less than, but may not exceed, the maximum rate set forth in
this Section. A borrower may repay his loan prior to maturity,
in whole or in part, without penalty. The credit contract may
provide for the payment by the member and receipt by the credit
union of all costs and disbursements, including reasonable
attorney's fees and collection agency charges, incurred by the
credit union to collect or enforce the debt in the event of a
delinquency by the member, or in the event of a breach of any
obligation of the member under the credit contract. A

HB5342 Enrolled - 41 - LRB098 19293 ZMM 55277 b
contingency or hourly arrangement established under an
agreement entered into by a credit union with an attorney or
collection agency to collect a loan of a member in default
shall be presumed prima facie reasonable.
(2) Credit unions may make loans based upon the security of
any interest or equity in real estate, subject to rules and
regulations promulgated by the Secretary. In any contract or
loan which is secured by a mortgage, deed of trust, or
conveyance in the nature of a mortgage, on residential real
estate, the interest which is computed, calculated, charged, or
collected pursuant to such contract or loan, or pursuant to any
regulation or rule promulgated pursuant to this Act, may not be
computed, calculated, charged or collected for any period of
time occurring after the date on which the total indebtedness,
with the exception of late payment penalties, is paid in full.
For purposes of this subsection (2) of this Section 46, a
prepayment shall mean the payment of the total indebtedness,
with the exception of late payment penalties if incurred or
charged, on any date before the date specified in the contract
or loan agreement on which the total indebtedness shall be paid
in full, or before the date on which all payments, if timely
made, shall have been made. In the event of a prepayment of the
indebtedness which is made on a date after the date on which
interest on the indebtedness was last computed, calculated,
charged, or collected but before the next date on which
interest on the indebtedness was to be calculated, computed,

HB5342 Enrolled - 42 - LRB098 19293 ZMM 55277 b
charged, or collected, the lender may calculate, charge and
collect interest on the indebtedness for the period which
elapsed between the date on which the prepayment is made and
the date on which interest on the indebtedness was last
computed, calculated, charged or collected at a rate equal to
1/360 of the annual rate for each day which so elapsed, which
rate shall be applied to the indebtedness outstanding as of the
date of prepayment. The lender shall refund to the borrower any
interest charged or collected which exceeds that which the
lender may charge or collect pursuant to the preceding
sentence. The provisions of this amendatory Act of 1985 shall
apply only to contracts or loans entered into on or after the
effective date of this amendatory Act.
(3) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, a
credit union authorized under this Act to make loans secured by
an interest or equity in real estate may engage in making
"reverse mortgage" loans to persons for the purpose of making
home improvements or repairs, paying insurance premiums or
paying real estate taxes on the homestead properties of such
persons. If made, such loans shall be made on such terms and
conditions as the credit union shall determine and as shall be
consistent with the provisions of this Section and such rules
and regulations as the Secretary shall promulgate hereunder.
For purposes of this Section, a "reverse mortgage" loan shall
be a loan extended on the basis of existing equity in homestead
property and secured by a mortgage on such property. Such loans

HB5342 Enrolled - 43 - LRB098 19293 ZMM 55277 b
shall be repaid upon the sale of the property or upon the death
of the owner or, if the property is in joint tenancy, upon the
death of the last surviving joint tenant who had such an
interest in the property at the time the loan was initiated,
provided, however, that the credit union and its member may by
mutual agreement, establish other repayment terms. A credit
union, in making a "reverse mortgage" loan, may add deferred
interest to principal or otherwise provide for the charging of
interest or premiums on such deferred interest. "Homestead"
property, for purposes of this Section, means the domicile and
contiguous real estate owned and occupied by the mortgagor.
(4) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Act, a
credit union authorized under this Act to make loans secured by
an interest or equity in real property may engage in making
revolving credit loans secured by mortgages or deeds of trust
on such real property or by security assignments of beneficial
interests in land trusts.
For purposes of this Section, "revolving credit" has the
meaning defined in Section 4.1 of the Interest Act.
Any mortgage or deed of trust given to secure a revolving
credit loan may, and when so expressed therein shall, secure
not only the existing indebtedness but also such future
advances, whether such advances are obligatory or to be made at

such mortgage or deed of trust, although there may be no
advance made at the time of execution of such mortgage or other
instrument, and although there may be no indebtedness

registrar of titles of the county where the real property
described therein is located. The total amount of indebtedness
that may be so secured may increase or decrease from time to
time, but the total unpaid balance so secured at any one time
shall not exceed a maximum principal amount which must be
specified in such mortgage or deed of trust, plus interest
thereon, and any disbursements made for the payment of taxes,
special assessments, or insurance on said real property, with
interest on such disbursements.
Any such mortgage or deed of trust shall be valid and have
priority over all subsequent liens and encumbrances, including
statutory liens, except taxes and assessments levied on said
real property.

funds necessary to cover reasonable closing costs, and there
has been no obvious or material change in market conditions or
physical aspects of the real estate that threatens the adequacy
of the credit union's real estate collateral protection after
the transaction.
