Sec. 13. Issuance of charter.
(a) When the directors have organized as provided in
Section 12 of this Act, and the capital stock and the preferred
stock, if any, together with a surplus of not less than 50% of
the capital, has been all fully paid in and a record of the
same filed with the Commissioner, the Commissioner or some
competent person of the Commissioner's appointment shall make
a thorough examination into the affairs of the proposed bank,
and if satisfied (i) that all the requirements of this Act have
been complied with, (ii) that no intervening circumstance has
occurred to change the Commissioner's findings made pursuant

SB3726 - 27 - LRB103 38817 RTM 68954 b
to Section 10 of this Act, and (iii) that the prior involvement
by any stockholder who will own a sufficient amount of stock to
have control, as defined in Section 18 of this Act, of the
proposed bank with any other financial institution, whether as
stockholder, director, officer, or customer, was conducted in
a safe and sound manner, upon payment into the Commissioner's
office of the reasonable expenses of the examination, as
determined by the Commissioner, the Commissioner shall issue a
charter authorizing the bank to commence business as
authorized in this Act. All charters issued by the
Commissioner or any predecessor agency which chartered State
banks, including any charter outstanding as of September 1,
1989, shall be perpetual. For the 2 years after the
Commissioner has issued a charter to a bank, the bank shall
request and obtain from the Commissioner prior written
approval before it may change senior management personnel or
directors.
The original charter, duly certified by the Commissioner,
or a certified copy shall be evidence in all courts and places
of the existence and authority of the bank to do business. Upon
the issuance of the charter by the Commissioner, the bank
shall be deemed fully organized and may proceed to do
business. The Commissioner may, in the Commissioner's
discretion, withhold the issuing of the charter when the
Commissioner has reason to believe that the bank is organized
for any purpose other than that contemplated by this Act. The

SB3726 - 28 - LRB103 38817 RTM 68954 b
Commissioner shall revoke the charter and order liquidation in
the event that the bank does not commence a general banking
business within one year from the date of the issuance of the
charter, unless a request has been submitted, in writing, to
the Commissioner for an extension and the request has been
approved. After commencing a general banking business, a bank
may change its name by filing written notice with the
Commissioner at least 30 days prior to the effective date of
such change. A bank chartered under this Act may change its
main banking premises by filing written application with the
Commissioner, on forms prescribed by the Commissioner,
provided (i) the change shall not be a removal to a new
location without complying with the capital requirements of
Section 7 and of subsection (1) of Section 10 of this Act; (ii)
the Commissioner approves the relocation or change; and (iii)
the bank complies with any applicable federal law or
regulation. The application shall be deemed to be approved if
the Commissioner has not acted on the application within 30
days after receipt of the application, unless within the
30-day time frame the Commissioner informs the bank that an
extension of time is necessary prior to the Commissioner's
action on the application.
(b)(1) The Commissioner may also issue a charter to a bank
that is owned exclusively by other depository institutions or
depository institution holding companies and is organized to
engage exclusively in providing services to or for other

SB3726 - 29 - LRB103 38817 RTM 68954 b
financial institutions, their holding companies, and the
officers, directors, and employees of such institutions and
companies, and in providing services at the request of other
financial institutions or their holding companies (also
referred to as a "bankers' bank"). The bank may also provide
products and services to its officers, directors, and
employees.
(2) A bank chartered pursuant to paragraph (1) shall,
except as otherwise specifically determined or limited by the
Commissioner in an order or pursuant to a rule, be vested with
the same rights and privileges and subject to the same duties,
restrictions, penalties, and liabilities now or hereafter
imposed under this Act.
(c) A bank chartered under this Act shall, at all times
while it accepts or retains deposits, maintain with the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or such other
instrumentality of or corporation chartered by the United
States, deposit insurance as authorized under federal law.
(d)(i) A bank that has a banking charter issued by the
Commissioner under this Act may, pursuant to a written
purchase and assumption agreement, transfer substantially all
of its assets to another State bank or national bank in
consideration, in whole or in part, for the transferee banks'
assumption of any part or all of its liabilities. Such a
transfer shall in no way be deemed to impair the charter of the
transferor bank or cause the transferor bank to forfeit any of

SB3726 - 30 - LRB103 38817 RTM 68954 b
its rights, powers, interests, franchises, or privileges as a
State bank, nor shall any voluntary reduction in the
transferor bank's activities resulting from the transfer have
any such effect; provided, however, that a State bank that
transfers substantially all of its assets pursuant to this
subsection (d) and following the transfer does not accept
deposits and make loans, shall not have any rights, powers,
interests, franchises, or privileges under subsection (15) of
Section 5 of this Act until the bank has resumed accepting
deposits and making loans.
(ii) The fact that a State bank does not resume accepting
deposits and making loans for a period of 24 months commencing
on September 11, 1989 or on a date of the transfer of
substantially all of a State bank's assets, whichever is
later, or such longer period as the Commissioner may allow in
writing, may be the basis for a finding by the Commissioner
under Section 51 of this Act that the bank is unable to
continue operations.
(iii) The authority provided by subdivision (i) of this
subsection (d) shall terminate on May 31, 1997, and no bank
that has transferred substantially all of its assets pursuant
to this subsection (d) shall continue in existence after May
31, 1997.

SB3726 - 31 - LRB103 38817 RTM 68954 b
Sec. 14. Stock. Unless otherwise provided for in this Act
provisions of general application to stock of a state bank
shall be as follows:
(1) All banks shall have their capital divided into shares
of a par value of not less than $1 each and not more than $100
each, however, the par value of shares of a bank effecting a
reverse stock split pursuant to item (8) of subsection (a) of
Section 17 may temporarily exceed this limit provided it
conforms to the limits immediately after the reverse stock
split is completed. No issue of capital stock or preferred
stock shall be valid until not less than the par value of all
such stock so issued shall be paid in and notice thereof by the
president, a vice-president or cashier of the bank has been
transmitted to the Commissioner. In the case of an increase in
capital stock by the declaration of a stock dividend, the
capitalization of retained earnings effected by such stock
dividend shall constitute the payment for such shares required
by the preceding sentence, provided that the surplus of said
bank after such stock dividend shall be at least equal to fifty
per cent of the capital as increased. The charter shall not
limit or deny the voting power of the shares of any class of
stock except as provided in Section 15(3) of this Act.
(2) Pursuant to action taken in accordance with the
requirements of Section 17, a bank may issue preferred stock
of one or more classes as shall be approved by the Commissioner
as hereinafter provided, and make such amendment to its

SB3726 - 32 - LRB103 38817 RTM 68954 b
charter as may be necessary for this purpose; but in the case
of any newly organized bank which has not yet issued capital
stock the requirements of Section 17 shall not apply.
(3) Without limiting the authority herein contained a
bank, when so provided in its charter and when approved by the
Commissioner, may issue shares of preferred stock:
(a) Subject to the right of the bank to redeem any of
such shares at not exceeding the price fixed by the
charter for the redemption thereof;
(b) Subject to the provisions of subsection (8) of
this Section 14 entitling the holders thereof to
cumulative or noncumulative dividends;
(c) Having preference over any other class or classes
of shares as to the payment of dividends;
(d) Having preference as to the assets of the bank
over any other class or classes of shares upon the
voluntary or involuntary liquidation of the bank;
(e) Convertible into shares of any other class of
stock, provided that preferred shares shall not be
converted into shares of a different par value unless that
part of the capital of the bank represented by such
preferred shares is at the time of the conversion equal to
the aggregate par value of the shares into which the
preferred shares are to be converted.
(4) If any part of the capital of a bank consists of
preferred stock, the determination of whether or not the

SB3726 - 33 - LRB103 38817 RTM 68954 b
capital of such bank is impaired and the amount of such
impairment shall be based upon the par value of its stock even
though the amount which the holders of such preferred stock
shall be entitled to receive in the event of retirement or
liquidation shall be in excess of the par value of such
preferred stock.
(5) Pursuant to action taken in accordance with the
requirements of Section 17 of this Act, a state bank may
provide for a specified number of authorized but unissued
shares of capital stock for one or more of the following
purposes:
(a) Reserved for issuance under stock option plan or
plans to directors, officers or employees;
(b) Reserved for issuance upon conversion of
convertible preferred stock issued pursuant to and in
compliance with the provisions of subsections (2) and (3)
of this Section 14.
(c) Reserved for issuance upon conversion of
convertible debentures or other convertible evidences of
indebtedness issued by a state bank, provided always that
the terms of such conversion have been approved by the
Commissioner;
(d) Reserved for issuance by the declaration of a
stock dividend. If and when any shares of capital stock
are proposed to be authorized and reserved for any of the
purposes set forth in subparagraphs (a), (b) or (c) above,

SB3726 - 34 - LRB103 38817 RTM 68954 b
the notice of the meeting, whether special or annual, of
stockholders at which such proposition is to be considered
shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth or
summarizing the terms upon which the shares of capital
stock so reserved are to be issued, and the extent to which
any preemptive rights of stockholders are inapplicable to
the issuance of the shares so reserved or to the
convertible preferred stock or convertible debentures or
other convertible evidences of indebtedness, and the
approving vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of
the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at such
meeting of the terms of such issuance shall be requisite
for the adoption of any amendment providing for the
reservation of authorized but unissued shares for any of
said purposes. Nothing in this subsection (5) contained
shall be deemed to authorize the issuance of any capital
stock for a consideration less than the par value thereof.
(6) Upon written application to the Commissioner 60 days
prior to the proposed purchase and receipt of the written
approval of the Commissioner, a state bank may purchase and
hold as treasury stock such amounts of the total number of
issued and outstanding shares of its capital and preferred
stock outstanding as the Commissioner determines is consistent
with safety and soundness of the bank. The Commissioner may
specify the manner of accounting for the treasury stock and
the form of notice prior to ultimate disposition of the

SB3726 - 35 - LRB103 38817 RTM 68954 b
shares. Except as authorized in this subsection, it shall not
be lawful for a state bank to purchase or hold any additional
such shares or securities described in subsection (2) of
Section 37 unless necessary to prevent loss upon a debt
previously contracted in good faith, in which event such
shares or securities so purchased or acquired shall, within 6
months from the time of purchase or acquisition, be sold or
disposed of at public or private sale. Any state bank which
intends to purchase and hold treasury stock as authorized in
this subsection (6) shall file a written application with the
Commissioner 60 days prior to any such proposed purchase. The
application shall state the number of shares to be purchased,
the consideration for the shares, the name and address of the
person from whom the shares are to be purchased, if known, and
the total percentage of its issued and outstanding shares to
be held by the bank after the purchase. The total
consideration paid by a state bank for treasury stock shall
reduce capital and surplus of the bank for purposes of
Sections of this Act relating to lending and investment limits
which require computation of capital and surplus. After
considering and approving an application to purchase and hold
treasury stock under this subsection, the Commissioner may
waive or reduce the balance of the 60 day application period.
The Commissioner may specify the form of the application for
approval to acquire treasury stock and promulgate rules and
regulations for the administration of this subsection (6). A

SB3726 - 36 - LRB103 38817 RTM 68954 b
state bank may acquire or resell its own shares as treasury
stock pursuant to this subsection (6) without a change in its
charter pursuant to Section 17. Such stock may be held for any
purpose permitted in subsection (5) of this Section 14 or may
be resold upon such reasonable terms as the board of directors
may determine provided notice is given to the Commissioner
prior to the resale of such stock.
(7) During the time that a state bank shall continue its
banking business, it shall not withdraw or permit to be
withdrawn, either in the form of dividends or otherwise, any
portion of its capital, but nothing in this subsection shall
prevent a reduction or change of the capital stock or the
preferred stock under the provisions of Sections 17 through 30
of this Act, a purchase of treasury stock under the provisions
of subsection (6) of this Section 14 or a redemption of
preferred stock pursuant to charter provisions therefor.
(8) (a) Subject to the provisions of this Act, the board of
directors of a state bank from time to time may declare a
dividend of so much of the net profits of such bank as it
shall judge expedient, but each bank before the
declaration of a dividend shall carry at least one-tenth
of its net profits since the date of the declaration of the
last preceding dividend, or since the issuance of its
charter in the case of its first dividend, to its surplus
until the same shall be equal to its capital.
(b) No dividends shall be paid by a state bank while it

SB3726 - 37 - LRB103 38817 RTM 68954 b
continues its banking business to an amount greater than
its net profits then on hand, deducting first therefrom
its losses and bad debts. All debts due to a state bank on
which interest is past due and unpaid for a period of 6
months or more, unless the same are well secured and in the
process of collection, shall be considered bad debts.
(9) A State bank may, but shall not be obliged to, issue a
certificate for a fractional share, and, by action of its
board of directors, may in lieu thereof, pay cash equal to the
value of the fractional share. A certificate for a fractional
share shall entitle the holder to exercise fractional voting
rights, to receive dividends, and to participate in any of the
assets of the bank in the event of liquidation.

Sec. 15. Stock and stockholders. Unless otherwise provided
for in this Act, provisions of general application to capital
stock, preferred stock, and stockholders of a State bank shall
be as follows:
(1) There shall be an annual meeting of the stockholders
for the election of directors each year on the first business
day in January, unless some other date shall be fixed by the
by-laws. A special meeting of the stockholders may be called
at any time by the board of directors, and otherwise as may be
provided in the bylaws.

SB3726 - 38 - LRB103 38817 RTM 68954 b
(2) Written or printed notice stating the place, day, and
hour of the meeting, and in case of a special meeting, the
purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be
delivered not less than 10 nor more than 40 days before the
date of the meeting either personally, electronically, or by
mail, by or at the direction of the president, or the
secretary, or the officer or persons calling the meeting, to
each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If
mailed, the notice shall be deemed to be delivered when
deposited in the United States mail with postage thereon
prepaid addressed to the stockholder at his address as it
appears on the records of the bank.
(3) Except as provided below in this paragraph (3), each
outstanding share shall be entitled to one vote on each matter
submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders. Shares of its
own stock belonging to a bank shall not be voted, directly or
indirectly, at any meeting and shall not be counted in
determining the total number of outstanding shares at any
given time, but shares of its own stock held by it in a
fiduciary capacity may be voted and shall be counted in
determining the total number of outstanding shares at any
given time. A stockholder may vote either in person or by proxy
executed in writing by the stockholder or by his duly
authorized attorney-in-fact. No proxy shall be valid after 11
months from the date of its execution, unless otherwise
provided in the proxy. Except as provided below in this

SB3726 - 39 - LRB103 38817 RTM 68954 b
paragraph (3), in all elections for directors every
stockholder (or subscriber to the stock prior to the issuance
of a charter) shall have the right to vote, in person or by
proxy, for the number of shares of stock owned by him, for as
many persons as there are directors to be elected, or to
cumulate the shares and give one candidate as many votes as the
number of directors multiplied by the number of his or her
shares of stock shall equal, or to distribute them on the same
principle among as many candidates as he or she shall think
fit. The bank charter of any bank organized on or after January
1, 1984 may limit or eliminate cumulative voting rights in all
or specified circumstances, or may eliminate voting rights
entirely, as to any class or classes or series of stock of the
bank; provided that one class of shares or series thereof
shall always have voting rights in respect of all matters in
the bank. A bank organized prior to January 1, 1984 may amend
its charter to eliminate cumulative voting rights under all or
specified circumstances, or to eliminate voting rights
entirely, as to any class or classes or series of stock of the
bank; provided that one class of shares or series thereof
shall always have voting rights in respect of all matters in
the bank, and provided further that the proposal to eliminate
the voting rights receives the approval of the holders of 70%
of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote as
provided in paragraph (b) (7) of Section 17. A majority of the
outstanding shares represented in person or by proxy shall

SB3726 - 40 - LRB103 38817 RTM 68954 b
constitute a quorum at a meeting of stockholders. In the
absence of a quorum a meeting may be adjourned from time to
time without notice to the stockholders.
(4) Whenever additional stock of a class is offered for
sale, stockholders of record of the same class on the date of
the offer shall have the right to subscribe to the proportion
of the shares as the stock of the class held by them bears to
the total of the outstanding stock of the class, and the price
thereof may be in excess of par value. This right shall be
transferable but shall terminate if not exercised within 60
days of the offer, unless the Commissioner shall authorize a
shorter time. If the right is not exercised, the stock shall
not be re-offered for sale to others at a lower price without
the stockholders of the same class again being accorded a
preemptive right to subscribe at the lower price.
Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this paragraph (4) or
any other provision of law, stockholders shall not have any
preemptive or other right to subscribe for or to purchase or
acquire shares of capital stock issued or to be issued under a
stock-option plan or upon conversion of preferred stock or
convertible debentures or other convertible indebtedness that
has been approved by stockholders in the manner required by
the provisions of subsection (5) of Section 14 hereof or to
treasury stock acquired pursuant to subsection (6) of Section
14.
(5) For the purpose of determining stockholders entitled

SB3726 - 41 - LRB103 38817 RTM 68954 b
to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders, or
stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or
in order to make a determination of stockholders for any other
proper purpose, the board of directors of a bank may provide
that the stock transfer books shall be closed for a stated
period not to exceed, in any case, 40 days. In lieu of closing
the stock transfer books, the board of directors may fix in
advance a date as the record date for any determination of
stockholders, the date in any case to be not more than 40 days,
and in case of a meeting of stockholders, not less than 10 days
prior to the date on which the particular action, requiring
the determination of stockholders, is to be taken. If the
stock transfer books are not closed and no record date is fixed
for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of or
to vote at a meeting of stockholders, or stockholders entitled
to receive payment of a dividend, the date on which notice of a
meeting is delivered mailed or the date on which the
resolution of the board of directors declaring the dividend is
adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record date for the
determination of stockholders.
(6) Stock standing in the name of another corporation,
domestic or foreign, may be voted by the officer, agent, or
proxy as the by-laws of the corporation may prescribe, or, in
the absence of such provision, as the board of directors of the
corporation may determine. Stock standing in the name of a
deceased person may be voted by his or her administrator or

SB3726 - 42 - LRB103 38817 RTM 68954 b
executor, either in person or by proxy. Stock standing in the
name of a guardian or trustee may be voted by that fiduciary
either in person or by proxy. Shares standing in the name of a
receiver may be voted by the receiver, and shares held by or
under control of a receiver may be voted by the receiver
without the transfer thereof into his or her name if authority
so to do be contained in an appropriate order of the court by
which the receiver was appointed. A stockholder whose shares
of stock are pledged shall be entitled to vote those shares
until the shares have been transferred into the name of the
pledgee, and thereafter the pledgee shall be entitled to vote
the shares so transferred.
(7) Shares of stock shall be transferable in accordance
with the general laws of this State governing the transfer of
corporate shares.
(8) The president and any other officer designated by the
board of directors of every State bank shall cause to be kept
at all times a full and correct list of the names and
residences of all the shareholders in the State bank and the
number of shares held by each in the office where its business
is transacted. The list shall be subject to the inspection of
all the shareholders of the State bank and the officers
authorized to assess taxes under State authority during
business hours of each day in which business may be legally
transacted. A copy of the list, verified by the oath of the
president or cashier, shall be transmitted to the Commissioner

SB3726 - 43 - LRB103 38817 RTM 68954 b
of Banks and Real Estate within 10 days of any demand therefor
made by the Commissioner.
(9) Any number of shareholders of a bank may create a
voting trust for the purpose of conferring upon a trustee or
trustees the right to vote or otherwise represent their shares
for a period of not to exceed 10 years by entering into a
written voting trust agreement specifying the terms and
conditions of the voting trust and by transferring their
shares to the trustee or trustees for the purposes of the
agreement. The trust agreement shall not become effective
until a counterpart of the agreement is deposited with the
bank at its main banking premises. The counterpart of the
voting trust agreement so deposited with the bank shall be
subject to the same right of examination by a shareholder of
the bank, in person or by agent or attorney, as is the record
of shareholders of the bank and shall be subject to
examination by any holder of a beneficial interest in the
voting trust, either in person or by agent or attorney, at any
reasonable time for any proper purpose.
(10) Voting agreements. Shareholders may provide for the
voting of their shares by signing an agreement for that
purpose. A voting agreement created under this paragraph is
not subject to the provisions of paragraph (9).
A voting agreement created under this paragraph is
specifically enforceable in accordance with the principles of
equity.

and subject to applicable requirements of this Act, the board
of directors may provide by resolution that stockholders may
attend, participate in, act in, and vote at an annual meeting
or special meeting through the use of a conference telephone
or interactive technology, including, but not limited to,
electronic transmission, internet usage, or remote
communication, by means of which all persons participating in
the meeting can communicate with each other. Participation
through the use of a conference telephone or interactive
technology shall constitute attendance, presence, and
representation in person at the annual meeting or special
meeting of the person or persons so participating and count
towards the quorum required to conduct business at the
meeting. The following conditions shall apply to any virtual
meeting of the stockholders:
(a) the bank must internally possess or retain the
technological capacity to facilitate virtual meeting
attendance, participation, communication, and voting; and
(b) the stockholders must receive notice of the use of
a virtual meeting format and appropriate instructions for
joining, participating, and voting during the virtual
meeting at least 7 days before the virtual meeting.

Sec. 16. Directors. The business and affairs of a State
bank shall be managed by its board of directors that shall
exercise its powers as follows:
(1) Directors shall be elected as provided in this Act.
Any omission to elect a director or directors shall not impair
any of the rights and privileges of the bank or of any person
in any way interested. The existing directors shall hold
office until their successors are elected and qualify.
(2) (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of any charter
heretofore or hereafter issued, the number of directors,
not fewer than 5 nor more than 25, may be fixed from time
to time by the stockholders at any meeting of the
stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors
or changing the number thereof by the affirmative vote of
at least two-thirds of the outstanding stock entitled to
vote at the meeting, and the number so fixed shall be the
board regardless of vacancies until the number of
directors is thereafter changed by similar action.
(b) Notwithstanding the minimum number of directors
specified in paragraph (a) of this subsection, a State
bank that has been in existence for 10 years or more and
has less than $20,000,000 in assets, as of the December 31
immediately preceding the annual meeting of shareholders
at which directors are elected, may, subject to the
approval of the Commissioner, have a minimum of 3
directors; provided that if a State bank has fewer than 5

SB3726 - 46 - LRB103 38817 RTM 68954 b
directors, at least one director shall not be an officer
or employee of the bank. The Commissioner shall annually
review the appropriateness of the grant of authority to
have a reduced minimum number of directors pursuant to
this paragraph (b).
(3) Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph (3),
directors shall hold office until the next annual meeting of
the stockholders succeeding their election or until their
successors are elected and qualify. If the board of directors
consists of 6 or more members, in lieu of electing the
membership of the whole board of directors annually, the
charter or by-laws of a State bank may provide that the
directors shall be divided into either 2 or 3 classes, each
class to be as nearly equal in number as is possible. The term
of office of directors of the first class shall expire at the
first annual meeting of the stockholders after their election,
that of the second class shall expire at the second annual
meeting after their election, and that of the third class, if
any, shall expire at the third annual meeting after their
election. At each annual meeting after classification, the
number of directors equal to the number of the class whose
terms expire at the time of the meeting shall be elected to
hold office until the second succeeding annual meeting, if
there be 2 classes, or until the third succeeding annual
meeting, if there be 3 classes. Vacancies may be filled by
stockholders at a special meeting called for the purpose.

SB3726 - 47 - LRB103 38817 RTM 68954 b
If authorized by the bank's by-laws or an amendment
thereto, the directors of a State bank may properly fill a
vacancy or vacancies arising between shareholders' meetings,
but at no time may the number of directors selected to fill a
vacancy in this manner during any interim period between
shareholders' meetings exceed 33 1/3% of the total membership
of the board of directors.
(4) The board of directors shall hold regular meetings at
least once each month, provided that, upon prior written
approval by the Commissioner, the board of directors may hold
regular meetings less frequently than once each month but at
least once each calendar quarter. A special meeting of the
board of directors may be held as provided by the by-laws. A
special meeting of the board of directors may also be held upon
call by the Commissioner or a bank examiner appointed under
the provisions of this Act upon not less than 12 hours notice
of the meeting by personal service of the notice, by
electronic delivery of the notice, or by mailing the notice to
each of the directors at his residence as shown by the books of
the bank. A majority of the board of directors shall
constitute a quorum for the transaction of business unless a
greater number is required by the charter or the by-laws. The
act of the majority of the directors present at a meeting at
which a quorum is present shall be the act of the board of
directors unless the act of a greater number is required by the
charter or by the by-laws.

SB3726 - 48 - LRB103 38817 RTM 68954 b
(5) A member of the board of directors shall be elected
president. The board of directors may appoint other officers,
as the by-laws may provide, and fix their salaries to carry on
the business of the bank. The board of directors may make and
amend by-laws (not inconsistent with this Act) for the
government of the bank and may, by the affirmative vote of a
majority of the board of directors, establish reasonable
compensation of all directors for services to the corporation
as directors, officers, or otherwise. An officer, whether
elected or appointed by the board of directors or appointed
pursuant to the by-laws, may be removed by the board of
directors at any time.
(6) The board of directors shall cause suitable books and
records of all the bank's transactions to be kept.
(7) (a) In discharging the duties of their respective
positions, the board of directors, committees of the
board, and individual directors may, in considering the
best long term and short term interests of the bank,
consider the effects of any action (including, without
limitation, action that may involve or relate to a merger
or potential merger or to a change or potential change in
control of the bank) upon employees, depositors,
suppliers, and customers of the corporation or its
subsidiaries, communities in which the main banking
premises, branches, offices, or other establishments of
the bank or its subsidiaries are located, and all

SB3726 - 49 - LRB103 38817 RTM 68954 b
pertinent factors.
(b) In discharging the duties of their respective
positions, the board of directors, committees of the
board, and individual directors shall be entitled to rely
on advice, information, opinions, reports or statements,
including financial statements and financial data,
prepared or presented by: (i) one or more officers or
employees of the bank whom the director believes to be
reliable and competent in the matter presented; (ii) one
or more counsels, accountants, or other consultants as to
matters that the director believes to be within that
person's professional or expert competence; or (iii) a
committee of the board upon which the director does not
serve, as to matters within that committee's designated
authority; provided that the director's reliance under
this paragraph (b) is placed in good faith, after
reasonable inquiry if the need for such inquiry is
apparent under the circumstances and without knowledge
that would cause such reliance to be unreasonable.

bank shall knowingly employ or otherwise permit an individual
to serve as an officer, director, employee, or agent of the

Sec. 20. Resulting national bank or insured savings
association. Nothing in this Act shall be construed to require
the approval of any Illinois State authority as a condition to
the right of a State bank, pursuant to the laws of the United
States or of this State, to be converted into a national bank
or insured savings association or to merge with an insured
savings association or with a national bank under a national
charter. The action to be taken by such merging or converting
State bank and its rights and liabilities and those of its
stockholders and of its dissenting stockholders shall be the
same as those prescribed for a State bank merging with, or
converting into, a national bank or insured savings
association that has received its charter from an agency of
the United States Government at the time of the action by the
law of the United States and not by the law of this State
unless the State bank merges with or converts to a savings and
loan association or savings bank chartered under the laws of
this State, except that an affirmative vote of the holders of
at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of stock of a
State bank entitled to vote at a meeting called in conformity

SB3726 - 51 - LRB103 38817 RTM 68954 b
with Section 23 shall be required for the merger or
conversion. Upon the completion of a merger or conversion,
resulting in a national bank or insured savings association,
the charter of any merging or converting State bank shall
automatically terminate. Approval by the Commissioner to
convert a State bank to a national bank or insured savings
association or to merge a State bank into a national bank or
insured savings association shall not be required under this
Act. However, any such converting or merging State bank shall
notify the Commissioner in writing of the proposed conversion
or merger not less than 30 days prior to such conversion or
merger and shall pay all accrued or outstanding assessments
pursuant to Section 48 of this Act as of the date of conversion
or merger.

circumstances, also require that single males who have reached
the age of majority have cosigners on promissory notes

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:

SB3726 - 53 - LRB103 38817 RTM 68954 b
(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 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

SB3726 - 54 - LRB103 38817 RTM 68954 b
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 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

SB3726 - 55 - LRB103 38817 RTM 68954 b
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 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

SB3726 - 56 - LRB103 38817 RTM 68954 b
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 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

SB3726 - 57 - LRB103 38817 RTM 68954 b
$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 additional
examination. 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

SB3726 - 58 - LRB103 38817 RTM 68954 b
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 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

SB3726 - 59 - LRB103 38817 RTM 68954 b
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 (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

SB3726 - 60 - LRB103 38817 RTM 68954 b
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 among,
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 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

SB3726 - 61 - LRB103 38817 RTM 68954 b
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 paragraph (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 amount
that is more than is reasonably anticipated to be
necessary for any anticipated turnover in employees,

SB3726 - 62 - LRB103 38817 RTM 68954 b
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 into the Bank and
Trust Company Fund and may be used for the same
purposes as fees deposited into 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
Public Act 81-131 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 made on

SB3726 - 63 - LRB103 38817 RTM 68954 b
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 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 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

SB3726 - 64 - LRB103 38817 RTM 68954 b
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 Cash Flow
Reserve Account is less than one-fourth of the total

bank or any subsidiary not to offer financial services
