CHAPTER 1464? - (Ho. 9)
ACTS OP 1931
j
(HOUSE BILL No. 403)
AN ACT for the Protection of State Banks Against Exces
sive Withdrawals or Runs and to Provide for Limits of
Withdrawals on Said Banks to Twenty Per Cent (20%)
of Its Deposits; Provide the Procedure to Be Followed by
Such Bank or Banks in Case It Senses a Run Either by
Withdrawal of Deposits by Its Depositors En Masse or
Through the Clearing House or Houses or other Collect
ing Agents; to Correlate Such Procedure With Rules and
Regulations of the Comptroller.
Whereas, a very large number of banks in Florida have
closed within the past year, primarily, on account of ex
cited runs by depositors— and too, by reason of withdraw
als through the clearing houses, and,
Whereas, such runs have in many instances resulted in
the closing of many solvent banking institutions in this
State, and,
Whereas, under the laws of the State of Florida such
banks are permitted to place as much as eighty per cent
(80%) of their deposits in time loans, carrying only twenty
per cent (20%) as a working reserve, and,
Whereas, such twenty per cent (20%) reserve appears to
be adequate and sufficient for the usual demands of the
banking business, but would, of course, be insufficient to
pay off all or a large number of depositors in the event of
a run, and,
Whereas, it would seem that if a bank is allowed to place
a certain portion of its deposits on a time basis with a cash
reserve of twenty per cent (20%) to meet all normal de
mands, the bank should have some protection against an
- abnormal demand, as a run, which usually destroys the bank
and those in charge of it no matter how good that bank may
be, and,
Whereas, it has always been the policy of the State of
Florida to seek and get protection for the public and for it
self in its relation to banks. It would therefor appear that
all solvent banks should have some protection against un
due excitement of its depositors, and,
Whereas, it is admitted that the public has a right to as
sume that any open bank is a solvent bank and the banking
department should have legal authority to see to it that
open banks are solvent— solvent in the sense that good valu
ation is supporting the accounts, and,
Whereas, banks should be allowed, or caused, to close only
