0 Vol. 10 No. 50 Des Moines, Iowa Iowa and Nebraska Legislative Update T PRESS time last week the A future of Senate File 2276 in the Iowa Legislature was uncertain. ^ ® ^ w ^ ^ a ^ Earlier last week the bill had been returned to committee to be either revised and developed into a new bill altogether, or broken down into several new bills. This action was prompted by the addition of numer ous amendments to the original bill, particularly to the savings and loans sections. The new legislation ap parently will deal with expanded savings and loan powers. A meeting was scheduled for Thursday morning to discuss “ four non-controversial items” ; interest on escrow, due on sale, points and the eight percent issue. SF 2276, or its revised counterpart, is expected to go back for debate later this week. The 1982 Nebraska Legislature passed four bills in the past week and a half, three of which have been signed into law at the time of this writing. Passed by a 25-22 vote, LB 626, if signed into law, would allow a multi bank holding company to acquire banks as long as the total deposits did not exceed 10 percent of the total financial institution deposits of the state and provide for full service at existing bank facilities. The bill would also allow for the establish ment of two detached facilities within city limits. The bill was sent to Governor Charles Thone who has five days to either sign or veto it. Previous to its passing, it was reported that Gov. Thone stated he would veto the bill, but at press time no action had yet been taken. Carried by a substantial majority, LB 623 eliminates the usury ceiling on loans made primarily for business or ag purposes or loans secured by real estate for banks and savings and loans chartered by the United States and all financial institutions licensed by the department of bank ing and finance. This bill, which was signed into law last week, will not take effect until 90 days after the session is over. LB 779 was an omnibus bill in that 1) it dramatically increased the amount state banks can borrow on a A p ril5 ,1982 direct basis and also dramatically in creased the total the total amount of loans and investments state banks can hold; 2) it provided for greatly increased investments by state banks in ag credit and livestock associations and no limit for banks owning 80 percent or more of ag credit or livestock associations; 3) it further removed all limitations and form ulas used in determ ining eligibility for real estate loans and at the same time increased the ag gregate amount of real estate loans state banks can own, and 4) it pro vided for a balloon payment of any size, on instalment loans. LB 779 was signed under the emergency clause, taking effect im mediately, as was LB 778, the fourth bill recently passed by the Nebraska legislature. LB 778 provides for variable rate interest loans and in addition it pro vides for a 10 day notice before any interest rate can be increased on con sumer loans.
