• Vol. 14 No. 7 Des Moines, Iowa June 3,1985 will have an “ innovative and compe titive effect on the market for finan cial resources in Florida,” calling that assertion “ erroneous” for it deters the State of Florida’s rightful policy of having local money avail able for local development. The IB A A hailed the Appeals Court decision. The A B A Leader ship Council had called on Congress to close the nonbank loophole. □ Court Says No-No to Nonbank Banks a ^ 0 0 ® ® ® _ ® P OR the second time in two months, southern courts have dealt severe blows to the nonbank banks that were granted charters so liberally by the Federal Reserve Board and the Comptroller of the Currency. The latest setback for nonbank bank a d voca tes was handed down May 21 by the three judges comprising the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the 11 th Cir cuit Court in Atlanta. The judges reversed a March, 1984, decision of the Federal Re serve Board that permitted U.S. Trust Corp. o f New York to convert its Florida trust operation into a “ nonbank bank" that would offer all banking services except commercial loans. Fed Violated BHC A ct Circuit Court Judge John R. Brown wrote on behalf o f his col leagues that the Fed’s action actual ly violated Bank Holding Company intent which is to allow a state to decide itself whether it wants to open its borders to out-of-state banks. Judge Brown said that even though the U.S. Trust subsidiary would technically not fit the Fed’s definition of a “ bank,” the Fed Board should have looked beyond that narrow interpretation. “ We hold that the board should have used its power under (the law) to pre vent expansion of U.S. Trust of the fundamental purpose of the (Bank Holding Company) A ct,” Judge Brown wrote. When the Fed OKd the U.S. Trust application in 1984, the Florida Bankers Association and the Comp troller of the State of Florida joined in suing the Fed over the decision. The Appeals Court verdict is a re sult of that suit. IB A A Halts Comptroller The other recent setback for non bank banks also came in Florida when the Independent Bankers A s sociation of America prevailed in its suit against the Comptroller for granting nonbank bank charters in that state. The suit still is in the courts, but in April the district court in Jacksonville, Fla., granted a preliminary injunction prohibiting the Comptroller from issuing final approval notices for those charters he had granted. The court stated fur ther that its injunction applied na tionwide, not just to the nonbank bank charters the Comptroller had granted in Florida. Along with those two courts deci sions, a number of states have passed legislation prohibiting such charters within their boundaries. Judge Brow n negated U .S. Trust’s contention that its nonbank Iowa News The Iowa Bankers Association is s p o n s o r in g a P ro b le m L oa n Workshop June 13-14 at the Savery Hotel in Des Moines.

John DeCamp to substitute the Nebraska Bankers Association’s suggested alternative taxing plan for banks to replace LB 717, which had been opposed by the NBA. The alternative had been formed by N BA at the invitation of the Legislature’s Revenue Commit tee. The N BA alternative was com pleted May 7 by N BA leaders, dis cussed with the membership at the N BA state convention on May 8 and handed to the Revenue Committee, which rejected it. The alternative calls for a 5% tax rate on financial income listed on a bank’s call report. A credit of one-half per cent (4V& tax rate) then would be given for banks with municipal and federal securi ties of less than 12 % of assets, and a credit of one per cent (4% tax rate) for those banks with municipal and federal securities in excess o f 12 % of assets. Each bank then would figure a tax based on 40$ per thousand of total average deposits. Whichever tax is larger of the two methods is the one the bank would pay the state. A motion to reconsider Sen. DeCamp’s amendment lost 24-20 and the bill then was advanced to final reading 27-0. Final action is ex pected this week, although there is a threat of veto by Gov. Kerrey. * * * The Nebraska Department this week, June 3-7 at five locations to explain its voluntary program of “ self-examination” bank reports.
