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

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

In a surprise move on May 29, the
Nebraska Legislature adopted 26-8
a motion by Sen. 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.
