Vol. 16 No. 49

Des Moines, Iowa

March 21,1988

In Washington and the States—

• Banking Legislation Moves Along
O N G R E S SIO N A L members
and the banking industry were
^ still awaiting late last week a draft
^ of the St Germain banking bill to de­
termine how much at variance it will
be from the Proxmire/Gam Senate
banking bill. The latter bill cleared
^ the Senate Banking Committee 18-2
and is expected to be up for a floor
vote in late March before the 10-day
Easter recess.
Several sources have reported
^ that the St Germain bill will place
more limitations on any securities
^^pow ers banks might be granted. It
R R ep orted ly would allow banks to un­
derwrite commercial paper, mort^ gage-backed securities and munici­
pal revenue bonds. However, the bill
apparently has no reference to
mutual funds and no kick-in date for
corporate underwriting, as the
^ Senate bill offers. Rep. St Germain’s
bill is reportedly even more restric­
tive with insurance regulations for
banks, and real estate powers are
strictly a question mark in the
0 House proposed bill. An A B A
spokesman said it appears there will
be even stricter consumer protection
provisions, such as broader compli­
ance with CRA regulations and ini0 dating lifeline banking.
Rep. Stephen Neal (D., N.C.) ear­
lier introduced a House bill con­
sidered to be a companion to the

C

Proxmire/Garn bill, so it is antici­
pated that this bill will be offered as
an amendment in the future to
broaden any bill presented by Rep.
St Germain, since Mr. Neal is consi­
dered a banking advocate.
Illinois—The Illinois Bankers Association is
looking at an ambitious agenda in its presen­
tation of banking bills to the state legis­
lature. This is an off-year for the Illinois
General Assembly, which traditionally consi­
ders only emergency measures and budget
items at this session. The IBA is looking for
new powers for Illinois banks, particularly
for insurance since that was a key one last
year.
Iowa—Bank lobbyists are marking time and
staying in close touch with legislators while
the Assembly goes through one of two last
“ funnels” heading into the final days of the
1988 legislative session. The IBA is seeking a
cap of $5,000 on life insurance proceeds that
can be declared exempt by a bankrupt on any
policies purchased within two years of such
bankruptcy declaration. The interstate bank­
ing bill continues to catch the limelight. Pas­
sage of the bill by the Senate recently sur­
prised many industry observers, and now at­
tention is focused in the House, where inter­
state banking had previously gained more
favor than the Senate. The IBA also conti­
nues to press for a central notification sys­
tem from the legislature.
Minnesota—An interstate banking bill that
would broaden the region for such activity
from the contiguous states (voted last ses­
sion) to include another level of states is on
the floor of the House and Senate. The Inde­
pendent Bankers of Minnesota has an­
nounced that its organization will offer an
amendment to broaden the bill to national

F irsT ier.

banking right now. That amendment has not
yet been offered. The legislation on the floor
includes concentration ratio (30% of hanking
deposits in the state), capital restrictions,
and broader compliance with CRA rules—i.e.,
more loans for low-income housing. The
House version would expand present inter­
state banking law to include Nebraska,
Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and Washington.
The Senate version includes those states plus
Oregon, Utah, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri,
Michigan and Indiana.
A bank securities powers bill was defeated
in the House Financial Institutions and In­
surance Committee. Another bill on the agen­
da would allow state chartered banks to in­
vest in Farmer Mac.
Nebraska—A similar story is told for the
Nebraska legislature, with serious debate of
critical bills heading for a vote showdown as
the final date for the 1987 session ap­
proaches. The branch banking bill (LB703)
would eliminate distance restrictions from
present law. The amendment would reduce
from three years to 18 months the period re­
quired before a newly-established bank could
be purchased by another bank. The NBA ex­
ecutive council supports elimination of the
distance requirements but opposes any
change in the three-year rule.

Announce Candidacy for
ABA President-Elect
C.G. “ Kelly” Holthus, immediate
past president of the Nebraska
Bankers Association and president
of the First National Bank in York,
Neb., and Alan R. Tubbs, president

nounced their candidacies for the of­
