SF351: Interstate Banking Bill.
Would allow nationwide interstate
banking and statewide branching.
HSB253 interstate banking also in­
troduced. Supported by major hold­
ing companies and some business
groups. Opposed by Iowa Indepen­
dent Bankers and some business
groups.
Omnibus Bill: Grants additional
powers for s&ls and credit unions;
amended to add bank powers to en­
gage in securities trading, futures
and invest in mutual funds. Now out
of committee.
A bill also has been introduced to
create a state-owned bank similar to
that in North Dakota.
Minnesota
HF1: Farm interest-rate buy-down;
was in conference committee last
week. Minnesota legislature last
year voted $5 million for an ag inter­
est rate buy-down, but at the Gover­
nor’s OK, it was expanded in prac­
tice to $19 million to work with
6,500 farmer applicants. Conference
committee is expected to make up
the $14 million over-run and then
decide whether to continue with pro­

renewal; Senate prefers a guaranty
type program.

and can run up to one year. Senate

ments, but House reluctant.

duced interest rate of 6.9% for 5
years and then 8%. Would apply

enactment of the bill. Aimed pri­
marily at Farm Credit Banks, which
hold 200,000 acres in the state.
HF676: Lifeline Banking. Proposal
to make financial institutions offer
basic banking services free as fol­
lows: 1. No fee checking account for
10 checks per month and six free
ATM transactions. 2. Cash govern­
ment checks for up to $1,000 for cus­
tomers and non-customers alike. 3.
No service charges on savings ac­
counts. Bank absorbs all costs. Min­
nesota Bankers Association ques­
tions the need and the feasibility;
e.g., how will rural banks handle
these costs?

North Dakota
HB1010: This bill originally would
have increased bank assessments
for examinations and placed the in­
creased assessment in the general
fund; i.e., a new tax on banks only.
Now, bill’s aim is to have banks pay
the costs, by assessment on their
examinations, and also pick up the
entire cost of operating the banking
department. Would probably double
cost of assessments to banks. Credit
unions have not been paying an as­
sessment, but a modest fee. They
would be assessed, as well. North
Dakota law requires a state bank be
examined at least every 30 months;
however, the assessments are being
levied on a yearly basis, not just
when an examination is made. Some
banks, in fact, are not being exa­
mined every 30 months because of a
shortage of examiners and experi­
enced examiners. Bill is in Senate
appropriations committee.
HB1049: To create a Community
Property Act; defeated.
HF1349: Change in North Dakota
central filing law voted last year.
Amended to remove USD A objec­
tions that would have voided Cen­
tral Filing Law of 1986.
HB1122: Passed. Supported by
NDBA after amendment. Allows
voluntary turnover of a failing bank
to State Banking Board (would have
provided emergency takeover of a
failing bank by the Board).
HB1137: Passed with emergency

clause. A llow s state-chartered
banks to invest in shares of certain
investm ent com panies (m utual'
funds).
HB1185: Passed. Allow s State
Banking Board emergency takeover
of an insolvent bank with an expe­
dited hearing, or if a previous capital'
adequacy hearing. NDBA sup­
ported, after amendments.
HB1451: Killed. Provided for reci­
procal, interstate banking with
Minn., S.D., Mont. The NDBA was
neutral.
HB1584: Will probably pass. Pro­
vides financial assistance to family
farmers through loan participation,
by the Bank of North Dakota at re­
duced rates. NDBA supports.
HB1605: M andatory m ediation
before action initiated by lender
against a farmer or small business. (
Opposed by NDBA and killed.
HB1617: Killed. Would limit credit
card charge to 15% per year.
HB1652: Allows BHCs to consoli­
date or merge all banks under one
charter (like 1986 Nebraska law
passed). Passed House. Tie vote in
Senate 3/18; back on Senate floor
3/19.
SB2377: Defeated. Would require in­
terest be paid on all escrow ac­
counts.
SB2427: Allow s state-chartered
banks to compete in securities bro­
kerage. NDBA-sponsored. Passed
Senate unopposed. On House calen­
dar with unanimous “ do pass” re­
commendation from committee. □
