4 an examination. A person so appointed shall not be a
5 stockholder or officer or employee of any bank which that
6 person may be directed to examine, and shall have powers to
7 make a thorough examination into all the affairs of the bank
8 and in so doing to examine any of the officers or agents or

17 and the effect of those relations upon the affairs of the bank,
18 and in connection therewith shall have power to examine any of
19 the officers, directors, agents, or employees of the
20 subsidiaries or affiliates on oath. After May 31, 1997, the
21 Commissioner may enter into cooperative agreements with state
22 regulatory authorities of other states to provide for
23 examination of State bank branches in those states, and the
24 Commissioner may accept reports of examinations of State bank

7 for examinations under this subsection (b). The fees shall be
8 borne by the out-of-state bank, unless the fees are borne by
9 the state regulatory authority that chartered the out-of-state
10 bank, as determined by a cooperative agreement between the
11 Commissioner and the state regulatory authority that chartered
12 the out-of-state bank.
13 (2.5) Whenever any State bank, any subsidiary or affiliate
14 of a State bank, or after May 31, 1997, any branch of an
15 out-of-state bank causes to be performed, by contract or
16 otherwise, any bank services for itself, whether on or off its
17 premises:
18 (a) that performance shall be subject to examination by
19 the Commissioner to the same extent as if services were
20 being performed by the bank or, after May 31, 1997, branch
21 of the out-of-state bank itself on its own premises; and
22 (b) the bank or, after May 31, 1997, branch of the
23 out-of-state bank shall notify the Commissioner of the
24 existence of a service relationship. The notification
25 shall be submitted with the first statement of condition
26 (as required by Section 47 of this Act) due after the

SB2581 Enrolled - 21 - LRB096 16851 MJR 32162 b
1 making of the service contract or the performance of the

13 expense of the examinations of State banks as provided in this
14 Act, shall to the extent of the amounts resulting from the fees
15 provided for in paragraphs (a), (a-2), and (b) of this
16 subsection (3) be assessed against and borne by the State
17 banks:
18 (a) Each bank shall pay to the Secretary a Call Report
19 Fee which shall be paid in quarterly installments equal to
20 one-fourth of the sum of the annual fixed fee of $800, plus
21 a variable fee based on the assets shown on the quarterly
22 statement of condition delivered to the Secretary in

8 47. The Secretary may require payment of the fees provided
9 in this Section by an electronic transfer of funds or an
10 automatic debit of an account of each of the State banks.
11 In case more than one examination of any bank is deemed by
12 the Secretary to be necessary in any examination frequency
13 cycle specified in subsection 2(a) of this Section, and is
14 performed at his direction, the Secretary may assess a
15 reasonable additional fee to recover the cost of the
16 additional examination; provided, however, that an
17 examination conducted at the request of the State Treasurer
18 pursuant to the Uniform Disposition of Unclaimed Property
19 Act shall not be deemed to be an additional examination
20 under this Section. In lieu of the method and amounts set
21 forth in this paragraph (a) for the calculation of the Call
22 Report Fee, the Secretary may specify by rule that the Call
23 Report Fees provided by this Section may be assessed
24 semiannually or some other period and may provide in the
25 rule the formula to be used for calculating and assessing
26 the periodic Call Report Fees to be paid by State banks.

9 ending June 30, 1987, a contingent fee equal to the lesser
10 of the aggregate of the fees paid by all State banks under
11 paragraph (a) of subsection (3) for that year, or the
12 amount, if any, whereby the aggregate of the administration
13 expenses, as defined in paragraph (c), for that fiscal year

1 foreign banking corporations, respectively, in the same
2 proportion that the fee of each under paragraph (a) of

6 the contingent fee, and the portion thereof to be assessed
7 upon each State bank and foreign banking corporation,
8 respectively, shall be determined by the Commissioner and
9 shall be paid by each, respectively, within 120 days of the

12 days advance notice of the amount of the contingent fee
13 payable by the State bank and of the date fixed by the
14 Commissioner for payment of the fee.
15 (c) The "administration expenses" for any fiscal year

12 extent that those expenditures are directly incidental to
13 such examinations or administration. The Commissioner
14 shall not be required by paragraphs (c) or (d-1) of this
15 subsection (3) to maintain in any fiscal year's budget
16 appropriated reserves for accrued vacation and accrued
17 sick leave that is required to be paid to employees of the
18 Commissioner upon termination of their service with the
19 Commissioner in an amount that is more than is reasonably
20 anticipated to be necessary for any anticipated turnover in
21 employees, whether due to normal attrition or due to
22 layoffs, terminations, or resignations.
23 (d) The aggregate of all fees collected by the
24 Secretary under this Act, the Corporate Fiduciary Act, or

7 Bank and Trust Company Fund and may be used for the same
8 purposes as fees deposited in that Fund. The amount from
9 time to time deposited into the Bank and Trust Company Fund
10 shall be used: (i) to offset the ordinary administrative
11 expenses of the Secretary as defined in this Section or
12 (ii) as a credit against fees under paragraph (d-1) of this
13 subsection (3). Nothing in this amendatory Act of 1979
14 shall prevent continuing the practice of paying expenses
15 involving salaries, retirement, social security, and
16 State-paid insurance premiums of State officers by
17 appropriations from the General Revenue Fund. However, the
18 General Revenue Fund shall be reimbursed for those payments
19 made on and after July 1, 1979, by an annual transfer of
20 funds from the Bank and Trust Company Fund. Moneys in the
21 Bank and Trust Company Fund may be transferred to the
22 Professions Indirect Cost Fund, as authorized under

5 of this amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly, or as
6 soon thereafter as practical.
7 Notwithstanding provisions in the State Finance Act,
8 as now or hereafter amended, or any other law to the
9 contrary, the Governor may, during any fiscal year through

11 Treasurer and Comptroller to transfer a specified sum not
12 exceeding 10% of the revenues to be deposited into the Bank
13 and Trust Company Fund during that fiscal year from that
14 Fund to the General Revenue Fund in order to help defray
15 the State's operating costs for the fiscal year.
16 Notwithstanding provisions in the State Finance Act, as now
17 or hereafter amended, or any other law to the contrary, the
18 total sum transferred during any fiscal year through
19 January 10, 2011, from the Bank and Trust Company Fund to
20 the General Revenue Fund pursuant to this provision shall
21 not exceed during any fiscal year 10% of the revenues to be
22 deposited into the Bank and Trust Company Fund during that
23 fiscal year. The State Treasurer and Comptroller shall
24 transfer the amounts designated under this Section as soon
25 as may be practicable after receiving the direction to
26 transfer from the Governor.

1 (d-1) Adequate funds shall be available in the Bank and
2 Trust Company Fund to permit the timely payment of
3 administration expenses. In each fiscal year the total

6 transferred into the Cash Flow Reserve Account, unless the
7 balance of the Cash Flow Reserve Account prior to the
8 transfer equals or exceeds one-fourth of the total initial
9 appropriations from the Bank and Trust Company Fund for the
10 subsequent year, in which case the remainder shall be
11 credited to State banks and foreign banking corporations
12 and applied against their fees for the subsequent year. The
13 amount credited to each State bank and foreign banking
14 corporation shall be in the same proportion as the Call
15 Report Fees paid by each for the year bear to the total
16 Call Report Fees collected for the year. If, after a
17 transfer to the Cash Flow Reserve Account is made or if no
18 remainder is available for transfer, the balance of the
19 Cash Flow Reserve Account is less than one-fourth of the
20 total initial appropriations for the subsequent year and
21 the amount transferred is less than 5% of the total Call
22 Report Fees for the year, additional amounts needed to make
23 the transfer equal to 5% of the total Call Report Fees for
24 the year shall be apportioned amongst, assessed upon, and
25 paid by the State banks and foreign banking corporations in
26 the same proportion that the Call Report Fees of each,

SB2581 Enrolled - 30 - LRB096 16851 MJR 32162 b
1 respectively, for the year bear to the total Call Report
2 Fees collected for the year. The additional amounts
3 assessed shall be transferred into the Cash Flow Reserve
4 Account. For purposes of this paragraph (d-1), the
5 calculation of the fees collected by the Commissioner shall
6 exclude the receivership fees provided for in Section 5-10
7 of the Corporate Fiduciary Act.

18 limit the obligation relative to examinations and reports of
19 any State bank, deposits in which are to any extent insured by
20 the United States or any agency thereof, nor to limit in any
21 way the powers of the Commissioner with reference to
22 examinations and reports of that bank.
23 (5) The nature and condition of the assets in or investment
24 of any bonus, pension, or profit sharing plan for officers or

6 fraudulent, or unsafe, or that any trustee has abused his
7 trust, the Commissioner shall, if the situation so found by the
8 Commissioner shall not be corrected to his satisfaction within
9 60 days after the Commissioner has given notice to the board of
10 directors of the State bank or out-of-state bank of his
11 findings, report the facts to the Attorney General who shall
