  1  1    Section 1.  Section 536A.12, Code 1995, is amended to read
  1  2 as follows:
  1  3    536A.12  CONTINUING LICENSE – ANNUAL FEE – CHANGE OF
  1  4 LOCATION – CHANGE OF CONTROL.
  1  5    1.  Each such license remains in full force and effect
  1  6 until surrendered, revoked, or suspended, or until there is a
  1  7 change of control on or after January 1, 1996.  A licensee
  1  8 shall, on or before the second day of January, shall pay to
  1  9 the superintendent the sum of fifty dollars as an annual
  1 10 license fee for the succeeding calendar year.  When a licensee
  1 11 changes its place of business from one location to another in
  1 12 the same city, it shall at once give written notice to the
  1 13 superintendent who shall attach to the license in writing the
  1 14 superintendent's record of the change and the date of the
  1 15 change, which is authority for the operation of the business
  1 16 under that license at the new place of business.
  1 17    2.  A person who proposes to purchase or otherwise acquire,
  1 18 directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding shares of an
  1 19 industrial loan company which would result in a change of
  1 20 control of the industrial loan company, shall first apply in
  1 21 writing to the superintendent for a certificate of approval
  1 22 for the proposed change of control.  The superintendent shall
  1 23 grant the certificate if the superintendent is satisfied that
  1 24 the person who proposes to obtain control of the industrial
  1 25 loan company is qualified by character, experience, and
  1 26 financial responsibility to control and operate the industrial
  1 27 loan company in a sound and legal manner, and that the
  1 28 interests of the thrift certificate holders, creditors, and
  1 29 shareholders of the industrial loan company, and of the public
  1 30 generally, shall not be jeopardized by the proposed change of
  1 31 control.  If a board member of the industrial loan company has
  1 32 reason to believe any of the requirements of this subsection
  1 33 have not been complied with, the board member shall promptly
  1 34 report in writing such facts to the superintendent.  If there
  1 35 is any doubt as to whether a change in the ownership of the
  2  1 outstanding shares is sufficient to result in control of the
  2  2 industrial loan company, or to effect a change in the control
  2  3 of the industrial loan company, such doubt shall be resolved
  2  4 in favor of reporting the facts to the superintendent.
  2  5    3.  a.  For purposes of this section, "control" means
  2  6 control as defined in section 524.103.  However, a change of
  2  7 control does not occur when a majority shareholder of an
  2  8 industrial loan company transfers the shareholder's shares of
  2  9 the industrial loan company to a revocable trust, so long as
  2 10 the transferor retains the power to revoke the trust and take
  2 11 possession of such shares.
  2 12    b.  Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph "a", a
  2 13 change of control is deemed to occur two years after the death
  2 14 of the majority shareholder, whether the shareholder's shares
  2 15 of the industrial loan company are held in a revocable trust
  2 16 or otherwise.
  2 17    Sec. 2.  Section 536A.19, Code 1995, is amended to read as
  2 18 follows:
  2 19    536A.19  RECEIVERSHIP – LIQUIDATION.
  2 20    1.  If the superintendent shall revoke revokes the license
  2 21 of any industrial loan company the superintendent shall
  2 22 promptly report the revocation to the attorney general of Iowa
  2 23 who may apply to the district court of the county in which the
  2 24 licensee had conducted its business for the appointment of a
  2 25 receiver to take possession of the assets of the corporation
  2 26 for the purpose of liquidating its affairs.  The court shall
  2 27 appoint the superintendent as receiver unless the
  2 28 superintendent has tendered the appointment to the federal
  2 29 deposit insurance corporation, in which case the court shall
  2 30 appoint the federal deposit insurance corporation as receiver.
  2 31 The affairs of the industrial loan company, after such
  2 32 appointment, shall be under the direction of the court.  The
  2 33 attorney general shall represent the superintendent in all
  2 34 proceedings connected with the receivership.
  2 35    2.  When an insured industrial loan company has ceased to
  3  1 carry on its business, the superintendent may tender the
  3  2 appointment as receiver of the insured industrial loan company
  3  3 to the federal deposit insurance corporation.  If the federal
  3  4 deposit insurance corporation accepts the appointment as
  3  5 receiver, the rights of depositors and other creditors of the
  3  6 insured industrial loan company shall be determined in
  3  7 accordance with the laws of this state.
  3  8    3.  The federal deposit insurance corporation as receiver
  3  9 shall possess all of the powers, rights, and privileges of the
  3 10 superintendent in connection with the liquidation.
  3 11    4.  If the federal deposit insurance corporation pays or
  3 12 makes available for payment the insured deposit liabilities of
  3 13 an insured industrial loan company, the federal deposit
  3 14 insurance corporation, whether or not it has become receiver,
  3 15 shall be subrogated to all rights of the owners of such
  3 16 deposits against the insured industrial loan company in the
  3 17 same manner and to the same extent as subrogation of the
  3 18 federal deposit insurance corporation is provided for in
  3 19 applicable federal law with respect to a national bank.
  3 20    Sec. 3.  Section 536A.22, Code 1995, is amended to read as
  3 21 follows:
  3 22    536A.22  THRIFT CERTIFICATES.
  3 23    Licensed industrial loan companies may sell senior debt to
  3 24 the general public in the form of thrift certificates,
  3 25 installment thrift certificates, certificates of indebtedness,
  3 26 promissory notes, or similar evidences of indebtedness if such
  3 27 debt instruments are insured by a federal deposit insurance
  3 28 agency.  Licensees selling debt instruments on January 1,
  3 29 1996, may continue to do so without obtaining federal deposit
  3 30 insurance until there is a change of control of the licensee
  3 31 which occurs on or after January 1, 1996.  If there is a
  3 32 change of control of a licensee on or after January 1, 1996,
  3 33 and the licensee has sold senior debt instruments that are not
  3 34 insured by a federal deposit insurance agency, such
  3 35 outstanding senior debt instruments that do not have a stated
  4  1 maturity date shall be redeemed within six months of the date
  4  2 of the change of control.  Such outstanding senior debt
  4  3 instruments with stated maturity dates shall be redeemed on
  4  4 their stated maturity dates.
  4  5    PARAGRAPH DIVIDED.  The total amount of such thrift
  4  6 certificates, installment thrift certificates, certificates of
  4  7 indebtedness, promissory notes, or similar evidences of
  4  8 indebtedness outstanding and in the hands of the general
  4  9 public shall not at any time exceed ten times the total amount
  4 10 of capital, surplus, undivided profits, and subordinated debt
  4 11 that gives priority to such securities of the issuing
  4 12 industrial loan company.  The sale of such securities is
  4 13 subject to the provisions of chapter 502 and rules adopted by
  4 14 the superintendent of banking pursuant to chapter 17A, and
  4 15 shall not be construed to be exempt by reason of the
  4 16 provisions of section 502.202, subsection 10, except that the
  4 17 sale of thrift certificates or installment thrift certificates
  4 18 which are redeemable by the holder either upon demand or
  4 19 within a period not in excess of five years are exempt from
  4 20 sections 502.201 and 502.602.
  4 21    For purposes of this section, "control" means control as
  4 22 defined in section 524.103.
