House Study Bill 724

Conference Committee Text

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