  4 16                           EXPLANATION
  4 17    This bill allows state banks to establish additional bank
  4 18 offices, in two phases.
  4 19    The first phase is effective upon enactment, and involves
  4 20 an amendment to Code section 524.1202 to provide that,
  4 21 notwithstanding other restrictions in the chapter to the
  4 22 contrary and subject to approval by the superintendent, a
  4 23 state bank can establish up to three bank offices at any
  4 24 location in Iowa.  In a related action, the bill amends Code
  4 25 section 524.1213 to provide that a bank that changes to a
  4 26 principal place of business or to a bank office of a united
  4 27 community bank due to merger or consolidation may establish
  4 28 the number of additional bank offices it would have been
  4 29 entitled to establish under Code section 524.1202 prior to the
  4 30 merger or consolidation.
  4 31    The other Code section that is amended upon enactment is
  4 32 Code section 524.1205.  The bill divides the existing section
  4 33 into subsections, and deletes an outdated reference
  4 34 restricting interstate merger transactions under 12 U.S.C. }
  4 35 1831(u) prior to June 1, 1997.
  5  1    The second phase of the bill takes effect on July 1, 2004.
  5  2 At that time, Code section 524.1201 is amended to provide that
  5  3 a state bank may establish any number of bank offices at any
  5  4 location in the state, subject to the approval and regulation
  5  5 of the superintendent.  In a related action, Code sections
  5  6 524.1202 and 524.1213 are repealed at that time.  Related
  5  7 changes are made to Code sections 524.1204, 524.1205,
  5  8 524.1212, and 524.1419 to delete references to the repealed
  5  9 Code section 524.1202.  Code section 534.214 deletes a
  5 10 provision relating to the restrictions on the number of
  5 11 offices a bank may establish.
  5 12    Portions of the bill take effect upon enactment and will be
  5 13 codified in the next edition of the Code.  The provisions of
  5 14 the bill that do not take effect until July 1, 2004, will not
  5 15 be codified until that time.  Prior to that time, references
  5 16 to the session law will be contained in footnotes to the
  5 17 appropriate Code sections.
