  4 25                           EXPLANATION
  4 26    This bill allows state banks to establish additional bank
  4 27 offices, in two phases.
  4 28    The first phase is effective upon enactment, and involves
  4 29 an amendment to Code section 524.1202 to provide that,
  4 30 notwithstanding other restrictions in the chapter to the
  4 31 contrary and subject to approval by the superintendent, a
  4 32 state bank can establish up to three bank offices at any
  4 33 location in Iowa in addition to the bank offices that can be
  4 34 established pursuant to Code chapter 524.  A branch of an out-
  4 35 of-state national or state bank is also permitted to establish
  5  1 up to three bank offices at any location in Iowa in addition
  5  2 to the bank offices that may be established pursuant to Code
  5  3 chapter 524, provided that no more than a total of three such
  5  4 bank offices may be established by all branches collectively
  5  5 by an out-of-state bank.
  5  6    In a related action, the bill amends Code section 524.1213
  5  7 to provide that a bank that changes to a principal place of
  5  8 business or to a united community bank office due to merger or
  5  9 consolidation after January 1, 2001, may establish the number
  5 10 of additional bank offices it would have been entitled to
  5 11 establish under Code section 524.1202 prior to the merger or
  5 12 consolidation.
  5 13    The other Code section that is amended upon enactment is
  5 14 Code section 524.1205.  The bill divides the existing section
  5 15 into subsections, and deletes an outdated reference
  5 16 restricting interstate merger transactions under 12 U.S.C. }
  5 17 1831(u) prior to June 1, 1997.
  5 18    The second phase of the bill takes effect on July 1, 2004.
  5 19 At that time, Code section 524.1201 is amended to provide that
  5 20 a state bank may establish any number of bank offices at any
  5 21 location in the state, subject to the approval and regulation
  5 22 of the superintendent.  In a related action, Code sections
  5 23 524.1202 and 524.1213 are repealed at that time.  Related
  5 24 changes are made to Code sections 524.1204, 524.1205,
  5 25 524.1212, and 524.1419 to delete references to the repealed
  5 26 Code section 524.1202.  Code section 534.214 is amended to
  5 27 delete a provision relating to the restrictions on the number
  5 28 of offices a bank may establish.
  5 29    Portions of the bill take effect upon enactment and will be
  5 30 codified in the next edition of the Code.  The provisions of
  5 31 the bill that do not take effect until July 1, 2004, will not
  5 32 be codified until that time.  Prior to that time, references
  5 33 to the session law will be contained in footnotes to the
  5 34 appropriate Code sections.
