 1             (2)  An authorized public officer after ascertaining
 2        which firm will give the most favorable rate of interest,
 3        directs  the  custodial  bank  to  "purchase"   specified
 4        securities  from a designated institution. The "custodial
 5        bank"  is  the  bank  or  trust  company,  or  agency  of
 6        government,  which  acts  for  the   public   agency   in
 7        connection   with  repurchase  agreements  involving  the
 8        investment of funds  by  the  public  agency.  The  State
 9        Treasurer  may  act as custodial bank for public agencies
10        executing  repurchase  agreements.   To  the  extent  the
11        Treasurer acts in this capacity, he is hereby  authorized
12        to  pass  through  to  such  public  agencies any charges
13        assessed by the Federal Reserve Bank.
14             (3)  A custodial bank must be a member bank  of  the
15        Federal  Reserve  System or maintain accounts with member
16        banks.  All transfers of book-entry  securities  must  be
17        accomplished on a Reserve Bank's computer records through
18        a  member  bank  of  the  Federal  Reserve  System. These
19        securities must be credited to the public agency  on  the
20        records of the custodial bank and the transaction must be
21        confirmed   in  writing  to  the  public  agency  by  the
22        custodial bank.
23             (4)  Trading partners shall be limited to  banks  or
24        trust companies authorized to do business in the State of
25        Illinois or to registered primary reporting dealers.
26             (5)  The security interest must be perfected.
27             (6)  The  public agency enters into a written master
28        repurchase   agreement   which   outlines    the    basic
29        responsibilities   and  liabilities  of  both  buyer  and
30        seller.
31             (7)  Agreements shall be for periods of 330 days  or
32        less.
33             (8)  The  authorized  public  officer  of the public
34        agency informs the  custodial  bank  in  writing  of  the
                            -7-                LRB9002795JScc
 1        maturity details of the repurchase agreement.
 2             (9)  The  custodial  bank  must take delivery of and
 3        maintain the securities in its custody for the account of
 4        the public agency and confirm the transaction in  writing
 5        to  the  public  agency.  The Custodial Undertaking shall
 6        provide  that  the  custodian  takes  possession  of  the
 7        securities exclusively for the public  agency;  that  the
 8        securities  are  free  of  any claims against the trading
 9        partner; and any claims by the custodian are  subordinate
10        to   the  public  agency's  claims  to  rights  to  those
11        securities.
12             (10)  The obligations purchased by a  public  agency
13        may  only  be sold or presented for redemption or payment
14        by the fiscal agent bank or  trust  company  holding  the
15        obligations  upon  the  written instruction of the public
16        agency or officer authorized to make such investments.
17             (11)  The custodial bank  shall  be  liable  to  the
18        public  agency  for  any  monetary  loss  suffered by the
19        public agency due to the failure of the custodial bank to
20        take and maintain possession of such securities.
21        (i)  Notwithstanding  the   foregoing   restrictions   on
22    investment  in instruments constituting repurchase agreements
23    the Illinois Housing Development Authority may invest in, and
24    any  financial  institution  with   capital   of   at   least
25    $250,000,000  may  act  as  custodian  for,  instruments that
26    constitute repurchase agreements, provided that the  Illinois
27    Housing   Development   Authority,   in   making   each  such
28    investment, complies with the safety and soundness guidelines
29    for  engaging  in  repurchase  transactions   applicable   to
30    federally  insured  banks,  savings  banks,  savings and loan
31    associations or other depository institutions as set forth in
32    the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council Policy
33    Statement Regarding Repurchase Agreements and any regulations
34    issued, or which may be issued  by  the  supervisory  federal

 1    authority  pertaining  thereto  and  any  amendments thereto;
 2    provided further that the  securities  shall  be  either  (i)
 3    direct  general obligations of, or obligations the payment of
 4    the principal of and/or interest on which are unconditionally
 5    guaranteed by, the United  States  of  America  or  (ii)  any
 6    obligations  of any agency, corporation or subsidiary thereof
 7    controlled or supervised by and acting as an  instrumentality
 8    of the United States Government pursuant to authority granted
 9    by  the  Congress  of  the United States and provided further
10    that the security interest must be perfected  by  either  the
11    Illinois  Housing Development Authority, its custodian or its
12    agent  receiving  possession   of   the   securities   either
13    physically  or  transferred  through  a nationally recognized
14    book entry system.
15        (j)  In addition  to  all  other  investments  authorized
16    under  this  Section, a community college district may invest
17    public funds in any mutual funds  that  invest  primarily  in
18    corporate  investment  grade  or global government short term
19    bonds. Purchases of mutual funds  that  invest  primarily  in
20    global  government short term bonds shall be limited to funds
21    with assets of at least $100 million and that  are  rated  at
22    the time of purchase as one of the 10 highest classifications
23    established  by a recognized rating service.  The investments
24    shall be subject to approval by the local  community  college
25    board  of trustees.  Each community college board of trustees
26    shall develop  a  policy  regarding  the  percentage  of  the
27    college's  investment  portfolio that can be invested in such
28    funds.

28        proposed change in control, are favorable;
29             (3)  that  any  prior  involvement  by  the  persons
30        proposing to obtain control,  to  purchase  substantially
31        all  the  assets,  or  to  assume  substantially  all the
32        liabilities  of  the  State  bank  or  by  the   proposed
33        management    personnel    with   any   other   financial
34        institution, whether as stockholder, director, officer or
                            -10-               LRB9002795JScc
 1        customer, was conducted in a safe and sound manner; and
 2             (4)  that if the acquisition is being made by a bank
 3        holding company, the acquisition is authorized under  the
 4        Illinois Bank Holding Company Act of 1957.
 5        (b)  Persons  desiring to purchase control of an existing
 6    state bank, to purchase substantially all the assets,  or  to
 7    assume  substantially  all  the liabilities of the State bank
 8    shall, prior to that purchase, submit to the Commissioner:
 9             (1)  a statement of financial worth;
10             (2)  satisfactory   evidence    that    any    prior
11        involvement  by  the  persons and the proposed management
12        personnel with any other financial  institution,  whether
13        as   stockholder,  director,  officer  or  customer,  was
14        conducted in a safe and sound manner; and
15             (3)  such  other   relevant   information   as   the
16        Commissioner  may  request  to  substantiate the findings
17        under subsection (a) of this Section.
18        As used in this Section, the  term  "control"  means  the
19    ownership  of  such  amount of stock or ability to direct the
20    voting of such  stock  as  to  give  power  to,  directly  or
21    indirectly,  direct  or cause the direction of the management
22    or policies of the bank.  A  change  in  ownership  of  stock
23    which  would  result  in  direct  or  indirect ownership by a
24    stockholder, an affiliated group of stockholders or a holding
25    company of less than 10  percent  of  the  outstanding  stock
26    shall  not  be  considered  a change of control.  A change in
27    ownership of stock which would result in direct  or  indirect
28    ownership   by   a   stockholder,   an  affiliated  group  of
29    stockholders or a holding  company  of  20  percent  or  such
30    lesser  amount  which  would  entitle  the holder by applying
31    cumulative voting to elect one director shall be presumed  to
32    constitute  a  change of control for purposes of this Section
33    18.  If there is any doubt as to  whether  a  change  in  the
34    ownership  or  control of the outstanding stock is sufficient
                            -11-               LRB9002795JScc
 1    to result in obtaining control thereof or to effect a  change
 2    in the control thereof, such doubt shall be resolved in favor
 3    of reporting the facts to the Commissioner.
 4        As  used  in this Section, "substantially all" the assets
 5    or liabilities of a State bank  means  that  portion  of  the
 6    assets  or  liabilities  of  a  State  bank  such  that their
 7    purchase or transfer will materially impair  the  ability  of
 8    the  State  bank  to  continue  successful,  safe,  and sound
 9    operations or to continue as a going concern or  would  cause
10    the bank to lose its federal deposit insurance.
11        (b-1)  Any  person  who  obtains ownership of stock of an
12    existing State bank  or  stock  of  a  holding  company  that
13    controls the State bank by gift, bequest, or inheritance such
14    that  ownership  of the stock would constitute control of the
15    State bank or holding company may obtain title and  ownership
16    of  the  stock, but may not exercise management or control of
17    the business and affairs of the  bank  or  vote  his  or  her
18    shares  so  as  to  exercise management or control unless and
19    until the Commissioner approves an application for the change
20    of control as provided in subsection (b) of this Section.
21        (c)  Whenever  a  state  bank  makes  a  loan  or  loans,
22    secured, or to be secured, by 25% or more of the  outstanding
23    stock of a state bank, the president or other chief executive
24    officer  of  the lending bank shall promptly report such fact
25    to the Commissioner upon obtaining knowledge of such loan  or
26    loans,  except  that  no  report  need be made in those cases
27    where the borrower has been the owner of record of the  stock
28    for  a  period of one year or more, or the stock is that of a
29    newly organized bank prior to its opening.
30        (d)  The reports required by subsections (b) and  (c)  of
31    this  Section  18, other than those relating to a transfer of
32    assets  or  assumption  of  liabilities,  shall  contain  the
33    following information to the extent that it is known  by  the
34    person  making the report: (1) the number of shares involved;

11    to the foregoing,  such  reports  shall  contain  such  other
12    information  which is requested by the Commissioner to inform
13    the Commissioner  of  the  effect  of  the  transaction  upon
14    control of the bank whose stock is involved.
15        (d-1)  The  reports  required  by  subsection (b) of this
16    Section 18 that relate to purchase of assets  and  assumption
17    of liabilities shall contain the following information to the
18    extent that it is known by the person making the report:  (1)
19    the value, amount, and description of the assets transferred;
20    (2)  the  amount,  type, and to whom each type of liabilities
21    are owed; (3) the names of the purchasers  (or  transferees);

31    are purchased or liabilities are transferred.
32        (e)  Whenever such a change as  described  in  subsection
33    (a)  of  this Section 18 occurs, each state bank shall report
34    promptly to the Commissioner any changes  or  replacement  of

 4    affiliations of the new chief executive officer or directors.
 5        (f)  (Blank).
 6        (g) (1)  Except  as  otherwise expressly provided in this
 7        subsection (g), the Commissioners shall  not  approve  an
 8        application  for a change in control if upon consummation
 9        of the change in control the  persons  applying  for  the
10        change  in  control,  including  any  affiliates  of  the
11        persons  applying, would control 30% or more of the total
12        amount of deposits which are located  in  this  State  at

30        (g)(1) of this Section, the Commissioner may  approve  an
31        application for a change in control for a bank that is in
32        default   or  in  danger  of  default.  Except  in  those
