6    of the out-of-state bank itself on its own premises; and
7        (b) the bank or, after May 31, 1997, branch of the

5    under this Section. In lieu of the method and amounts set
6    forth in this paragraph (a) for the calculation of the Call
7    Report Fee, the Secretary may specify by rule that the Call
8    Report Fees provided by this Section may be assessed

17    and necessary expenses of the Commissioner during the

7    expenses of the Commissioner during examination of the
8    performance of electronic data processing services under
9    subsection (2.5) at or on behalf of branches of

11    banks, unless those expenses are borne by the state
12    regulatory authorities that chartered the out-of-state
13    banks, as determined by cooperative agreements between the
14    Commissioner and the state regulatory authorities that
15    chartered the out-of-state banks.

12    foreign banking corporations, respectively, in the same
13    proportion that the fee of each under paragraph (a) of
14    subsection (3), respectively, for that year bears to the
15    aggregate for that year of the fees collected under
16    paragraph (a) of subsection (3). The aggregate amount of
17    the contingent fee, and the portion thereof to be assessed

21    close of the period for which the contingent fee is
22    computed and is payable, and the Commissioner shall give 20

19    with respect thereto, all to the extent that those
20    expenditures are directly incidental to such examinations
21    or administration. The Commissioner shall not be required
22    by paragraphs (c) or (d-1) of this subsection (3) to
23    maintain in any fiscal year's budget appropriated reserves
24    for accrued vacation and accrued sick leave that is
25    required to be paid to employees of the Commissioner upon

13    Section. All earnings received from investments of funds in
14    the Bank and Trust Company Fund shall be deposited in the
15    Bank and Trust Company Fund and may be used for the same

17    time to time deposited into the Bank and Trust Company Fund

19    expenses of the Secretary as defined in this Section or
20    (ii) as a credit against fees under paragraph (d-1) of this
21    subsection (3). Nothing in this amendatory Act of 1979
22    shall prevent continuing the practice of paying expenses
23    involving salaries, retirement, social security, and
24    State-paid insurance premiums of State officers by
25    appropriations from the General Revenue Fund. However, the

15        Notwithstanding provisions in the State Finance Act,
16    as now or hereafter amended, or any other law to the
17    contrary, the Governor may, during any fiscal year through
18    January 10, 2011, from time to time direct the State
19    Treasurer and Comptroller to transfer a specified sum not
20    exceeding 10% of the revenues to be deposited into the Bank
21    and Trust Company Fund during that fiscal year from that
22    Fund to the General Revenue Fund in order to help defray
23    the State's operating costs for the fiscal year.

25    or hereafter amended, or any other law to the contrary, the
26    total sum transferred during any fiscal year through

2    the General Revenue Fund pursuant to this provision shall
3    not exceed during any fiscal year 10% of the revenues to be
4    deposited into the Bank and Trust Company Fund during that
5    fiscal year. The State Treasurer and Comptroller shall
6    transfer the amounts designated under this Section as soon
7    as may be practicable after receiving the direction to
8    transfer from the Governor.
9        (d-1) Adequate funds shall be available in the Bank and
10    Trust Company Fund to permit the timely payment of
11    administration expenses. In each fiscal year the total
12    administration expenses shall be deducted from the total
13    fees collected by the Commissioner and the remainder
14    transferred into the Cash Flow Reserve Account, unless the
15    balance of the Cash Flow Reserve Account prior to the
16    transfer equals or exceeds one-fourth of the total initial
17    appropriations from the Bank and Trust Company Fund for the
18    subsequent year, in which case the remainder shall be
19    credited to State banks and foreign banking corporations
20    and applied against their fees for the subsequent year. The
21    amount credited to each State bank and foreign banking
22    corporation shall be in the same proportion as the Call
23    Report Fees paid by each for the year bear to the total
24    Call Report Fees collected for the year. If, after a
25    transfer to the Cash Flow Reserve Account is made or if no
26    remainder is available for transfer, the balance of the

1    Cash Flow Reserve Account is less than one-fourth of the
2    total initial appropriations for the subsequent year and
3    the amount transferred is less than 5% of the total Call
4    Report Fees for the year, additional amounts needed to make
5    the transfer equal to 5% of the total Call Report Fees for
6    the year shall be apportioned amongst, assessed upon, and
7    paid by the State banks and foreign banking corporations in
8    the same proportion that the Call Report Fees of each,
9    respectively, for the year bear to the total Call Report
10    Fees collected for the year. The additional amounts
11    assessed shall be transferred into the Cash Flow Reserve
12    Account. For purposes of this paragraph (d-1), the
13    calculation of the fees collected by the Commissioner shall
14    exclude the receivership fees provided for in Section 5-10
15    of the Corporate Fiduciary Act.
16        (e) The Commissioner may upon request certify to any
17    public record in his keeping and shall have authority to
18    levy a reasonable charge for issuing certifications of any
19    public record in his keeping.
20        (f) In addition to fees authorized elsewhere in this
21    Act, the Commissioner may, in connection with a review,
22    approval, or provision of a service, levy a reasonable
23    charge to recover the cost of the review, approval, or
24    service.

26limit the obligation relative to examinations and reports of

9affairs of that State bank or branch of an out-of-state bank
10subject to examination by the Commissioner under the provisions
11of subsection (2) of this Section, and if the Commissioner
12shall find from an examination that the condition of or

14fraudulent, or unsafe, or that any trustee has abused his
15trust, the Commissioner shall, if the situation so found by the
16Commissioner shall not be corrected to his satisfaction within
1760 days after the Commissioner has given notice to the board of
18directors of the State bank or out-of-state bank of his
19findings, report the facts to the Attorney General who shall
20thereupon institute proceedings against the State bank or
21out-of-state bank, the board of directors thereof, or the
22trustees under such plan as the nature of the case may require.

9which may be amended from time to time, a credit union may
10establish one or more charitable donation accounts. The
11investments and purchases to fund a charitable donation account
12are not subject to the investment limitations of this Act,

2    (205 ILCS 305/46)  (from Ch. 17, par. 4447)
3    Sec. 46. Loans and interest rate.
4    (1) A credit union may make loans to its members for such
5purpose and upon such security and terms, including rates of
6interest, as the credit committee, credit manager, or loan
7officer approves. Notwithstanding the provisions of any other
8law in connection with extensions of credit, a credit union may
9elect to contract for and receive interest and fees and other
10charges for extensions of credit subject only to the provisions
11of this Act and rules promulgated under this Act, except that
12extensions of credit secured by residential real estate shall
13be subject to the laws applicable thereto. The rates of
14interest to be charged on loans to members shall be set by the
15board of directors of each individual credit union in
16accordance with Section 30 of this Act and such rates may be
17less than, but may not exceed, the maximum rate set forth in
18this Section. A borrower may repay his loan prior to maturity,
19in whole or in part, without penalty. The credit contract may
20provide for the payment by the member and receipt by the credit
21union of all costs and disbursements, including reasonable
22attorney's fees and collection agency charges, incurred by the
23credit union to collect or enforce the debt in the event of a
24delinquency by the member, or in the event of a breach of any
25obligation of the member under the credit contract. A

1contingency or hourly arrangement established under an
2agreement entered into by a credit union with an attorney or
3collection agency to collect a loan of a member in default
4shall be presumed prima facie reasonable.
5    (2) Credit unions may make loans based upon the security of
6any interest or equity in real estate, subject to rules and
7regulations promulgated by the Secretary. In any contract or
8loan which is secured by a mortgage, deed of trust, or
9conveyance in the nature of a mortgage, on residential real
10estate, the interest which is computed, calculated, charged, or
11collected pursuant to such contract or loan, or pursuant to any
12regulation or rule promulgated pursuant to this Act, may not be
13computed, calculated, charged or collected for any period of
14time occurring after the date on which the total indebtedness,
15with the exception of late payment penalties, is paid in full.
16    For purposes of this subsection (2) of this Section 46, a
17prepayment shall mean the payment of the total indebtedness,
18with the exception of late payment penalties if incurred or
19charged, on any date before the date specified in the contract
20or loan agreement on which the total indebtedness shall be paid
21in full, or before the date on which all payments, if timely
22made, shall have been made. In the event of a prepayment of the
23indebtedness which is made on a date after the date on which
24interest on the indebtedness was last computed, calculated,
25charged, or collected but before the next date on which
26interest on the indebtedness was to be calculated, computed,

 

 

HB5342 Enrolled- 42 -LRB098 19293 ZMM 55277 b

1charged, or collected, the lender may calculate, charge and
2collect interest on the indebtedness for the period which
3elapsed between the date on which the prepayment is made and
4the date on which interest on the indebtedness was last
5computed, calculated, charged or collected at a rate equal to
61/360 of the annual rate for each day which so elapsed, which
7rate shall be applied to the indebtedness outstanding as of the
8date of prepayment. The lender shall refund to the borrower any
9interest charged or collected which exceeds that which the
10lender may charge or collect pursuant to the preceding
11sentence. The provisions of this amendatory Act of 1985 shall
12apply only to contracts or loans entered into on or after the
13effective date of this amendatory Act.
14    (3) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, a
15credit union authorized under this Act to make loans secured by
16an interest or equity in real estate may engage in making
17"reverse mortgage" loans to persons for the purpose of making
18home improvements or repairs, paying insurance premiums or
19paying real estate taxes on the homestead properties of such
20persons. If made, such loans shall be made on such terms and
21conditions as the credit union shall determine and as shall be
22consistent with the provisions of this Section and such rules
23and regulations as the Secretary shall promulgate hereunder.
24For purposes of this Section, a "reverse mortgage" loan shall
25be a loan extended on the basis of existing equity in homestead
26property and secured by a mortgage on such property. Such loans

 

 

HB5342 Enrolled- 43 -LRB098 19293 ZMM 55277 b

1shall be repaid upon the sale of the property or upon the death
2of the owner or, if the property is in joint tenancy, upon the
3death of the last surviving joint tenant who had such an
4interest in the property at the time the loan was initiated,
5provided, however, that the credit union and its member may by
6mutual agreement, establish other repayment terms. A credit
7union, in making a "reverse mortgage" loan, may add deferred
8interest to principal or otherwise provide for the charging of
9interest or premiums on such deferred interest. "Homestead"
10property, for purposes of this Section, means the domicile and
11contiguous real estate owned and occupied by the mortgagor.
12    (4) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Act, a
13credit union authorized under this Act to make loans secured by
14an interest or equity in real property may engage in making
15revolving credit loans secured by mortgages or deeds of trust
16on such real property or by security assignments of beneficial
17interests in land trusts.
18    For purposes of this Section, "revolving credit" has the
19meaning defined in Section 4.1 of the Interest Act.
20    Any mortgage or deed of trust given to secure a revolving
21credit loan may, and when so expressed therein shall, secure
22not only the existing indebtedness but also such future
23advances, whether such advances are obligatory or to be made at
24the option of the lender, or otherwise, as are made within
25twenty years from the date thereof, to the same extent as if
26such future advances were made on the date of the execution of

 

 

HB5342 Enrolled- 44 -LRB098 19293 ZMM 55277 b

1such mortgage or deed of trust, although there may be no
2advance made at the time of execution of such mortgage or other
3instrument, and although there may be no indebtedness
4outstanding at the time any advance is made. The lien of such
5mortgage or deed of trust, as to third persons without actual
6notice thereof, shall be valid as to all such indebtedness and
7future advances form the time said mortgage or deed of trust is
8filed for record in the office of the recorder of deeds or the
9registrar of titles of the county where the real property
10described therein is located. The total amount of indebtedness
11that may be so secured may increase or decrease from time to
12time, but the total unpaid balance so secured at any one time
13shall not exceed a maximum principal amount which must be
14specified in such mortgage or deed of trust, plus interest
15thereon, and any disbursements made for the payment of taxes,
16special assessments, or insurance on said real property, with
17interest on such disbursements.
18    Any such mortgage or deed of trust shall be valid and have
19priority over all subsequent liens and encumbrances, including
20statutory liens, except taxes and assessments levied on said
21real property.
22    (5) Compliance with federal or Illinois preemptive laws or
23regulations governing loans made by a credit union chartered
24under this Act shall constitute compliance with this Act.
25    (6) Credit unions may make residential real estate mortgage
26loans on terms and conditions established by the United States

 

 

HB5342 Enrolled- 45 -LRB098 19293 ZMM 55277 b

1Department of Agriculture through its Rural Development
2Housing and Community Facilities Program. The portion of any
3loan in excess of the appraised value of the real estate shall
4be allocable only to the guarantee fee required under the
5program.
6    (7) For a renewal, refinancing, or restructuring of an
7existing loan that is secured by an interest or equity in real
8estate, a new appraisal of the collateral shall not be required
9when the transaction involves an existing extension of credit
10at the credit union, no new moneys are advanced other than
11funds necessary to cover reasonable closing costs, and there
12has been no obvious or material change in market conditions or
13physical aspects of the real estate that threatens the adequacy
14of the credit union's real estate collateral protection after
15the transaction.
