Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

205 ILCS 5/13.5

    (205 ILCS 5/13.5)
    Sec. 13.5. Formation and merger of interim banks.
    (a) An interim bank may be chartered as a State bank for the exclusive purpose of accomplishing a corporate restructuring through merger with an existing State bank, national bank, trust company, or an insured savings association. An interim bank shall be chartered and merged pursuant to the provisions of this Section. The interim bank shall not accept deposits, make loans, pay checks, or engage in the general banking business or any part thereof, and shall not be subject to the provisions of this Act other than those set forth in this Section; provided, however, that if the interim bank becomes the resulting bank in a merger, such resulting bank shall have all of the powers, rights, and duties of a State bank and must comply with all applicable provisions of this Act.
    (b) An interim State bank may be organized upon application by 5 or more incorporators or by a bank holding company. The application shall be made on forms prescribed by the Commissioner which shall request, at a minimum, the following information:
        (1) the names and addresses of the incorporators;
        (2) the proposed name and address of the interim bank;
        (3) the name and address of all banks with which the
    
interim bank will be merging;
        (4) a copy of the merger agreement by which the
    
interim bank will be merged with the banks identified in item (3) containing the same information required in merger agreements pursuant to subsection (1) of Section 22 of this Act; and
        (5) an acknowledgement that the interim bank shall
    
not engage in the general banking business or any part thereof unless and until the interim bank becomes the resulting bank in a merger.
    (c) The merger agreement must be approved by all of the incorporators of the interim bank and must be approved by the existing State bank with which the interim bank will merge, as required by Section 22 of this Act.
    (d) Upon receipt of the application to organize the interim bank and the merger agreement submitted pursuant to this Section and Section 22 of this Act, the Commissioner may issue a charter to the interim bank and approve the merger agreement if the Commissioner makes the findings set forth in subsection (3) of Section 22 of this Act. The interim bank's charter shall not take effect until, and shall only be effective for purposes of, the merger.
    (e) Nothing in this Section affects the obligations of an existing State bank with which the interim bank will merge, or the rights of minority or dissenting shareholders of the existing State bank, in connection with the approval, execution, and accomplishment of a merger agreement as provided elsewhere in this Act.
