It adds credit unions to the list of financial institutions that are eligible to be designated as qualified public depositories, which allows them to hold public deposits. 2. It requires the Chief Financial Officer to segregate and separately account for any collateral proceeds, assessments, or administrative penalties attributable to a credit union from those attributable to banks, savings banks, or savings associations. 3. It prohibits the Chief Financial Officer from designating a credit union as a qualified public depository unless certain conditions are met, such as having a minimum number of credit unions designated or applying to be designated. 4. It allows the Chief Financial Officer to withdraw from a collateral agreement with a credit union and limits the amount of public deposits a credit union may hold if certain conditions are not met. 5. It extends various qualified public depository requirements and procedures to credit unions, such as the attestation requirement, suspension/disqualification process, and restrictions on eligible collateral. The bill aims to incorporate credit unions into the public deposits program while maintaining safeguards to protect the integrity of the program.
