Bill Summary

Under current law, a board consists of five or more directors 18 years of age or older, a majority of whom are residents of the state of Iowa and citizens of the United States. Under the bill, a board consists of five or more directors 18 years of age or older, a majority of whom are citizens of the United States and at least three of whom are residents of the state of Iowa. Under current law, a board shall hold at least nine regular meetings each calendar year, and no more than one regular meeting shall be held in any one calendar month. Under the bill, a board shall hold at least nine regular meetings each calendar year, and at least one regular meeting shall occur in each quarter of a calendar year.

AI Summary

This bill modifies requirements for state bank board of directors in Iowa, making two key changes. First, it adjusts the composition of the board, shifting from a requirement that a majority of directors be Iowa residents to a requirement that at least three directors be Iowa residents, while maintaining that a majority must be U.S. citizens. Second, the bill modifies the meeting schedule for the board, changing the existing rule that no more than one regular meeting could be held per calendar month to a new requirement that at least one regular meeting must occur in each quarter of the calendar year. The total number of required annual meetings remains nine. These changes provide more flexibility in board composition and meeting scheduling while still maintaining oversight and local representation. The bill applies to state banks in Iowa and is designed to potentially make board leadership and governance slightly more adaptable to changing business needs.
