Bill Summary

Financial institutions; officers and directors. Permits the State Corporation Commission, upon petition, to permit an individual to serve as an officer or on the boards of directors of more than one financial institution if the Commission finds that the financial institutions are not in competition with each other or that one or both of the institutions might otherwise be denied capable management or direction from an individual residing in or employed in the locality served by an institution.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing law to allow individuals to serve as officers or directors of more than one financial institution under certain conditions. Currently, an individual can generally only hold such positions in one financial institution unless both institutions are part of the same holding company. However, this bill introduces an exception, allowing the State Corporation Commission (SCC), a state regulatory body, to grant permission for an individual to serve on the boards of directors of multiple institutions if the SCC determines that these institutions are not in competition with each other, or if denying such service would prevent an institution from having competent management or direction from someone local to the area it serves.
