BILL NUMBER:S2494 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the banking law, in relation to the community bank deposit program PURPOSE: To permit participating banks to expand their usage of the community bank deposit program. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: This bill amends subdivision 2 of section 87 of the Banking Law to cap the amount of funds which an individual bank may have on deposit to $20 million. JUSTIFICATION: The community bank deposit program seeks to encourage the State Comptroller and the Commissioner of Taxation and Finance to consider placing State funds into local banks. This program recognizes that local banks are well-positioned to use their deposits to support economic activities in their communities. This bill seeks to expand the program to ensure additional availability of funds. By encouraging the placement of State deposits in local banks, this program creates an opportunity for New York State to help stimulate local economic development. Currently, much of the State's funds may be placed in brokerage firms or in large banking institutions, many of which may be head quartered in another state. In either of those cases, the economic benefits of the State deposits may flow out of the state, and the resulting local economic benefit can be minimal.
