                                BILL NUMBER:S6735

TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend chapter 322 of the laws of 2007,
amending the banking law relating to the power of banks, private
bankers, trust companies, savings banks, savings and loan
associations, credit unions and foreign banking corporations to
exercise the rights of national banks, federal savings associations,
federal credit unions and federal branches and agencies of foreign
banks, in relation to the effectiveness of certain provisions of such
chapter; and to amend chapter 3 of the laws of 1997, amending the
banking law and the insurance law relating to authorizing the banking
board to permit banks and trust companies to exercise the rights of
national banks, in relation to the effectiveness of certain provisions
of such chapter

PURPOSE:

To extend, for an additional five years, the banking "wild card" law,
which provides an administrative mechanism to keep the state banking
charter viable and competitive with the federal banking charter.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

The effective date provisions of Chapter 322 of 2007 and Chapter 3 of
the Laws of 1997 are amended to extend the sunset date from September
10, 2014 to September 10, 2019.

EXISTING LAW:

Under the "wild card" law (Section 12-a of the Banking Law), the
Superintendent of Financial Services is authorized to permit
state-chartered banking organizations to exercise banking powers that
are available to corresponding federally-chartered institutions, but
which are not expressly authorized under the Banking Law.

STATEMENT IN SUPPORT:

Under the nation's dual banking system, banking institutions may
choose to operate under either a state or federal charter. Almost
every state has a banking "wild card" law which provides an
administrative mechanism to help maintain parity in regard to the
powers of state banks and national banks.

In general, a banking wild card law enables a state regulator to
administratively authorize state banks to exercise the same powers as
national banks. A wild card law can provide a timely, flexible and
efficient mechanism for keeping a state's banking charter competitive,
attractive and viable in comparison with the federal charter.

In 1997, a banking wild card law was enacted in New York State to help
retain and promote the state banking charter and state banking system.
With this law, the State sought to reassure its state-chartered
banking institutions that it was committed and determined to keep the
state charter competitive with the federal charter.

With the rapid and continuing changes in the financial system,
state-chartered institutions were becoming increasingly concerned that


they would find themselves at a significant disadvantage. While
federally-chartered institutions were positioned to immediately take
advantage of any expanded powers and new opportunities granted at the
federal level, state institutions feared that lengthy delays and
uncertainty at the state level would place them at a significant
disadvantage.

The wild card law is intended to help address these concerns by
establishing an administrative process to enable New York State to
quickly respond to significant parity issues. New York's wild card law
included a sunset date, and the law has been extended several times
since its original enactment in 1997. This bill would extend the law
for an additional five years.

BUDGET IMPLICATIONS:

None.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

Immediately.
