BILL NUMBER: A9636A
 
SPONSOR: Anderson
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the banking law, in relation to creating a banking development district working group; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof   PURPOSE: This bill creates a banking development district working group to assess and provide recommendations and future goals for the banking development district program   SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section 1: Establishes the makeup of the banking development district working group and authorizes DFS to promulgate assessment fees on bank branches located in banking development districts. These assessment fees would finance the banking development district working group. Section 2-3: Relates to the number of unbanked and underbanked with a district and definitions Section 4: This act shall take effect immediately.   JUSTIFICATION: The Banking Development District Program was created in 1997. This program enables municipalities to offer certain incentives in order to encourage the establishment of bank branches in underserved areas. By establishing a branch in such a district, the bank would be eligible -at local and state option -- to receive municipal and state deposits at reduced rates, and to receive a partial exemption on municipal property taxes. This bill is necessary to ensure that Banking Development Districts are effectively serving the communities they aim to impact. The creation of a banking development district working group" would help to improve the current banking development districts as well as create new ones.   LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: (2023) A.6222A Anderson   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately
