§414. Use of certain terms by persons other than financial institutions prohibited
A. No person other than a financial institution shall in any manner directly or indirectly in written or verbal advertising or other communication purport to offer a savings account, savings deposit, certificate of deposit, savings certificate, money market certificate, share account, share draft account, passbook account, checking account, or withdrawals from such accounts. This provision, however, shall not be construed to prohibit any person from describing in verbal or written advertisement in this state the investment services it is offering, provided that such advertisement does not mislead the public by implying that such investment services are the equivalent of those stated above.
B. No person other than a financial institution or other person subject to the general supervision or regulation of the commissioner pursuant to this Title or Title 9 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950 shall engage in business as a bond for deed escrow agent on or after November 1, 1993, unless such person has first obtained a license pursuant to regulations issued by the commissioner. A person engaged in business as such an agent on January 1, 1993, may continue to be so engaged and shall have until December 31, 1993, to obtain a license in conformity herewith. The commissioner shall promulgate such rules and regulations as deemed necessary to implement this provision.
C. Any person who is found guilty of a violation of any of the provisions of this Section shall be punishable by a fine of not more than one thousand dollars, and each day of violation shall constitute a separate offense.
