A. Pursuant to the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 and the enactment of R.S. 6:531 et seq., the state permits and encourages interstate banking mergers to facilitate economic development of this state. In furtherance thereof, it is the purpose of this Section to ensure that Louisiana law applies to all banks conducting business in this state to the extent that such law is not preempted by federal law.
B. Pursuant to the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 and R.S. 6:531 et seq., any multistate bank with a branch in the state of Louisiana may provide any banking services, including but not limited to collection, deposit, lock box, fiscal agency, fiduciary, custodial, or investment services, and state law shall not prohibit multistate banks having in-state banking offices paying the bank shares tax from providing such services. These multistate banks may provide such services to any party including, without limitation, the state and any state agency, board or commission, local board, political subdivision, and any other public or private entity, and such entities may procure such services from any such multistate bank, on the same terms as any bank with its main or principal office in Louisiana.
