34.09 Financial institutions eligible as public depositories. Every federal or state credit union, state bank, federal or state savings and loan association, savings and trust company and federal or state savings bank and every national bank may be designated as a public depository and may receive and hold public deposits, subject to this chapter, if the financial institution has a branch or main office located in this state, complies with this chapter with respect to public deposits and accepts payments made by the state under s. 16.412. The division of banking has the same powers and duties with regard to making and continuing public deposits in national banks, federal and state credit unions, federal and state savings banks and federal and state savings and loan associations as the powers and duties exercised and performed by the division of banking with regard to public deposits in state banks.
History: 1975 c. 180, 421; 1981 c. 20; 1981 c. 390 s. 252; 1983 a. 368; 1985 a. 25; 1991 a. 221; 1995 a. 27, 336.
Legislative Council Note, 1985: This section is amended to provide that a public depository is not required to file with the commissioner of banking an agreement that it will pay specified sums to the state deposit guarantee fund. This provision is no longer necessary since the state deposit guarantee fund is prospectively abolished in this bill. Section 34.09 also is amended to remove references to the authority of the commissioner of banking to specify qualifications for, and conditions on, public depositories. The bill removes this authority in the repeal and recreation of s. 34.03.
Also, in s. 34.09 instead of providing that every financial institution in Wisconsin which “complies in all respects as to public deposits with this chapter and which accepts payments made by the state under s. 16.412", the phrase “complies in all respects as to public deposits with this chapter and will accept payments made by the state under s. 16.412" has been substituted. The significance of the change is that financial institutions need not actually accept payments by the state under s. 16.412, in order to be eligible as public depositories. Instead, financial institutions must accept these payments only if made, in order to be eligible as public depositories. [85 Act 25]
