Iowa bankers gave mixed views on the Bush administration plan to overhaul the banking industry. They supported higher deposit insurance fees and tighter regulation for risky banks but feared lower deposit insurance limits and nationwide interstate banking without state input. Iowa official Robert Rigler warned the proposal could end the dual banking system by shifting supervision to federal bodies.
The proposal envisions limited private deposit coverage after two years, postponed FDIC fund boosts, and allowing commercial firms to own bank holding companies with strict firewalls. It permits a single holding company to own bank and securities units, maintains capital rules, and speeds interstate expansion within three years. A new Federal Banking Agency would oversee S&Ls and banks, with the Fed supervising state banks and holding companies.
