Hearings Begin On Branch Banking in Illinois
Illinois House subcommittee hearings on branch banking opened with both sides claiming the plan will keep banking healthy in the state. Rep. William Harris said another hearing is planned and a recommendation to the full committee will follow in about a month. The bill would let banks form holding companies to buy and control other banks, a practice not yet allowed in Illinois. AMBI leaders argued multibank holding companies would boost local banks through more services and lower prices, while noting savings and loan institutions can branch freely.
