Wisconsin Moves to Bar Federal Building and Loan Groups
The Wisconsin Banking Commission seeks to bar federally chartered building and loan associations from operating without state charter. The petition cites 60 years of state oversight and 20 years of permission power, noting Milwaukee’s prior association shut for lack of community need. Four federal associations have since formed in Milwaukee despite this. The state previously won a Supreme Court ruling that federally supervised groups require banking commission approval to transfer. The petition would force newly organized federal associations to meet state standards.
