Message From the Commissioner To the Governor and the Illinois Legislature: It is my privilege to submit the Illinois Office of Banks and Real Estate's (OBRE) Annual Report for fiscal year ended 06/30/03 in conformity to statutory requirements of 20 ILCS 5/25 and 20 ILCS 3205/6(f). The primary purpose of the Annual Report is to provide a general overview of OBRE’s condition. This report and additional information about OBRE can be found at http:/www.obre.state.il.us. This Annual Report highlights last year’s achievements, but more importantly it will provide a clear vision for the future of OBRE. I am pleased to report that the condition of the Illinois financial system remains safe and sound. In terms of total assets, banks chartered in Illinois exceeded $152 billion, trust companies reached $2.3 trillion, foreign bank offices topped at $33 billion, and the thrift industry approached $8 billion. Through OBRE on-site examinations and off-site monitoring programs, I find that the examination team’s technical expertise is aligned with the demands of the economic environment in which they function. The housing market in Illinois continues to be very strong in spite of a sluggish national economy. During the last fiscal year, OBRE issued in excess of 8,500 new real estate licenses and renewed over 57,000 licenses. OBRE’s licensure capabilities continue to be enhanced, further increasing its efficiency and effectiveness. I will ensure that OBRE vigorously and diligently enforces the Acts and Rules to maintain the integrity of the industries that fall under its jurisdiction. I will demand a high level of accountability to protect the interests of the citizens of the State of Illinois. OBRE is reviewing and evaluating workflows, work schedules, and implementing improved policies and procedures in an effort to maximize productivity.

SSttrraatteeggiicc DDiirreeccttiioonn Mission

To protect and educate the public and promote confidence in the regulated industries through administration of statutory responsibilities in an efficient, professional, responsive, and innovative manner. Vision

OBRE envisions a safe and sound financial system, efficient and honest regulated industries, and a knowledgeable public that enjoys the benefits of the regulatory system. OBRE supports this vision by continuing exemplary service through its traditional core functions of licensure, regulation, and supervision.

OBRE envisions its role as a financial and business entity regulator where it will: Make the State's regulatory and licensure framework under OBRE’s jurisdiction the most attractive

and competitive to all entities in order to attract and retain new businesses to Illinois. Ensure responsiveness to the consumers of services offered by its regulated industries through proven

problem resolutions. Lead efforts to counsel and educate consumers about high risk home loans.

In order to carry out its vision, OBRE will: Utilize technological advancements including Web-based applications, e-payments, and streamlined

business processes to deliver the most up-to-date services to the public and to its regulated industries. Foster a working climate that maximizes the potential for employee growth and initiative, and ensures

that management and employees understand, support, and advance the concept of a performance-based culture. Maintain, through training and other educational initiatives, the highest level of professionalism and

regulatory knowledge for all employees. Priorities

Create a more productive and efficient work force - OBRE will conduct an organizational analysis, which will include review and evaluation of workflows and work schedules, implementation of improved policies and procedures, and the use of innovative technologies to improve operational efficiencies and maximize productivity.

Ensure safety and soundness of banking system - OBRE will conduct all statutory examinations within the established time frames, and produce examinations at a quality level equivalent to federal agency standards, in conformity with its reciprocal examination agreements. OBRE will enhance consumers’ confidence by timely acknowledgement, processing, evaluating, and acting on all consumer complaints according to the gravity of each case.

Efficient and effective licensure and enforcement - OBRE will issue all licenses in a timely fashion; it will diligently and vigorously enforce the Acts and Rules pursuant to exam findings.

Cost containment - OBRE will analyze agency spending to develop opportunities to eliminate waste; it will impose fines in lieu of long-term suspensions to allow for recovery of administrative cost.

Attractive Illinois charter - OBRE will anticipate the evolving trends in the financial services industry and the needs of its regulated entities; it will recommend legislation to ensure that its regulatory framework reflects the changing reality of the marketplace; it will also maintain the cost of regulation of State chartered institutions lower than the cost of its federal counter parts.

SSttaattee ooff tthhee EEccoonnoommyy During fiscal year 2003, the Illinois economy experienced a slower level of growth. The U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the Illinois unemployment rate decreased slightly from 6.5% in June 2002, to 6.4% in June 2003. The June 2003 rate also equaled the national average.

LABOR FORCE AND UNEMPLOYMENT LEVEL

June-03Total Labor Force 6,404,476Total Unemployed 407,754Unemployment Rate 6.4%

The U.S. Department of Labor also reported that Illinois initial jobless claims for June 2003 were 198,687 versus 209,124 for June 2002. This indicates economic activity is beginning to improve in Illinois. Average weekly hours of manufacturing workers decreased from 41.4 in June 2002 to 40.4 in June 2003. As employment levels improve, financial institutions experience increased demand for products and services. The U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis, reported total personal income for Illinois increased slightly from June 2002 to June 2003. The change in income and a comparison to national income changes are detailed below:

NET PERSONAL INCOME TOTALS AND CHANGES FROM

JUNE 2002 TO JUNE 2003 U.S. Illinois

June-03 9,129,313 423,805June-02 8,881,691 420,863Change 247,622 2,942

% Change 2.788% 1.033% While income increased year over year, Illinois' increase lagged behind the national average. Illinois is in the bottom quintile for growth in personal income. The Purchasing Managers' Survey rating for the second quarter of fiscal year 2003 was 51 versus a rating of 58 for

second quarter of fiscal year 2002. A rating of 50 or above indicates industrial expansion. While a rating of 51 is positive, it is a much lower level of activity than June 2002. Reduced economic activity lowers demand for loans and services offered by financial institutions. The Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity reports retail sales for the State at $134.9 million for the four quarters ended June 30, 2003. This is a decrease of 0.86% from June 2002. Nationally retail sales grew 1.2% for the same time period. The Illinois agriculture sector was an exception to the slow economic growth. The U.S. Department of Agriculture reported that net farm income was on track to increase approximately 33% from calendar year 2002 to 2003. Illinois Ag Banks financial condition and income are greatly dependent on the financial health of the agriculture sector. An Ag Bank is a Bank that has more than 25% of total loans in agriculture. Low interest rates during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, stimulated demand for loans and contributed to economic growth. Commercial banks added to net income with gains on sales of assets (securities and loans). The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) reported cost of funds for Illinois commercial banks decreased from 2.28% at June 30, 2002, to 1.76% at June 30, 2003. The same report stated that non-interest income to average assets increased from 1.79% at June 30, 2002, to 1.83% at June 30, 2003. Thrift assets continued to grow at a steady pace. Industry assets increased at an annual rate of 5.5%, rising to $8.0 billion by June 30, 2003. A favorable rate environment, improving economic conditions, and strong loan demand, fueled growth. Funding was derived primarily through deposit growth and, to a lesser extent, borrowings. Though industry consolidation has reduced the overall number of thrift institutions, asset growth is strong. At June 30, 2003, the industry employed over 2,000 people in Illinois.

Loan performance and charge-off data provide little indication of any major credit concerns. Troubled assets represented a modest 0.62% of assets. Loan charge-offs remain at a manageable rate of 0.21% of loans. Industry capital also remains strong at over 8% for commerical banks and over 12.0% for thrifts. While net interest margins have decreased year over year,

increased non-interest income has offset some of the lost income. The non-interest income has been provided primarily from mortgage refinancing and sales of financial products. The mortgage banking industry experienced rapid growth in the year ended June 30, 2003. Mortgage originations increased 48% from June 30, 2003, over the previous year. Low interest rates contributed to a very high level of refinancing of existing mortgages. For the four quarters ended June 30, 2003, refinancing comprised 67.2% of all mortgage originations. The Illinois housing sector remained strong in 2003. The U.S. Department of Commerce reported that Illinois building permits for housing increased 3.68% from June 2002 to June 2003. For the same period Standard & Poor's McGraw-Hill reported that contracts for future construction of residential property increased 9.0% in Illinois. Existing home sales increased 4.5% from the second quarter of 2002 to the second quarter of 2003. Historically, low interest rates were mainly responsible for driving home sales activity. The benchmark 30-year mortgage sank to a four-decade low of 5.21% in June of 2003. The 10-year US Treasury Bond, a pricing benchmark for 30-year mortgage rates, dropped 1.30% from June 2002 to June 2003. Low interest rates and home financing activity allowed overall profitability to remain favorable for all Illinois financial and professional entities. Home loan activity, including refinancing of existing mortgages, have provided a substantial level of fee income to Illinois financial institutions. This activity has also provided increased activity for the ancillary services of real estate, mortgage banking, appraisers, and home inspectors.

Additionally, the bureau is responsible for the licensure and regulation of pawnbrokers. The Commercial Bank Supervision Divisions regulate State chartered banks for the benefit of the public. Responsibilities include chartering, supervising, and examining banks to assess safety and soundness and assure that the banks operate in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Some banks consolidate to cut expenses and in some cases to offer more products and services to their customers. The chart below demonstrates an 18-year charter consolidation trend and identifies the continued increase in assets in the Illinois banking industry. While the number of banks has decreased, the total assets have risen sharply.

Despite a decrease in the total number of banks from 509 in 2002 to 502 in 2003, Illinois continues to have the greatest number of State chartered banks in the nation; it also has the third highest total assets of foreign banking corporations operating in the country.

Diligent Supervision Diligent and vigorous examination, supervision, and enforcement become increasingly important in a time where slow economic growth and the complexities of the financial markets cause stress on the financial industry. Increased competition among financial providers and economic difficulties faced by consumers place increased capital, profitability, and liquidity challenges on the banking industry. The number of institutions requiring regulatory attention remained steady and increased slightly in fiscal year 2003. This is evidenced by the fact that the number of institutions with a composite rating of 3, 4, or 5 increased from 33 in 2002 to 34 in 2003 and there was a 25% increase in the number of institutions that entered into a corrective agreement with OBRE in fiscal year 2003. OBRE also entered into 20 Memoranda of Understanding with banks in 2003, an increase of 15 from 2002. A number of institutions are operating under corrective action plans to bring deficient financial and operational conditions into a safe and sound condition. Continued efforts and resources are needed to monitor these financial institutions. Additionally, resources are required to service other entities showing deteriorating conditions. OBRE’s primary goal is the maintenance of a strong State banking system. OBRE will continue to diligently supervise Illinois State chartered institutions in an effort to maintain the public’s confidence that the bank’s deposits are safe and secure. Off-Site Monitoring Program The Bureau of Banks and Trust Companies launched its Off-Site Monitoring Program in fiscal year 2003. The purpose of this program is to monitor the activities and financial condition of State chartered banks, foreign bank offices, and trust companies between examination cycles.

Using various sources of data (Uniform Bank Performance Reports, Quarterly Call Reports, Off-site telephone calls, etc.), the Off-Site Monitoring Program identifies financial weaknesses and risks that may trigger a targeted examination or increased supervisory activity. During the first six months of the program, three financial institutions were scheduled for visitations based on the information discovered through the Off-Site Monitoring initiative. This program is successful, in that, it identifies weaknesses at financial institutions between examination cycles and allows OBRE to promptly address limiting the risk exposure to the financial institution and consumer of Illinois. The Off-Site Monitoring Program is not intended to replace the On-Site Examination Process. However, information gathered through this program helps identify potential risks earlier than the regular examination cycle. Early detection of these risks helps ensure that weaknesses can be addressed in a timely manner, and potentially limit the overall risk exposure to financial institutions. This program assists OBRE in carrying out its mission to protect the public and to promote confidence in Illinois’ regulated industries. Enforcement Actions Issued Overall, banks have weathered the economic storms of fiscal year 2003 and have prospered. Banks were able to steer a profitable course through a time of slow economic growth by establishing and following loan policies, having problem loan identification systems, and having systems in place to ensure compliance with internal policies and banking law. Nonetheless, the Bureau of Banks and Trust Companies issued 41 enforcement actions in fiscal year 2003. This increase can be attributed to an aggressive effort to issue enforcement actions when needed as well as to bring to a resolution those institutions that are experiencing difficulties.

Strengthen Foreign Banks In November of 1998, state banking departments responsible for foreign bank supervision signed two agreements with each other and with the federal banking agencies to develop a coordinated supervisory program for U.S. offices of foreign banks. The State Coordination Agreement and the State/Federal Coordination Agreement provide foreign banks operating in more than one state the same supervisory efficiencies available to domestic commercial banks. OBRE participated in an interstate coordination meeting to strengthen the supervision of foreign banks. The meeting aimed to further develop the coordination process regarding the operation of foreign banks in the United States and formalize the home/host state relationship; it resulted in an agreement by all participants on three significant issues: 1) the development of an interstate coordination checklist to be used by all states; 2) the development of a consolidated list of state and federal examination contacts for each foreign banking organization which is currently maintained in the Banking Organization National Desktop (BOND) System; 3) the commitment to a set schedule of meetings for the International Regulatory Task Force to be held at three or more annual events sponsored by the Conference of State Bank Supervisors (the International Banking Conference, the Annual Meeting, and the International Dialogue Conference). Illinois has one of the largest concentrations of foreign bank assets in the United States. Pawnbroker Regulation The Pawnbroker Regulation Section is responsible for licensing pawnbrokers operating in Illinois. This section also conducts investigations of pawnshops following consumer

inquiries and gathers information about the pawn industry in Illinois via the Annual Disclosure Report that each licensee is required to submit. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 2003, the Commissioner issued four new pawnshop licenses, 17 pawnshops closed, while 12 pawnshops changed in control of ownership.

PAWNSHOPS as of 06/30/03

Year ........................................................ Number 2003 ............................................................... 208 2002 ............................................................... 223 2001 ............................................................... 220 2000 ............................................................... 219 For the fifth straight year, OBRE did not increase the regulatory fees for pawnbrokers. The industry’s overall compliance with the Pawnbroker Regulation Act and the Administrative Rules has helped keep the cost of regulation stable. Pawnshop Enforcement The total amount of late filing fees and civil monetary penalties assessed against pawnshops from July 1, 2002 through June 30, 2003 totaled $6,100. The Commissioner assessed civil monetary penalties against several pawnshops that failed to renew their pawnshop license before the renewal deadline. In total, 12 pawnshops failed to mail the application for license renewal to OBRE before the registration deadline. OBRE took enforcement action against 13 pawnshops that failed to file the Annual Disclosure Report for calendar year 2002 in a timely manner, in violation of 38 Illinois Administrative Code, Section 360.210(a). A pawnshop must file its annual report to OBRE no later than 30 calendar days following the end of each calendar year.

BBuurreeaauu ooff RReessiiddeennttiiaall FFiinnaannccee The bureau regulates and charters the thrift industry [savings banks and savings and loans associations] and regulates the residential mortgage banking industry to provide effective and efficient supervision. The Thrift Division is responsible for the supervision, regulation, and examination of Illinois chartered savings banks and savings and loan associations. Of the 54 regulated institutions, 37 are mutually owned by local communities and specialize in residential lending.

This mandated regulation of residential mortgage lending is to benefit the citizens of the State of Illinois by ensuring availability of residential mortgage funding, to benefit responsible providers of residential mortgage loans and services, and to avoid requirements inconsistent with legitimate and responsible business practices in the residential mortgage lending industry.

Off-Site Monitoring Program The Thrift Division began its Off-Site Monitoring Program in March of 2000. Each examiner is assigned a group of savings banks and savings and loans, which are monitored quarterly using information provided by the banks and an Interest Rate Risk Assessment performed by OBRE. The examiner prepares a Quarterly Off-Site Analysis, which is submitted to OBRE’s management team for review. This information is then shared with the institution. The analysis identifies inherent risk in portfolio lenders. These lenders make up a significant portion of the industry. Additionally, the thrift management team monitors any institution that has a weakness in any of the six essential components of an institution’s financial condition and operations components. Changes to the rating list are made based on examiner’s findings or when improvements in the weakness are noted. The off-site monitoring program has allowed us to more closely monitor the financial condition of the thrift industry between examinations. The program has enhanced our ability to keep abreast of changes in the investment and funding activities of specific institutions and the industry. Enforcement Actions Issued State chartered thrifts benefited from the current refinancing boom, increasing earnings for the majority of these institutions. The high demand for home mortgages combined with the lower interest rates paid on deposit accounts increased these institutions net interest margins reflecting significant growth and profitability for the industry during an economic downturn. Industry earnings performance for 2003 has been strong, with net income increasing 10% over the previous year. Net income was reported at $58 million for the fiscal year ended June 30,

2003, representing a 0.73% annualized return on average assets (ROA). Net interest margins (NIM) compressed nationally and in Illinois during 2003 as the continuing low rate environment caused asset yields to drop more rapidly than funding costs. Overall, the industry NIM stood at 3.26 % for Illinois at June 30, 2003, as compared to 3.29% at June 30, 2002. Nationally, the industry NIM decreased to 3.53 % at June 30, 2003 from 3.75 % a year earlier. Enforcement actions are taken against thrift institutions that have demonstrated weaknesses in any area of its operations lending to a composite rating of 3 or higher on a scale of 1 to 5. A rating of 5 is indicative of an institution in danger of default. The small number of institutions with adverse ratings shows the strength of the thrift industry in Illinois. The average capital level for Illinois thrifts is 12%, compared to 9.4% nationally. Thrifts are evaluated using the same components that are used to evaluate the commercial banking industry.

THRIFT COMPOSITE RATINGS as of 06/30/03

Rating Number 1 .......................................................................19 2 .......................................................................30 3 .........................................................................5 4 .........................................................................0 5 .........................................................................0 The number of thrifts institutions requiring increased supervisory attention has remained constant during the current fiscal year. Due to close monitoring and strong demands for compliance, two thrift institutions improved their conditions and therefore enforcement actions were rescinded. Management Visitation Program OBRE continues to maintain communication with its regulated entities to ensure accessibility as a regulator, to help respond to questions and

concerns on financial matters, and to provide information on important regulatory issues. The primary focus of this program is to keep management in touch with the business and orientation of the industry and to keep the industry informed of government initiatives. This program has strengthened the relationship between OBRE and the regulated institutions. The higher degree of dialog is beneficial in a regulated environment and has contributed to a greater understanding of the role of OBRE as a resource as well as a regulator. Mortgage Banking Enforcement Statutory and regulatory enforcement are major priorities in protecting Illinois residents from dishonest, unfair, and inefficiently operated residential lenders licensed by OBRE. To that extent, the Mortgage Banking Division will aggressively seek to revoke the licenses of the most egregious violators of statutes and regulations. From January 2003 through June 2003, the number of supervisory meetings, resulting in office visits by licensees, has increased from four to 21 visits (525% increase). From January 2003 through June 2003, the Mortgage Banking Division issued a total of 37 enforcement actions against licensees. At the conclusion of the fiscal year, OBRE increased its enforcement powers against licensees in legislation (Senate Bill 1784) pending before the Governor, including an enhanced consumer protection law against predatory lending. Mortgage Activities for the Mortgage Banking Industry The Off-Site Monitoring Program is initiated from repeat examination violations, egregious examination issues, or issues triggered from an unusual or suspicious activity. Off-Site Monitoring is a systematic review of various internal and external documents, which allows OBRE to track the licensees’ activity until satisfactory resolution is achieved.

In addition, the bureau is responsible for the registration and regulation of timeshare companies and land sales projects developed or marketed in Illinois. The bureau is formed by two divisions: Licensing and Enforcement. The mission of the Licensing Division is to timely and accurately evaluate and process license applications to ensure that applicants are qualified. The mission of the Enforcement Division is to investigate allegations of misconduct by real estate professions practitioners and prosecute violators.

Increase in Salespersons Licenses

Over the last five years, the bureau experienced rapid growth in the number of real estate brokers and salesperson licenses issued. During the last fiscal year, an additional 13,205 real estate salespersons licenses were issued. This represents an increase of 36%. There are three factors that may have contributed to this increase.

Real estate regulatory bodies typically

see an increase in licenses issued as the unemployment rate rises.

Historically, low interest rates during

2003, led to the strong housing sector in Illinois. Illinois building permits, home sales, and future construction of residential property all increased in fiscal year 2003. When the housing market flourishes, the demand for real estate salespersons increases.

A streamlined licensing process at

OBRE contributed to an increase in the number of real estate licenses.

There are over 70 OBRE approved real estate pre-license education providers. The pre-license providers have approximately 250 licensed branches that provide education. After completing the pre-license course requirements, applicants take the examination at one of 10 OBRE approved testing centers located throughout Illinois. The results of this streamlined system is that most applicants receive their license within eight business days. *Began licensing the auction industry in 2000.

New Appraisal Education Program The Appraisal Division worked in cooperation with approved education providers to institute a more effective educational program that complies with state and federal appraisal standards. These standards are in place so that appraisers are sufficiently trained in an effort to assure competency and independent judgment according to uniform professional standards and ethics. All approved pre-license education courses must meet federal and state standards to complete a pathway to licensure. All licensed education providers must offer an OBRE approved curriculum. The enhanced appraisal education program creates greater consumer protection in Illinois. OBRE has experienced a noticeable decrease in the number of complaints filed against appraisers. In fiscal year 2002, there were 311 complaints filed against appraisers, compared to 233 complaints filed with OBRE in fiscal year 2003, representing a decrease in complaints of 25%. Real Estate Complaints Decrease in Fiscal Year 2003 Consumer complaints filed against entities licensed under the Real Estate License Act of 2000 decreased 30% in fiscal year 2003. The primary reason for this decrease was the continued growth of the Real Estate Professions Examination Program. The Real Estate Professions Examination Program was instituted in fiscal year 2002 in an effort to strengthen compliance with the Real Estate License Act of 2000 and to reduce the number of complaints filed with OBRE against licensees. Examiners conducted 1,387 exams in fiscal year 2002 and

conducted nearly 2,100 compliance examinations in fiscal year 2003. Simultaneously, complaints against real estate licensees decreased from 1,286 in fiscal year 2002 to a three-year low of 898 as of June 30, 2003. The industry continues to support this program as a proactive method of assuring compliance with real estate laws and rules. Licensing of Home Inspectors OBRE began licensing home inspectors on January 1, 2003, as a result of Public Act 92-239, the Home Inspection License Act. The Home Inspection License Act was created in order to evaluate the competency of persons and entities engaged in the business of home inspections, and to protect the public by licensing those engaged in the business. The Act provides that any individual, corporation, limited liability company, or partnership practicing as a home inspector is required to be licensed. Any person wishing to obtain a home inspector license must be at least 21 years of age, have earned a high school diploma (or GED), pass a state examination, and submit applications and fees for licensure. As of June 30, 2003, OBRE had licensed 895 home inspectors in Illinois.

The Office of the Commissioner is comprised of the Division of Community Relations, the Legal Department, and the Legislative Affairs Section. The Division of Community Relations coordinates programs to keep the public informed and protected and provides consumers and communities with public information. The Consumer Services Section handles all inquiries and complaints brought against OBRE regulated and licensed entities. The Law Department advises, interprets, and drafts various rules, regulations, and statutes that pertain to the financial industry, the residential finance industries, and the real estate professions. The Legislative Affairs Section is responsible for creating OBRE’s legislation and administrative rules, as well as acting as its primary contact for legislative constituent inquiries. Community Outreach The Community Relations Division continued its mission to educate and inform the public, as it reached over 7,100 people at 65 events in 33 counties conducting presentations or attending fairs and festivals throughout Illinois. The division served as a foundation to the Governor’s Task Force on Financial Literacy, to address the development of money skills for adults, and students in high school and middle school.

The Task Force also prepared the first known document in the United States, which outlines the basic requirements for a school-age financial literacy curriculum. The Core Content document, found on the OBRE’s Web site, is a coordination of the Illinois State Board of Education’s

mandates and the essentials of financial education as perceived by the Task Force. Consumer Services The Consumer Services Division continued to experience a high volume of consumer inquiries and complaints with over 3,200 calls and complaints during the past fiscal year. The division delivered timely customer service and satisfaction on numerous consumer inquiries and complaints on all OBRE regulated entities. By responding to all inquiries and complaints within five business days from the date received, consumers can be assured the highest level of service in a timely manner. The chart below details the number of inquiries received by the Consumer Services Division over the past three years.

2003 Legislation Affecting OBRE OBRE completed a successful 2003 Spring Legislative Session. The General Assembly approved OBRE’s only legislative agenda item along with a number of important consumer protection and industry-related bills including the High Risk Home Loan Act, an OBRE supervisory information disclosure bill, and new legislation dealing with identity theft and financial crime. Listed below is a summary of key legislation passed by the Illinois General Assembly and signed into law by Governor Rod. R. Blagojevich in 2003 that affected OBRE and the industries it regulates. High Risk Home Loan Act Public Act 93-561 [Senate Bill 1784 (Link/Currie)] Public Act 93-561 creates the High-Risk Home Loan Act, which codifies and expands anti-predatory lending rules promulgated in 2001. The bill provides statutory authority for individual consumers and the Illinois Attorney General to take alleged predatory lending cases to court under the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Practices Act. Public Act 93-561 amends the Illinois Fairness in Lending Act to define and prohibit “equity stripping” and “loan-flipping” by financial institutions. The bill strengthens the OBRE’s jurisdiction over residential mortgage licensees by requiring the registration of loan officers, increases the maximum fine that may be imposed from $10,000 to $25,000, and increase net worth and bonding requirements. Effective January 1, 2004. State Finance-Administration Act Public Act 93-25 [Senate Bill 874 (Trotter/Madigan)] Public Act 93-25 creates the fiscal year 2004 Budget Implementation Act by amending various departmental acts in order to implement the fiscal year 2004 state finance-administration budget. Effective immediately.

State Finance-Revenues Act Public Act 93-32 [Senate Bill 1903 (Welch/Madigan)] Public Act 93-32 creates the fiscal year 2004 Budget Implementation (State Finance-Revenues) Act. The bill makes changes relating to State finance and revenues that are necessary to implement in the State's fiscal year 2004 budget. Makes transfers from various funds into the General Revenue Fund, other Funds, and amends numerous Acts by increasing specified fees, charges, taxes, and penalties. The Act also changes the disposition of specified fees, charges, taxes, and penalties. Effective immediately, except specified provisions have other effective dates. ATM Point-of-Sale Surcharge Public Act 93-136 [House Bill 1150 (Fritchey/Link)] Public Act 93-136 amends the Electronic Fund Transfer Act by deleting language that previously exempted point-of-sale terminals from disclosure, access, and advertising requirements. With passage of Public Act 93-136, point-of-sale terminals must comply with all surcharge disclosure requirements, access ability requirements, and limitations on proprietary advertising previously applied to ATM terminal providers. Effective January 1, 2004. Criminal Code/Identity Theft Public Act 93-195 [House Bill 2188 (Nekritz/Schoenberg)] Public Act 93-195 amends the Criminal Code of 1961 by creating a private right to initiate a law enforcement investigation related to identity theft. The victim of identity theft is also granted the right to seek a judicial determination of innocence when another party has been arrested or convicted of a criminal offense under the victim’s name. Public Act 93-195 also amends the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act to require that credit card issuers verify the accuracy of application information prior to the issuance of a credit card. In addition, if credit providers use a consumer credit report and receive information

Page 18: Message From the Commissioneridfpr.com/Banks/AGENCY/annlrpt/2003AnnualReport.pdfsavings banks, savings and loan associations, mortgage bankers and brokers, real estate brokers and

18

that a person applying for credit has been the victim of identity theft, that credit provider is prohibited from extending credit unless they have taken reasonable steps to verify the identity of the applicant. These new verification provisions do not apply to an existing open-end credit plan. Effective January 1, 2004. Credit Card and Debit Card Account Disclosure Public Act 93-231 [House Bill 259 (Fritchey/Silverstein)] Public Act 93-231 amends the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Practices Act by requiring that all credit and debit card receipts be printed or produced in a manner that identifies the account only by the last four digits assigned to the particular account. In addition, the receipt must not contain the expiration date of the card. An exception is provided if the only means of producing the card receipt is by handwriting or by imprinting the actual card. Effective January 1, 2005. State Funds Reinvestment Requirement Public Act 93-251 [House Bill 277 (Washington/Link)] Public Act 93-251 amends the Deposit of State Moneys Act and the Public Funds Investment Act. The new statutory language provides the State Treasurer, and any public agency, the authority to consider a financial institution’s commitment to the local community when making a decision whether to deposit state or public funds. The Treasurer or Public Funds Administrator may now consider publicly available information, including historical financial institution CRA ratings. In addition, consideration may be given to any change in ownership, management or business policies and practices that may affect the financial institution’s level of community commitment. The statute specifically provides that neither the State Treasurer nor any public agency shall be authorized to conduct an examination or investigation of the financial institution and they shall only consider publicly available information. Effective January 1, 2004.

Savings Banks and Savings and Loans Exams Public Act 93-271 [House Bill 3663 (Lyons/Lightford)] Amends the Illinois Savings and Loan Act of 1985 and the Savings Bank Act to provide guidelines for OBRE and institutions in disclosing confidential supervisory information. Describes "confidential supervisory information" (CSI) and states that CSI is the exclusive property of OBRE. It details under what circumstances OBRE may disclose CSI, under what circumstances a bank may disclose CSI, and that disclosure to OBRE or other regulators does not act as a waiver of any legal privilege the bank may have. Public Act 93-271 states that notwithstanding any other provision of the proposal, CSI is the property of OBRE and shall be privileged from disclosure except as provided in the proposal. The bill provides procedures to follow if CSI is sought pursuant to a subpoena and makes knowing or willful violations of the disclosure standards punishable by OBRE with a civil money penalty of up to $1,000. Effective immediately. ATM Reverse PIN Sends Alarm Public Act 93-273 [Senate Bill 562 (Link/Mathias)] Public Act 93-273 amends the Electronic Fund Transfer Act to allow terminal operators discretionary authority to implement a “reverse PIN alarm system.” In case of an emergency or an instance of a forced attempt to withdraw funds, by entering the customer’s PIN in reverse order. Effective January 1, 2004. Illinois Financial Crimes Law Public Act 93-440 [Senate Bill 1053 (Cullerton/O’Brien)] Public Act 93-440 creates a specific section of the Criminal Code of 1961 devoted to new criminal offenses and penalties for crimes against a financial institution. New State criminal offenses include misappropriation of financial institution property, loan fraud, financial institution robbery, conspiracy to commit a financial crime and concealment of collateral. Effective July 5, 2003.

The mission of the bureau is to provide internal support to OBRE. The bureau consists of the Fiscal, Human Resources, and Information Systems Divisions. Human Resources Activities During fiscal year 2003, the Early Retirement Incentive (ERI) significantly impacted OBRE and created increased workload for the Human Resources Division. A total of 36 employees, accounting for 11% of the OBRE total headcount, opted for the ERI. OBRE lost a cumulative 794 years of job experience as a direct result. The Human Resources Division worked with OBRE management to clarify job assignments and consolidate positions. OBRE responded by changing the organizational structure and work assignments to ensure continuing operation in a productive manner. Commitment to Training During fiscal year 2003, the OBRE Training Section provided staff with over 9,000 hours of educational development. OBRE employees participated in specific training sessions to aid their understanding in specialized areas and changes in State and Federal laws and regulations. Examples of such specialized training include: Certified Bank Auditor, Certified Financial Analyst, Certified Information Systems Auditor, Certified Fiduciary and Investment Risk Specialist, Certified Risk Professional, Certified Fraud Examiner, etc. e-Government In keeping with its e-Government initiative, OBRE developed the concept of the CLEAR System, (Credentialing Licensing Enforcement And Regulation). A key goal of OBRE’s e-Government initiatives was to build a consolidated electronic data processing system, allowing all OBRE information to share a common platform and be accessible to all users.

In February 2003, the Mortgage Banking Division became the first division to begin using the CLEAR System. OBRE completed the data conversion from the Foundation System. Following the conversion, the CLEAR system processed all business activity for the division. By June, three areas in the Bureau of Banks and Trusts Companies, maintaining business data on non-traditional systems, converted to the CLEAR system. These industries were Pawnbrokers, Non-financial ATM’s (Automated Teller Machines), and Check Printers. These conversions brought the data into a centralized system and established the groundwork for the conversion of other areas of the Bureau of Banks and Trusts Companies into the CLEAR system. The Bureau of Real Estate Professions converted its data from the Regulation and Enforcement System to the CLEAR system during the month of June and began processing in July of 2003. Computer Security As the threat of viruses, spam e-mail, and hackers continue to plague all institutions, the Information Systems Division continues to research and implement the latest advancements as well as upgrade and maintain its existing network security devices to safeguard OBRE’s data. McAfee ASAP continues to serve as the virus protection package for OBRE. In a typical month, OBRE receives 16,000 spam messages. This represents nearly 45% of all e-mail received from the Internet. OBRE currently uses two firewall appliances to protect its networks from intrusion by hackers along with the sensitive data that is contained on the system. Maintaining, upgrading, and managing information systems security and resources continues to be a high level priority for the Information Systems Division.
