2016 Legislative Session Notes
This week we have provided an update on the banking related bills we are monitoring.  (View more information provided by the SD LRC by following the links provided)

Community Bank Related Bills

This bill was first read in House on 1/27/2016 and referred to House Commerce and Energy.  

HB1126 is at the request of private equity groups.  If passed, the bill will exempt from them from needing to obtain a money lending license for activities related to lending.  

The specific exemptions within the bill are:
  • Any entity which has made or acquired no more than 10 loans to other entities within any calendar year.
  • Any entity that purchases and services commercial loans acquired for investment purposes. In addition, the bill would exempt "any nonresidential real estate mortgage licensee" from licensure under South Dakota's mortgage lending licensing statutes.
If this bill passes, the firms would be exempt from franchise tax on income from lending activities.  

Historically, community bankers have not been in favor of any other entity engaged in banking activities and not having to comply with the same taxes and regulations.
 
The ICBSD Board of Directors is currently discussing this bill and formulating our association's position.
 
Referred to House Commerce Committee, though not yet scheduled.  (Members-Beal, Harrision, Hawley, Kirschman, A. Novstrup, Rounds- Chair, Schoenbeck- Vice Chair, Stalzer, Steinhauer, Wiik, Willadsen, Wollman, Zikmund)
