What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Under current law, the governing board of a public depositor must designate one or more public depositories in which the treasurer must deposit all public moneys received by the treasurer and must specify whether these public moneys are to be maintained in time deposits, demand deposits, or savings deposits and whether security is required of the public depository to secure the repayment of deposits exceeding deposit insurance. A treasurer must deposit public moneys immediately upon receipt in the designated public depository or public depositories. These requirements apply to the state, local governments, and certain other depositors. A "treasurer" is not limited to an elected official but includes any public official or employee whose duties require that he or she receive and account for public moneys.

A "public depository" includes a federal or state credit union, federal or state savings and loan association, state bank, savings and trust company, federal or state savings bank, or national bank in this state that receives or holds any public deposits. A treasurer who deposits public moneys in a public depository in compliance with the foregoing requirements is relieved of liability for any loss of public moneys that results from the failure of the public depository to repay the full amount of its deposits.

Read the full summary

Under this bill, a public depositor may direct its treasurer to deposit public moneys in a selected public depository and, directly or through an authorized agent, instruct the public depository to arrange for the redeposit of the moneys through a deposit placement program that meets all of the following conditions: 1) on or after the date that it receives the public moneys, the selected public depository arranges for the redeposit of the moneys into savings deposit accounts in one or more federal or state savings and loan associations, state banks, federal or state savings banks, savings and trust companies, or national banks insured by the federal deposit insurance corporation (FDIC) or federal or state credit unions insured by the national credit union administration (NCUA); and 2) the full amount of the public depositor's moneys redeposited with these financial institutions, plus any accrued interest, are insured by the FDIC OR NCUA. A treasurer who deposits public moneys in a selected public depository as part of such a deposit placement program is relieved of liability for loss.
