The bill would require the Department of Banking to establish a community investment program which would make grants or interest-free loans to eligible institutions that make community development loans in distressed areas or assist low-income areas by providing basic consumer financial services.
The bill would take effect September 1, 2005.
The Department of Banking would require one Program Administrator V ($53,196 each year) to review applications and make recommendations regarding eligibility and one Administrative Assistant II ($27,666 each year) to process applications and perform administrative responsibilities associated with the program. In addition, the agency would require $5,000 each year for travel relating to application investigations and training, $6,550 in fiscal years 2006 and 2009 for computers and related equipment, $7,682 each year for supplies, postage, telephones, and other operating expenses, and $24,048 each year for employee benefits.
It is anticipated that these administrative costs to the Department of Banking would be offset by an increase in fee-generated revenue.
This analysis does not estimate funding for the agency to make grants or interest free loans to eligible institutions, as neither the amount of funding to be provided nor the source of this funding is specified by the bill.
