§ 1531 Industrial Bank Inclusion

This law says that when a state rule mentions banks, it also means industrial banks, unless the rule says otherwise or it's about a specific part of the law.

Key Takeaways

  • •State rules about banks automatically cover industrial banks.
  • •The rule does not apply if the law explicitly says it doesn't.
  • •It also does not apply to rules in Division 1.6 or this division.

Example

A state rule that says 'banks must report suspicious transactions' also applies to industrial banks that offer similar financial services.

Because the rule talks about 'banks', the law treats industrial banks the same way, so they must also report suspicious transactions unless the rule specifically excludes them.
