Brief (1)
HB 2147 concerns banks and relates to the amount of time a bank may hold personal property before it must be sold or removed from the bank's book of assets. The bill increases the time from six months to one year.
Background
HB 2147 was requested by the Kansas Bankers Association whose representative explained that it is not always possible to complete a commercially reasonable sale within the six-month period. Sometimes the nature of personal property makes it difficult to sell and the extension of time allowed by the bill improves the chances for sale.
The fiscal note prepared by the Division of Budget indicates passage of the bill will have no fiscal effect.
