SUMMARY AS SUBMITTED

BY PROMULGATING AGENCY.

The State Board of Financial Institutions (BOFI) proposes to repeal Regulation 15-45 as it references an outdated "pilot program" which allowed credit unions to utilize electronic fund transfers; these transfers are now allowed by statute at Section 34-26-410.

The Notice of Drafting was published in the State Register on June 28, 2024. The Proposed Regulation was published in the State Register on August 23, 2024.
