  • Branching and Merging Under New York's Omnibus Banking Law
    [Vol.115 BRANCHING AND MERGING UNDER NEW YORK'S OMNIBUS BANKING LAW State-chartered banks and trust companies in New York State have been permitted to open branches within their head office city since before the turn of the century.1 The large number of bank failures in the 1930's led many to propose some expansion of the branching and merger powers in order to strengthen a system seri- ously weakened by the Depression.2 The New York State Legislature reacted in 1934 by enacting legislation which divided New York State into nine districts within which state banks and trust companies could branch and merge? State banks and trust companies, however, could not branch into a city or village in which there was already located the "home office" of another bank, trust company or national banking association.4 The law pertaining to branching and merging remained un- changed despite criticism and persistent lobbying for twenty-six years by the larger commercial banking institutions of the state, par- ticularly those located in New York City.' Agitation for reform of what was considered by disinterested students to be an archaic banking code culminated in serious legislative consideration in 1959 of a bill essentially the same as that finally enacted in 1960. This bill, however, although vigorously pressed by the leaders of the Republican Party which controlled both houses of the New York Legislature, was de- feated by a coalition consisting of the entire Democratic minority and a group of Republicans? The same coalition was expected to prevent passage of the 1960 legislation 7 but a sudden shift in both houses by Democratic legis- lators from Brooklyn and the Bronx' resulted in swift enactment of the so-called Omnibus Banking Bill of 1960.' The new Omnibus Banking Law made significant changes in the law pertaining to branch- ing and merging of banks in the New York City area.
