In May of 2019, Governor Brian Kemp came to CBA’s office to sign SB157 into law. SB157 erased a tremendous advantage for large banks by allowing community banks to place municipal deposits into an approved reciprocal deposit network, eliminating the need to pledge collateral and maintain costly, time-consuming pricing records. As of last week, over $300 million has been placed into the reciprocal deposit networks by Georgia’s community banks. “I am delighted to see the meaningful impact SB157 is having on community banks and their local municipalities. As a result of CBA’s community bank-only focus,  local community banks, and local municipalities won with SB157,” stated Lori Godfrey, CBA’s Chief of Staff and EVP of Government and Regulatory Relations. John McNair, Pres/CEO of CBA, commented, “When I came to CBA in October of 2018, I was stunned to learn that Georgia was the only state in the country to still require collateral pledging for municipal deposits. This was a clear disadvantage for community banks and local municipalities. CBA fought hard to get SB157 passed, and I am grateful for the support of the legislature and Governor Kemp to level the playing field for Georgia’s community banks.”
