State as a legal holiday. From 12 |
o'clock noon to 12 o'clock midnight of
each Saturday shall be |
considered a half holiday. In addition to such
holidays and |
half-holidays, a bank may select one day of the week to remain
|
closed, as provided in subsection (b) of this Section.
|
(b) Any bank doing business within this State may select |
any one day of
the week to remain closed on a regular basis |
upon adoption of a resolution
by the board of directors of such |
bank designating the day selected and
upon filing and |
publishing a copy of such resolution as hereinafter
required. |
Any such resolution shall be deemed effective for the purpose |
|
of
this Section only when a copy thereof, certified by an |
officer having charge
of the records of such bank, is filed |
with the Recorder of the county in
which such bank is located |
and published once each week for 3 successive
weeks in a |
newspaper of general circulation in such county. Such
|
publication shall be accomplished by, and at the expense of, |
the bank, and
the bank shall submit to the Commissioner of |
Banks and Real Estate such evidence of the publication as the |
Commissioner shall deem
appropriate. Any such selection shall |
remain in full force and effect until a
copy of the later |
resolution of the board of directors of such bank, certified
|
in like manner, terminating or altering any such prior |
selection shall be filed
and published in the same manner as |
such prior resolution.
|
(c) If an occasion arises when a state bank wishes to |
remain closed on a
particular day, other than a day on which |
the bank has selected to remain
closed on a regular basis as |
provided in this Section, such state bank may
remain closed on |
such an occasion after first sending to the Commissioner a
|
copy of a resolution adopted by the board of directors |
authorizing the bank
to remain closed on such occasion and |
notice of the intent to remain closed
on such occasion shall be |
conspicuously posted in the lobby of the main
banking office |
and any branches of such bank for at least 3 weeks in
advance |
of such occasion. Any day which any bank doing business within |
the
State shall select to remain closed pursuant to this |
|
Section shall, with
respect to such bank, be treated and |
considered as a Sunday.
|
(d) All legal holidays, the half holidays and
any day |
selected by a bank doing business within the State to remain
|
closed, shall, for all purposes whatsoever, as
regards the |
presenting for payment or acceptance, the maturity and
|
protesting and giving of notice of the dishonor of bills of |
exchange, bank
checks and promissory notes and other |
negotiable or commercial paper or
instrument, be treated and |
considered as a Sunday. When any such holidays
fall on Sunday, |
the Monday
next following shall be held and considered such |
holiday. All notes, bills,
drafts, checks or other evidence of |
indebtedness, falling due or maturing
on either of such days, |
shall be deemed as due or maturing upon the day
following, and |
when 2 or more of these days come together, or immediately
|
succeeding each other, then such instruments, paper or |
indebtedness shall
be deemed as due or having matured on the |
day following the last of such
days.
|
(e) Any act authorized, required or permitted to be |
performed at or by or
with respect to any bank doing business |
within the State on a day which it
has selected to remain |
closed under this Section may be so performed on the
next |
succeeding business day and no liability or loss of rights of |
any kind
shall result from such delay.
|
(f) Nothing in this Act shall in any manner affect the |
validity of, or
render void or voidable, the payment, |
|
certification, or acceptance of a
check or other negotiable |
instrument, or any other transaction by a bank in
this State, |
because done or performed on any Saturday, Sunday, holiday, or
|
any day selected by a bank to remain closed, or during any time |
other than
regular banking hours; but no bank in this State, |
which by law or custom is
entitled to remain open or to close |
for the whole or any part of any day
selected by it to remain |
open or to close, is compelled to close, or to
remain open for |
