2008 Senate Bill 1516

Allow schools to invest in CD Account Registry Service programs

Introduced in the Senate

Sept. 18, 2008

Introduced by Sen. Patricia Birkholz (R-24)

To allow school districts and intermediate school districts to invest retirement funds, building and site funds, sinking funds, or general funds in a Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service program, which spreads an investor's funds among as many member institutions as necessary so that no more than $100,000 is invested in any single institution -- thus allowing the investment to be fully covered by the FDIC insurance.

Referred to the Committee on Education
