H 4905 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to certain loans by the Federal Home Loan Bank

This bill amends state laws to update references to the Federal Home Loan Bank and establishes new rules for how the bank handles loans and collateral with insurance company members. It prevents lawsuits or enforcement actions against the bank for more than 10 days and limits the ability to undo financial transfers made during bankruptcy proceedings. Additionally, the law requires the bank to repurchase excess stock within seven days of a request and mandates a clear timeline for releasing collateral and restructuring loans when an insurer member faces financial trouble. These changes aim to clarify the bank's operations and protect its financial interests while interacting with member insurers.
