H 958 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to certain loans by the federal home loan bank

This Massachusetts bill updates state laws to clarify the role of the Federal Home Loan Bank in handling loans and collateral related to insurance companies. It amends existing statutes to include the Federal Home Loan Bank as a specific entity subject to state insurance regulations and defines the bank's legal status under federal law. Key provisions require the bank to act within ten days to release excess collateral or provide timelines for managing assets when an insurer enters delinquency proceedings. Additionally, the bill mandates that the bank repurchase excess stock held by member insurers within seven days of a redemption request if federal laws allow it. These changes aim to streamline the process for recovering assets and managing loans when an insurer faces financial difficulties.
