An Act To Amend Title 5 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Delaware Banks And Trust Companies.
Summary
This bill modernizes Delaware's banking laws by clarifying definitions related to digital assets and virtual currency, expanding the State Bank Commissioner's authority to approve banks with limited powers based on risk profiles, and facilitating interstate operations for trust companies and out-of-state banks relocating to Delaware.
