MS. PAMELA FINLEY, Division of Legal Services, Legislative Affairs                                                              
Agency, said the only change is Section 7 which allows banks to own                                                             
property in connection with negatively amortizing loans.  Several

do what the legislature tried to get them to do.                                                                                
                                                                                                                                
SENATOR DONLEY asked if there is anything in HB 435 that repeals

MS. FINLEY responded no.
