Anonymous Unregistered	I can't help but notice that most of the questions or comments in the PA state forum never receive an answer!!!

I do not purport to speak for anyone else, but I seldom answer questions in the PA forum simply because I don't have the answers. I would imagine that this is the case in many of the state forums, as well. State specific questions are typically of a more narrow focus, and are viewed by a smaller number of posters, which significantly decreases the chances of a viewer being able to provie a correct answer (or even an incorrect answer.)

And also because our bank recently has gone through a number of acquisitions, and there doesn't seem to be enough time in each day. I am open to PMs or phone calls; certainly some of the PA posters have become good two way contacts for those tough state issues.

However, it looks like a good bit of the day will be spent reviewing federal reg changes, as well. Still haven't decided. www.pabanker.com/calendar/2004/May 25_PABankingLaw.htm

Deena Power Poster Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 2,701 PA	I thought the same thing about the seminar. I have suggested a seminar about state law issues on every evaluation I've given to PBA, but this doesn't look to be what I had in mind. _________________________ Opinions expressed are mine and not necessarily those of my employer.

She asked for sample topics to send to the presenter, so I sent that out 2 days ago. Haven't heard anything, yet. BTW - I thought for sure I was the only one who suggested it on every feedback form. It'd frost them a little if we don't show.

MAG 100 Club Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 101	Hi PA Bankers - I share the same thoughts on that particular seminar. I just posted a question and I really hesitated to do so because I don't usually get an answer. Does anyone know a good source to call with PA State law questions?

Michelle III I'm just bumping this up because it doesn't seem to have been resolved. One possible start is to forward these types of questions to: Jackie Ametrano Catalano Assistant Vice President of Education Pennsylvania Bankers Association 717-255-6939 717-233-1477 www.pabanker.com If we provide enough interest, it is possible that a topics-specific seminar could be offered. Anyone interested in this type of seminar should e-mail specific topic interests to: jametrano@pabanker.com

PABanker Gold Star Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 491 Blue Ball, PA 17506	I believe we should compose a list of state issues on this thread and send it to PBA. Sometimes if we put our heads together we may produce a better list than doing by individual. It is your call. On the escheat questions, I usually go directly to the state treasury office and have received great response time on my issues. I did see on Unclaimed Property website that the state is holding seminars in the fall that may be of value to those of us who need updates on that front.

I did ask them (OCC - all former bankers) about the apparent lack of a comprehensive resource for PA banking law. They completely agreed that only bits and pieces are available online. One of them said that the state record retention schedule is extremely old - some items weren't even invented when the schedule was compiled - and the categories aren't well-named. Another said he would contact one of his former colleagues in the PA Dept. of Banking about a resource.
