| HS 1 for HB 57 | Committee | Kowalko | In an attempt to obey federal law, to coordinate with the federal law enforcement agencies, and to assist Delaware registered agents who form LLCs to avoid severe federal fines, this bill attempts to prevent the use of our Limited Liability Act by persons, businesses, groups and nations identified by federal agencies as a threat to this country. Listed entities on OFAC sanctions lists are narcotics traffickers, terrorists, or criminal enterprises with whom federal law forbids Americans from doing business. The means of meeting these objectives is by requiring screening of potential clients (applicants) by companies who are registered agents approved by this State to represent clients who form LLCs. No sanctions will be employed to obtain cooperation, unless the Secretary of State, who already has the authority to deal with registered agents, finds that they are not cooperating. | AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 6 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANIES. |
| SCR 46 | Introduced | Ennis | This Senate Concurrent Resolution urges the Congress of the United States to enact legislation that would reinstate the separation of commercial and investment banking functions that were in effect under the Glass-Steagall Act (Banking Act of 1933). Federal legislation based on the Glass-Steagall precedent is needed in order to prohibit commercial banks and bank holding companies from investing in stocks, underwriting securities, or investing in or acting as guarantors to derivative transactions, in order to prevent American taxpayers from being called upon to fund hundreds of billions of dollars to bail out financial institutions.
| REQUESTING THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES TO REINSTATE THE SEPARATION OF COMMERCIAL AND INVESTMENT BANKING FUNCTIONS PREVIOUSLY IN EFFECT UNDER THE GLASS-STEAGALL ACT AND SUPPORT EFFORTS TO RETURN TO NATIONAL BANKING POLICIES TO REPAIR OUR NATION'S INFRASTRUCTURE. |
