(a)
Before any bank shall be named as a state depository to receive public funds,
it shall either pledge or provide to the State Treasurer, as collateral, securities
or other obligations having an aggregate current face value or current quoted
market value at least equal to the deposits or provide to the State Treasurer a
surety bond or surety bonds in favor of the State Treasurer in an amount at
least equal to the deposits, provided, however, that amounts insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Federal Savings and Loan
Insurance Corporation need not be so collateralized. The president or cashier
of each depository bank shall submit to the Treasurer and the State Investment
Commission a statement subscribed and sworn to by him showing:
1.
The face value or current quoted market value of the securities or other
obligations pledged or provided as of the time the securities or other
obligations are offered as collateral; and
2.
The value of surety bonds provided as of the time such surety bonds are
provided as collateral.
The valuation of all pledged or provided collateral and the face amount of all
surety bonds provided as collateral shall be reported to the State Treasurer and
State Investment Commission upon receipt of deposit and within ten (10) days
of the close of each quarter after the quarter beginning December 31. Such
value with respect to pledged collateral other than surety bonds shall be as of
the end of the quarter or the preceding business day and, as to market values,
shall be obtained from a reputable bond pricing service. The State Treasurer
and Governor may from time to time call for additional collateral to
adequately secure the deposits as aggregate face or current market values may
require.
No deposit of state collected demand and time funds shall collectively exceed
at any time the depository's sum of capital, reserves, undivided profits and
surplus or ten percent (10%) of the total deposits of any particular depository,
whichever is less. Deposits will be valued at the end of each business day.
As an alternative to paragraph (1)(a) of this section, a Kentucky depository
insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation may either pledge to the
State Treasurer, as collateral, securities or other obligations having an
aggregate face value or a current quoted market value or provide to the State
Treasurer a surety bond or surety bonds in an amount equal to eighty percent
(80%) of the value of the state deposit including demand and time accounts, if
the depository is determined by the State Investment Commission to have very
strong credit with little or no credit risk at any maturity level and the
likelihood of short-term unexpected problems of significance is minimal or
not of a serious or long-term nature. The value of the state deposit will be
determined at the end of the business day of deposit and as of the end of
business on the last day of each quarter that funds are so deposited.

(c) Depositories designated as qualified for reduced pledging shall be so recorded
in the executive journal.
(d) The State Investment Commission shall determine eligibility for the reduced
pledging option based on totally objective and quantifiable measures of
financial intermediary performance. The information for such eligibility shall
be obtained from publicly available documents. The State Investment
Commission shall promulgate the particular criteria of eligibility by
regulations issued pursuant to KRS Chapter 13A.
Depositories which do not qualify or do not choose to qualify under subsection (1)
or (2) of this section shall not receive state deposits in excess of amounts that are

pledged for the payment of the principal and interest thereof, and any bonds,
