(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 696, §217, formerly §222; renumbered §217, Pub. L. 87–849, §1(d), Oct. 23, 1962, 76 Stat. 1125; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, §330016(1)(H), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2147.)
Historical and Revision NotesBased on section 1150c(b) of title 12, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Banks and Banking (Dec. 20, 1944, ch. 623, §4(b), 58 Stat. 837).
Words “upon conviction thereof” were omitted as surplusage, since punishment cannot be imposed until after conviction.
Other changes were made in phraseology without change of substance.
Prior ProvisionsA prior section 217 was renumbered section 212 of this title and subsequently repealed.
Amendments1994—Pub. L. 103–322 substituted “fined under this title” for “fined not more than $1,000”.
