A bill for an act relating to bank utilization of filing services offered by the secretary of state.

HF 396 would have allowed banks to use the Secretary of State's office for expedited document filing services under Chapter 524, specifically referencing section 524.303. The bill added a provision requiring the Secretary to provide these extra services with a surcharge, as outlined in Chapter 9. This change would directly affect banks filing documents under Chapter 524 by giving them access to faster processing options. The bill was introduced on February 13, 2025, but was substituted and withdrawn on March 11, 2025, without becoming law.
