§1465 — Title 12 Banks and Banking | U.S. Code

Summary

Courts and the Comptroller must use the same rules as for national banks when they decide if a State law applies to a Federal savings association. Even though sections 1463 and 1464 give federal powers, this chapter does not replace all State laws. Section 25b(i) applies to Federal savings associations and their subsidiaries the same as it does to national banks and their subsidiaries. If the Comptroller enforces rules under this chapter or under section 45 of title 15, private parties can still go to court to enforce their federal or State law rights.

(a)Any determination by a court or by the Director or any successor officer or agency regarding the relation of State law to a provision of this chapter or any regulation or order prescribed under this chapter shall be made in accordance with the laws and legal standards applicable to national banks regarding the preemption of State law.

(b)Notwithstanding the authorities granted under section 1463 and 1464 of this title, this chapter does not occupy the field in any area of State law.

(c)The provisions of section 11 So in original. Probably should be “section”. 25b(i) of this title shall apply to Federal savings associations, and any subsidiary thereof, to the same extent and in the same manner as if such savings associations, or subsidiaries thereof, were national banks or subsidiaries of national banks, respectively.

(d)The ability of the Comptroller of the Currency to bring an enforcement action under this chapter or section 45 of title 15 does not preclude any private party from enforcing rights granted under Federal or State law in the courts.
