          COMMENTS:


          Purpose.  This bill makes minor and technical amendments only.   
          The Governor's Reorganization Plan combined the Department of  
          Corporations and the Department of Financial Institutions to  
          create the DBO on July 1, 2013.  DBO now regulates and oversees  
          state chartered banks, credit unions, money transmitters,  
          finance lenders, residential mortgage lenders, escrow agents,  
          mortgage loan originators, deferred deposit transaction  
          licensees, securities broker-dealers, investment advisors, and  
          other business and financial entities.
