Section 214.75 - Record keeping and retention(1) A savings bank shall maintain books and records, as required by the division, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and the requirements of its deposit insurance corporation. All books and records shall be current, complete, organized and accessible to the division's agents and examiners and to the savings bank's auditors and accountants.(2) A savings bank employing an outside data processing service shall inform the division at the initiation, renewal or changing of a contract for data processing services with an outside data processing service. The contract shall be submitted to the division at least 60 days before its implementation. The contract shall provide that the records maintained shall at all times be available for examination and audit by the division. A savings bank shall implement internal control and security measures for its data processing activities.(3) The division may examine any data processing center that provides data processing or related services to a savings bank as often as the division examines the savings bank it serves.(4) The division shall by rule prescribe standards by which savings banks must retain records and may destroy those records. Liability may not accrue against the savings bank, the division or this state for destruction of records according to rules of the division promulgated under this subsection. In an action in which records of the savings bank may be called in question or demanded, a showing of compliance with the division's standards shall be sufficient to excuse any inability to produce the records.(5)(a) A savings bank may cause records kept by the savings bank to be recorded, copied or reproduced by any photostatic, photographic or miniature photographic process or by optical imaging if the process employed correctly, accurately and permanently copies, reproduces or forms a medium for copying, reproducing or recording the original record on a film or other durable material. A savings bank may thereafter dispose of the original record. This subsection is applicable to federal savings banks if it does not contravene federal law.(b) Any photographic, photostatic, or miniature photographic copy or reproduction or copy reproduced from a film record or any copy of a record generated by optical disc storage of a savings bank record shall be considered to be an original record for all purposes and shall be treated as an original record in all courts or administrative agencies for the purpose of its admissibility in evidence. A facsimile, exemplification, or certified copy of a photographic copy or reproduction, copy reproduced from a film record, or copy generated from optical disc storage of a record shall, for all purposes, be considered to be a facsimile, exemplification, or certified copy of the original record.Amended by Acts 2015 ch, 196,s 87, eff. 3/2/2016.Amended by Acts 2013 ch, 277,s 16, eff. 4/18/2014.Amended by Acts 2013 ch, 277,s 15, eff. 4/18/2014.1991 a. 221, 280; 1995 a. 27.
