The Garn-St Germain Depository Institutions Act of 1982 permits federally chartered savings and loan associations to engage in certain activities such as Demand Deposits, Governmental Unit NOW Accounts, Commercial Real Estate Loans, Commercial Loans, and Consumer Loans. However, before federally chartered savings and loan associations can engage in these activities, the Federal Home Loan Bank Board must promulgate a regulation authorizing these activities. On November 4, 1982, the Federal Home Loan Bank Board adopted Temporary final rule No. 82 which permits federally chartered savings and loan associations to engage in the above-mentioned activities, effective retroactively to October 15, 1982, the date of the enactment of the Garn-St Germain Depository Institutions Act of 1982.
State-chartered savings and loan associations are authorized to engage in those activities mentioned above that are authorized by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board for federally chartered savings and loan associations by Temporary final rule No. 82, dated November 4, 1982.
