The bill has been referred by the Governor to the California Assembly and Senate Banking Committees for review and to determine if a study will be done on the feasibility of establishing a state-owned bank that would receive deposits of state funds. This bill will establish the California Investment Trust modeled after the Bank of North Dakota, the country’s only public bank.  http://banknd.nd.gov/

“The California Investment Trust will strengthen economic and community development. By providing loans to individuals and businesses, the California Investment Trust will eliminate fees currently paid by state government for banking services, and will combine these savings with additional revenue generated through various operating activities. “

*J.F. Kennedy tried to restart the government owned bank — check into it, he made $5 bills that were not part of the Federal Reserve.
