Article 1 - State Depositories
§ 27-105-9. Application for keeping state funds; pro rata allocation

The State Treasurer shall give notice of the provisions of this article once a month to each eligible bank and financial institution in the state having an amount of state funds less than the amount authorized to be allocated to the bank or financial institution under Section 27-105-33 and this section, and shall receive such applications as they or any of them may make for the privilege of keeping any part of public funds on forms to be furnished by the Treasurer, and shall place the state funds with the institutions applying for them if the depository application has been duly approved by the Treasurer.
The Treasurer, when considering the various depository applications, shall review the financial statement of the applying depository and become satisfied regarding its liquidity and capital ratio so as to assure the safety of all public funds, and likewise to give the equitable apportionment of the state funds throughout the state.
State funds required for current operation, as determined under Section 27-105-33, shall be deposited in one or more demand accounts. State funds not required for current operation, as determined under Section 27-105-33, shall be deposited in one or more interest-bearing accounts or time certificates of deposit, or otherwise invested under Section 27-105-33. When any depository holding state demand accounts receives an order from the Treasurer or his designee to transfer collected funds out of those accounts to any interest-bearing accounts or time certificates of deposit in the depository or any other depository under the provisions of this chapter, the transfer shall be made immediately or as soon thereafter as practicable. If the Treasurer finds that any depository is not transferring funds as provided above, the depository shall be disqualified from holding or receiving any state demand accounts for a period of time not to exceed one (1) year.
All funds allocated to approved depositories under the provisions of subsection (b) of Section 27-105-33 shall be allocated to qualified depositories of the state on a pro rata basis determined as follows:
Each qualified depository shall be assigned a numerator, which shall be the sum of (i) thirty-five percent (35%) of that portion of its Mississippi-based deposits that does not exceed Two Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($250,000,000.00), plus (ii) twenty-five percent (25%) of that portion of its Mississippi-based deposits that exceed Two Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($250,000,000.00) but does not exceed Five Hundred Million Dollars ($500,000,000.00), plus (iii) fifteen percent (15%) of that portion of its Mississippi-based deposits that exceeds Five Hundred Million Dollars ($500,000,000.00).
Each such numerator shall be divided by a denominator, which shall be the sum of (i) thirty-five percent (35%) of the first Two Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($250,000,000.00) or portion thereof of the Mississippi-based deposits of each qualified depository, plus (ii) twenty-five percent (25%) of the next Two Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($250,000,000.00) or portion thereof of the Mississippi-based deposits of each qualified depository, plus (iii) fifteen percent (15%) of the Mississippi-based deposits of each qualified depository in excess of Five Hundred Million Dollars ($500,000,000.00), being the sum of the numerators of all depositories. The resulting percentage shall be the pro rata share of the depository in funds allocated under Section 27-105-33(b).
All such computations shall be determined annually by December 1 on the basis of the deposits held by the depositories at deposit facilities located in the State of Mississippi as reported in the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's Market Share Report - Deposits of All FDIC-Insured Institutions Operating in Mississippi on June 30 of each year. For the purposes of this section, "Mississippi-based deposits" means the total deposits held at deposit facilities located in the State of Mississippi on June 30 as reported annually by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in the above-referenced report.
State funds allocated to each approved depository shall not be more than four percent (4%) of the depository's Mississippi-based deposits. Interest-bearing time certificates of deposit and other interest-bearing deposits, either general or special, made under Section 27-105-33, may be treated as not coming within this percentage if, in the discretion of the Treasurer, the best interest of the state can be served to increase its earnings and decrease its expenses in the handling of the state funds; however, any and all depositories must first qualify and be approved by the Treasurer to receive demand deposits subject to withdrawal or transfer by check of the Treasurer when properly presented and so demanded. For the purposes of this section, the term "paid-in and earned capital funds" means the sum of common stock, perpetual preferred stock, surplus, undivided profits and capital reserves as these amounts are or would be reflected in a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) banking institution's "Reports of Condition and Income" (Call Reports), regardless of whether the institution is insured by the FDIC.
The state depository contract shall be for one (1) year, but may be renewed from year to year upon proper review and approval of the Treasurer. Each applicant shall furnish to the Treasurer a financial statement sworn to by a duly elected officer, and on such date or dates as the Treasurer may provide.
