Purpose


The proposed new rule adopts federal standards set by the U.S. Treasury Department, Office of Foreign Assets Control, in 31 C.F.R. Part 561 to establish the minimum standards for due diligence policies, procedures, and controls for Florida state chartered financial institutions that maintain certain accounts with foreign financial institutions, to reasonably detect whether the foreign financial institution engages in certain activities facilitating the development of weapons of mass destruction by the Government of Iran, provides support for certain foreign terrorist organizations, or participates in other related activities.
