  • Prohibits insurance company receivers from voiding transfers of collateral made to FHLBanks in the ordinary course of business and in compliance with advance agreements, except for transfers made with actual intent to defraud.

  • Requires FHLBanks to provide receivers with processes for releasing excess collateral, releasing collateral after full repayment, and addressing prepayment fees and stock redemptions within 10 days of request.

  • Adds definitions for "Federal Home Loan Bank," "FHLBank Act," and "Insurer-Member" to Delaware's insurance code.
