(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 696, § 217, formerly § 222; renumbered § 217, Pub. L. 87–849, § 1(d), Oct. 23, 1962, 76 Stat. 1125; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, § 330016(1)(H), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2147.)
|
||
|
||
## Notes
|
||
|
||
Historical and Revision NotesBased on section 1150c(b) of title 12, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Banks and Banking (Dec. 20, 1944, ch. 623, § 4(b), 58 Stat. 837). Words “upon conviction thereof” were omitted as surplusage, since punishment cannot be imposed until after conviction. Other changes were made in phraseology without change of substance.
|
||
|
||
Editorial Notes
|
||
|
||
Prior ProvisionsA prior section 217 was renumbered section 212 of this title and subsequently repealed.
