(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 695 , § 214, formerly § 219; renumbered § 214, Pub. L. 87–849, § 1(d) , Oct. 23, 1962 , 76 Stat. 1125 ; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, § 330016(1)(K) , Sept. 13, 1994 , 108 Stat. 2147 .) Historical and Revision Notes Based on section 599 of title 12 , U.S.C., 1940 ed., Banks and Banking (Dec. 23, 1913, ch. 6, § 22(k), as added by act June 19, 1934, ch. 653, § 3, 48 Stat. 1108 ). Final sentence of said section 599, imposing civil liability on violators, was omitted as unnecessary, being merely a declaration of that rule of common law which in the absence of statute fixes civil liability on the wrongdoer. Minor changes were made in phraseology. Editorial Notes Prior Provisions A prior section 214 of this title was renumbered section 210. Amendments 1994— Pub. L. 103–322 substituted “fined under this title” for “fined not more than $5,000”.
