The State Treasurer may consider factors including, but not necessarily limited to:
         (1) for financial institutions subject to the federal

        (2) any changes in ownership, management, policies,
    
or practices of the financial institution that may affect the level of the financial institution’s commitment to its community;
        (3) the financial impact that the withdrawal or
    
denial of deposits of State funds might have on the financial institution; and
        (4) the financial impact to the State as a result of
    
withdrawing State funds or refusing to deposit additional State funds in the financial institution.
    (a-5) Effective January 1, 2022, no State funds may be deposited in a financial institution subject to the federal Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 unless the institution has a current rating of satisfactory or outstanding under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977.
