    (a) After-hours deposits
      For purposes of this chapter, any deposit which is made on a
    Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday, or after the close of business on
    any business day shall be deemed to have been made on the next
    business day.
    (b) Availability at start of business day
      Except as provided in subsections (b)(3) and (c)(1)(B) of section
    4002 of this title, if any provision of this chapter requires that
    funds be available for withdrawal on any business day, such funds
    shall be available for withdrawal at the start of such business
    day.
    (c) Effect on policies of depository institutions
      No provision of this chapter shall be construed as - 
        (1) prohibiting a depository institution from making funds
      available for withdrawal in a shorter period of time than the
      period of time required by this chapter; or
        (2) affecting a depository institution's right - 
          (A) to accept or reject a check for deposit;
          (B) to revoke any provisional settlement made by the
        depository institution with respect to a check accepted by such
        institution for deposit;
          (C) to charge back the depositor's account for the amount of
        such check; or
          (D) to claim a refund of such provisional credit.
    (d) Prohibition on freezing certain funds in an account
      In any case in which a check is deposited in an account at a
    depository institution and the funds represented by such check are
    not yet available for withdrawal pursuant to this chapter, the
    depository institution may not freeze any other funds in such
    account (which are otherwise available for withdrawal pursuant to
    this chapter) solely because the funds so deposited are not yet
    available for withdrawal.
    (e) Employee training on and compliance with requirements of this
      chapter
      Each depository institution shall - 
        (1) take such actions as may be necessary fully to inform each

      chapter) of the requirements of this chapter; and
        (2) establish and maintain procedures reasonably designed to
      assure and monitor employee compliance with such requirements.
