Banking Geographic Deregulation Act of 1985 - Amends the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 to authorize a State to permit an out-of-State bank holding company to acquire interest in, or voting shares or assets of, a State bank either without restriction or on the basis of: (1) reciprocal treatment for holding companies of such State; or (2) the location of the other States involved, provided that the State must include any contiguous State among any States qualifying by location.
Provides that as of May 1, 1987: (1) any State statute restricting bank acquisitions by out-of-State bank holding company companies on the basis of the location of the other States involved shall be null and void; and (2) a State may not amend or repeal a statute permitting acquisitions by out-of-State bank holding companies in order to limit the ability of such a company to qualify in an equal manner for such an acquisition if any acquisition qualifying under such statute has been approved by the Federal Reserve Board.
