(a) If the commissioner finds that a subject institution’s books or records are so incomplete or inaccurate that the commissioner is unable through the normal supervisory process to determine the financial condition of the subject institution or of the details or purpose of any transaction or transactions that may materially affect the financial condition of the subject institution, the commissioner may, without any prior notice or hearing, order the subject institution to do any of the following:

(1) To cease any activity or practice that gave rise, in whole or in part, to the incomplete or inaccurate state of the books or records.

(2) To take affirmative action to restore the books or records to a complete and accurate state.

(b) (1) (A) Within 30 days after an order is issued pursuant to subdivision (a), any subject institution or subject person to whom the order is issued may file with the commissioner an application for a hearing on the order.

(B) If the commissioner fails to commence the hearing within 15 business days after the application is filed with the commissioner, or within any longer period to which the subject institution or subject person consents, the order shall be deemed rescinded.

(C) Within 30 days after the hearing, or within any longer period to which the subject institution or subject person consents, the commissioner shall affirm, modify, or rescind the order. If the commissioner fails to affirm, modify, or rescind the order within this time limit, the order shall be deemed rescinded.

(2) The right of any subject institution or subject person to whom an order is issued under subdivision (a) to petition for judicial review of the order shall not be affected by the failure of the subject institution or subject person to apply to the commissioner for a hearing on the order pursuant to paragraph (1).
