A. The commissioner may, whenever in his judgment the circumstances so warrant, direct any bank or savings bank:

(1) to postpone for any length of time the payment of all or any proportion of its demand or time deposits, as he may deem necessary and expedient, to be determined by him according to the ability of the bank or savings bank to pay withdrawals; and

(2) thereafter to receive new deposits upon such terms as shall be approved by the commissioner.

B. Whenever the commissioner shall direct any bank or savings bank to act under the provisions of this section, he may make such rules and regulations as he shall deem proper for the protection of the bank or savings bank and its depositors, and may require daily reports of its financial condition and operations.

C. All moneys received by a bank or savings bank as new deposits pursuant to paragraph (2) of subsection A of this section shall be given preference over all liabilities of the bank or savings bank incurred prior to action by the commissioner pursuant to this section.
