82. a. If the commissioner finds that any of the factors set forth in section 81 of P.L.1996, c.17 (C.17:9A-462) is true with respect to any foreign bank or commercial lending company which is licensed to establish an office and that it is necessary, for the protection of the interests of creditors of the bank's or company's business in this State, or for the protection of the public interest, that the commissioner immediately suspend or revoke the license of the bank or commercial lending company, the commissioner may issue an order suspending or revoking the license of the bank or commercial lending company.

b. (1) Within 30 days after an order is issued pursuant to subsection a. of this section, the foreign bank or commercial lending company to which the order is issued may file with the commissioner an application for a hearing on the order. If the commissioner fails to commence that hearing within 15 business days after that application is filed with the commissioner, or within such longer period to which the bank consents, the order shall be deemed rescinded. Within 30 days after the hearing, the commissioner shall affirm, modify, or rescind the order; otherwise, the order shall be deemed rescinded.

(2) The right of any foreign bank or commercial lending company to which an order is issued under subsection a. of this section to petition for judicial review of that order shall not be affected by the failure of the bank or company to apply to the commissioner for a hearing on the order pursuant to paragraph (1) of this subsection b.
