13-10-204. Temporary cease and desist order; Wyoming financial institutions; bank holding companies; service.

(a) If the commissioner believes the actions of a Wyoming financial institution or of any officer, director, employee or agent of the institution pose an immediate threat to the safety and soundness of the financial institution or to the interests of the depositors, creditors or shareholders of the financial institution, he may issue a temporary cease and desist order to the financial institution pending final action on the proposed cease and desist order issued pursuant to W.S. 13-10-203.

(b) If the commissioner believes the actions of a bank holding company or of any officer, director, manager, employee or agent of the bank holding company pose an immediate threat to the safety and soundness of a Wyoming financial institution owned or controlled by the holding company or to the interests of the depositors, creditors or shareholders of the financial institution, the commissioner may issue a temporary cease and desist order to the bank holding company pending final action on the proposed cease and desist order issued pursuant to W.S. 13-10-203.

(c) The temporary order shall be in writing and shall be served upon the Wyoming financial institution or the bank holding company. The temporary order shall take effect upon service and shall remain in effect until the commissioner issues the final cease and desist order or the board dismisses the proposed cease and desist order after hearing.

(d) On or after the effective date of the temporary order, the attorney general, upon request from the commissioner, may apply to the district court for the county in which the Wyoming financial institution is located for enforcement of the temporary order. The application for enforcement shall be given precedence over other cases pending in court and shall in every way be expedited.
