13-8-201. Generally.

(a) If the laws of the state, under which any foreign association is organized, require annual examinations of the association and are made pursuant to that law, then the foreign association need not be examined under this section but the foreign association shall annually furnish the state banking commissioner a certificate of the proper officer of the other state that he has made an examination pursuant to the laws of that state and that the affairs of the association are in accord with the laws of that state. The state banking commissioner may, however, when he deems it advisable, cause an examination of the foreign association to be made as is required of domestic associations.

(b) If the state banking commissioner has good reason to doubt the solvency of any foreign association doing business in this state and if he is not fully satisfied with the certificate of the president and secretary or other officer, he shall proceed to make an examination of the association.

(c) If the state banking commissioner finds that the foreign association has made fraudulent or untrue statements or that it is conducting its business in an irregular manner, or if he believes that an association in this state is conducting its business fraudulently or is not in good faith carrying out its contracts with its members or stockholders in this state, or if the contracts, shares or savings certificates are sold under misrepresentation or if it appears that the association is otherwise violating the provisions of this act, he shall inform the attorney general who shall then commence proceedings by writ of quo warranto against the association requiring it to show cause why its license to do business in this state should not be revoked.

(d) The state banking commissioner shall collect from foreign state savings and loan associations doing business in this state when examined in association with the supervisory authorities of the foreign state or federal government, an amount equal to the total cost of making an examination and preparing a report and the necessary travel and other expenses incident to making the examination. The examination fees and expenses shall be deposited by the state banking commissioner with the state treasurer and credited to the financial institutions administration account. Expenditures shall be made from the account by warrants drawn by the state auditor, upon vouchers issued and signed by the director or commissioner. Funds from the account shall be expended only to carry out the duties of the commissioner or the state banking board.
