Chapter 51 - Arkansas Trust Institutions Act
§ 23-51-179. Conditions for approval

(a) No trust office of an out-of-state trust institution may be acquired or established in this state under this chapter unless:
(1) The out-of-state trust institution shall have confirmed in writing to the Bank Commissioner that for as long as it maintains a trust office in this state, it will comply with all applicable laws of this state;
(2) The notificant shall have provided satisfactory evidence to the commissioner of compliance with any applicable requirements of § 4-27-1501 et seq. and the applicable requirements of its home state regulator for acquiring or establishing and maintaining the office;
(3) The commissioner, acting within sixty (60) days after receiving notice under § 23-51-178, shall have certified to the home state regulator that the requirements of this chapter have been met and the notice has been approved or, if applicable, that any conditions imposed by the commissioner pursuant to subsection (b) of this section have been satisfied.

(b) The out-of-state trust institution may commence business at the trust office sixty (60) days after the date the commissioner receives the notice unless the commissioner specifies another date, provided, with respect to an out-of-state trust institution that is not a depository institution and for which the commissioner shall have conditioned such approval on the satisfaction by the notificant of any requirement applicable to a state trust company pursuant to § 23-51-106(b) or § 23-51-110, the institution shall have satisfied such conditions and provided to the commissioner satisfactory evidence thereof.
(c) The sixty-day period of review may be extended by the commissioner on a determination that the written notice raises issues that require additional information or additional time for analysis. If the period of review is extended, the out-of-state trust institution may establish the office only on prior written approval by the commissioner.
(d) The commissioner may deny approval of the office if the commissioner finds that the notificant lacks sufficient financial resources to undertake the proposed expansion without adversely affecting its safety or soundness or that the proposed office is contrary to the public interest. In acting on the notice, the commissioner shall consider the views of the appropriate bank supervisory agencies.
