Chapter 51 - Arkansas Trust Institutions Act
§ 23-51-182. Enforcement

(a)
(1) Consistent with the Arkansas Administrative Procedure Act, § 25-15-201 et seq., after notice and opportunity for hearing, the Bank Commissioner may determine:
(A) That an office maintained by an out-of-state trust institution in this state is being operated in violation of any provision of the laws of this state or in an unsafe and unsound manner; or
(B) That a company is engaged in an unauthorized trust activity

(2) In either event, the commissioner shall have the authority to take all such enforcement actions as he or she would be empowered to take if the office or the company were a state trust company, including but not limited to issuing an order temporarily or permanently prohibiting the company from engaging in a trust business in this state.

(b) In cases involving extraordinary circumstances requiring immediate action, the commissioner may take any action permitted by subsection (a) of this section without notice or opportunity for hearing, but shall promptly afford a subsequent hearing upon an application to rescind the action taken. The commissioner shall promptly give notice to the home state regulator of each enforcement action taken against an out-of-state trust institution and, to the extent practicable, shall consult and cooperate with the home state regulator in pursuing and resolving the enforcement action.
