Chapter 673 - Savings Banks
NRS 673.480 - Authority of Commissioner to make information available to other officers and agencies; documents, reports and information remain property of Division of Financial Institutions or Commissioner; disclosures by savings bank.

1. Before disclosing or furnishing any document, report or information under this section, the Commissioner must determine that such document, report or information will receive protection from further disclosure comparable to the protections provided by this chapter.
2. The Commissioner, his or her agents and employees may furnish all or any part of an examination report, work paper, supervisory agreement or directive, order or other information obtained in the conduct of a hearing, investigation or examination under the provisions of this chapter to:
(a) An agency of the Federal Government or of another state empowered to examine or supervise a savings bank, a bank holding company or savings and loan holding company owning a savings bank, or a subsidiary of such holding company;
(b) An official empowered to investigate criminal charges subject to legal process, valid search warrant or subpoena, provided that the Commissioner may only furnish that part of any document or report which is necessary and pertinent to the investigation, and the Commissioner may do this only after notifying the affected savings bank and any customer of the savings bank who is named in such part of the document or report ordered to be furnished unless the official requesting the document or report first obtains a waiver of the notice requirement from a court of competent jurisdiction for good cause;
(c) The examined savings bank or holding company thereof;
(d) A receiver or liquidator appointed pursuant to this chapter; or
(e) The court in a proceeding initiated by the Commissioner concerning the savings bank if the Commissioner first provides such notice to the savings bank as will afford the savings bank an opportunity to object or to seek a protective order.
3. Except as otherwise provided in subsections 4 and 5, all documents, reports and information furnished by the Commissioner pursuant to this section remain the property of the Division of Financial Institutions, and no person, agency or authority to whom such documents, reports or information are made available, or any officer, director or employee thereof, may disclose any of the documents, reports or information contained therein, except in published statistical material that does not disclose the affairs of any natural person or corporation.
4. An examination report made by the Division of Financial Institutions is designed for use in the supervision of a savings bank. The report shall remain the property of the Commissioner and will be furnished to the savings bank solely for its confidential use. The savings bank may disclose the report or relevant portions thereof to any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or affiliates as necessary and appropriate in the conduct of its affairs. Under no circumstances may the savings bank or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or affiliates disclose or make public in any manner the report or any portion thereof to any person or organization not connected with the savings bank as officer, director, employee, attorney, auditor or candidate for executive office with the savings bank or its holding company. The savings bank may also, after execution of an agreement not to disclose information in the report, disclose the report or relevant portions thereof to a party proposing to acquire or merge with the savings bank.
5. Except for an examination report as provided in subsection 4, a savings bank may disclose any document, report or information provided by the savings bank to the Commissioner and any document, report or information received by the savings bank from the Commissioner to any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or affiliates as necessary and appropriate in the conduct of its affairs.
6. A savings bank, a bank holding company or a savings and loan holding company owning a savings bank, or a subsidiary of such a holding company, does not violate this section by complying with a duty to report to the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, without limitation, by disclosing any order of the Commissioner pursuant to such a duty.
