51A-6A-36. Service of notice of charges--Contents of notice--Temporary cease and desist order.
If the director determines that any trust company is engaging or has engaged, or the director has reasonable cause to believe that the trust company is about to engage, in an unsafe or unsound practice in conducting the business of the trust company, or if the director determines that any trust company is violating or has violated, or the director has reasonable cause to believe that the trust company is about to violate a law, rule, or order of the director or the commission, the director may issue and serve upon the trust company a notice of charges. The notice shall contain a statement of the facts constituting any alleged unsafe or unsound practice or any alleged violation and shall state the time and place at which a hearing will be held by the commission to determine whether an order to cease and desist should be issued by the commission against the trust company. The hearing shall be fixed for a date not earlier than thirty days nor later than sixty days after service of the notice. The hearing shall be conducted pursuant to chapter 1-26. Any determination by the director or the commission under this section is subject to review under chapter 1-26.
Unless the trust company appears at the hearing, the trust company is considered to have consented to the issuance of the cease and desist order. In the event of such consent, or if upon the record made at the hearing, the commission finds that any unsafe or unsound practice or violation specified in the notice of charges has been established, the commission may issue and serve upon the trust company an order to cease and desist from any such practice or violation. The order may, by provisions which may be mandatory or otherwise, require the trust company and its board members, officers, employees, and agents to cease and desist from the practice or violation and to take affirmative action to correct the conditions resulting from the practice or violation. A cease and desist order becomes effective at the time specified in the order, and remains effective and enforceable as provided in the order, except to such extent as it is stayed, modified, terminated, or set aside by action of the commission.
If the director determines that any unsafe or unsound practice or violation specified in the notice of charges served upon the trust company, or the continuation of the practice or violation, is likely to cause insolvency or substantial dissipation of assets or earnings of the trust company, or is likely to otherwise seriously prejudice the interests of its customers, the director may issue a temporary order requiring the trust company to cease and desist from the practice or violation. The order is effective upon service upon the trust company and shall remain effective and enforceable pending the completion of the proceedings pursuant to the notice and until the commission dismisses the charges specified in the notice, or if a cease and desist order is issued against the trust company, until the effective date of the order.
