What This Bill Does

Outlines restrictions on state trust companies during periods of supervision by the banking commissioner. During such a period, trust companies cannot sell assets, lend or invest funds, incur new debts, pay dividends, solicit new client accounts, change executive leadership, or engage in any activities deemed by the commissioner to potentially threaten the company's financial stability. These limitations require prior approval from the banking commissioner and aim to protect the trust company's financial health during supervised periods.
