A. A state trust institution may establish or acquire and maintain trust offices or representative trust offices anywhere in this state. A state trust institution desiring to establish or acquire and maintain such an office shall file a written notice with the Commissioner setting forth the name of the state trust institution, the location of the proposed additional office and whether the additional office will be a trust office or a representative trust office. The state trust institution shall also furnish a copy of the resolution adopted by the board authorizing the additional office and pay a fee equal to that for bank branch offices if the office is to be a trust office or the fee equal to that for bank loan production offices if the office is to be a representative trust office.

B. The notificant may commence business at the additional office on the thirty-first day after the date the Commissioner receives the notice, unless the Commissioner specifies an earlier or later date.

C. The thirty-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 an analysis. If the period of review is extended, the state trust institution may establish the additional office only upon prior written approval by the Commissioner.

D. The Commissioner may deny approval of the additional 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 would be contrary to the public interest.
