A. To the extent consistent with subsection C of this section, the Commissioner may make such examinations of any office established and maintained in this state pursuant to Sections 10 through 25 of this act by an out-of-state trust institution as the Commissioner may deem necessary to determine whether the office is being operated in compliance with the laws of this state and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices. The provisions of Section 209 of Title 6 of the Oklahoma Statutes shall apply to such examinations.
B. The Commissioner may require periodic reports regarding any out-of-state trust institution that has maintained an office in this state pursuant to Sections 10 through 25 of this act. The required reports shall be provided by such trust institution or by the home state regulator. Any reporting requirements prescribed by the Commissioner under this subsection shall be:
1. Consistent with the reporting requirements applicable to state trust companies; and
2. Appropriate for the purpose of enabling the Commissioner to carry out the responsibilities of the Commission pursuant to Sections 10 through 25 of this act.
C. The Commissioner may enter into cooperative, coordinating and information-sharing agreements with any other bank supervisory agencies or any organization affiliated with or representing one or more bank supervisory agencies with respect to the periodic examination or other supervision of any office in this state of an out-of-state trust institution, or any office of a state trust institution in any host state. The Commissioner may accept such a report of examination and report of investigation in lieu of the Commissioner conducting an examination or investigation.
D. The Commissioner may enter into contracts with any bank supervisory agency that has concurrent jurisdiction over a state trust institution or an out-of-state trust institution maintaining an office in this state to engage the services of such agency's examiners at a reasonable rate of compensation, or to provide the services of the Commissioner's examiners to such agency at a reasonable rate of compensation. Any such contract shall be deemed a sole source contract under state law.
E. The Commissioner may enter joint examinations or joint enforcement actions with other bank supervisory agencies having concurrent jurisdiction over any office established and maintained in this state by an out-of-state trust institution or any office established and maintained by a state trust institution in any host state. The Commissioner may at any time take such actions independently if the Commissioner deems such actions to be necessary or appropriate to carry out the responsibilities of the Commissioner pursuant to this section or to ensure compliance with the laws of this state. However, in the case of an out-of-state trust institution, the Commissioner shall recognize the exclusive authority of the home state regulator over corporate governance matters and the primary responsibility of the home state regulator to safety and soundness matters.
F. Each out-of-state trust institution that maintains one or more offices in this state may be assessed and, if assessed, shall pay supervisory and examination fees in accordance with the laws of this state and rules of the Commissioner. Such fees may be shared with other bank supervisory agencies or any organization affiliated with or representing one or more bank supervisory agencies in accordance with agreements between such parties and the Commissioner.
