(2) The director may enter into a contract with a bank supervisory agency that has concurrent jurisdiction over a banking institution or non-Oregon institution operating a branch or other office or place of business in this state to engage the services of the agency’s examiners at a reasonable rate of compensation or to provide the services of the director’s examiners to the agency at a reasonable rate of compensation. The contract is exempt from competitive bidding requirements under the provisions of ORS chapters 279A and 279B. The contract may resolve conflicts of laws and specify the manner in which examination, supervision and application processes will be coordinated between this state and the home state of the non-Oregon institution.
(3) The director may enter into joint examinations or joint enforcement actions with other bank supervisory agencies that have concurrent jurisdiction over a non-Oregon institution branch or other office or place of business located in this state or a branch of a banking institution located in another state. Conducting a joint examination or enforcement action under this section does not prevent the director from conducting an independent examination or enforcement action at any time if the director determines that carrying out the director’s responsibilities or ensuring compliance with the laws of this state requires the independent action. With respect to examinations or enforcement actions that involve non-Oregon institutions, the director shall recognize:
(a) The exclusive authority of the banking supervisory agency of the home state or country of the non-Oregon institution over corporate governance matters; and
(b) The primary responsibility of the banking supervisory agency of the home state or country of the non-Oregon institution over safety and soundness matters.
(4) The director may share fees collected from non-Oregon institutions under the provisions of the Bank Act with another bank supervisory agency or an organization affiliated with or representing one or more bank supervisory agencies in accordance with agreements between the agency or organization and the director.
