Notwithstanding other provisions of this article the treasurer of any county, city or town may if the State Commission on Local Debt gives prior approval, deposit local funds in banking institutions outside of the Commonwealth. Such institutions, which shall be designated by the Commission, shall give such security as the Commission deems proper and shall meet such other conditions as the Commission prescribes. All such deposits shall be limited to the sums reasonably necessary to pay principal or interest on obligations of the county, city or town which are payable at some place outside the Commonwealth and where any such banking institution is located.
