The Commissioner may adopt rules to require financial institutions with their principal place of business in this State to offer basic checking and savings accounts if the Commissioner finds a material deterioration in the availability and cost of basic checking and savings account services in the results of any two consecutive surveys. The rule adopted by the Commissioner under this section shall assure that any required basic banking will not impair the safety and soundness of any affected financial institution and that any such rules shall not adversely affect other consumers of banking services.
