(a) A state trust institution may establish or acquire and maintain trust offices anywhere in this state. Any prohibition on the acquisition of an institution that has not been in operation for at least three (3) years shall not apply to trust companies. A state trust institution desiring to establish or acquire and maintain 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, furnish a copy of the resolution adopted by the board authorizing the additional office and pay the filing fee prescribed by the commissioner. If acquiring a trust office, the trust institution shall provide evidence that all fiduciary obligations and liabilities of the parties have been properly discharged or otherwise assumed. (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 acquiring trust institution shall succeed by operation of law to all of the rights, privileges and obligations of the selling trust institution. (d) 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 analysis. If the period of review is extended, the state trust institution may establish the additional office only on prior written approval by the commissioner. (e) 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. (f) A state trust institution may also establish and maintain a new trust office or acquire and maintain an office outside of this state. In addition to the notice required to be provided in subsection (a), the trust institution must also provide evidence that the laws of the jurisdiction where the office is to be located permit an office, a copy of the authorizing board resolution and the filing fee, if any, prescribed by the commissioner. The process of review in subsections (b), (d) and (e) shall be applicable. The commissioner shall also consider the views of the appropriate bank supervisory agencies. (g) A state trust institution is not required to publish public notice in order to establish and maintain a new trust office.
