Sec. 202.004. NONBANKING ACQUISITION, ELECTION, OR ACTIVITY. (a) A bank holding company doing business in this state that submits an application, election, or notice to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System under Section 4, Bank Holding Company Act (12 U.S.C. Section 1843), that involves or will involve an office location in this state shall submit to the commissioner a copy of the application, election, or notice when the application, election, or notice is submitted to the board of governors, including a notice or application to acquire a nonbanking institution, an election to be treated as a financial holding company, or a request, proposal, or application to engage in an activity that is or may be a financial activity or an activity incidental or complementary to a financial activity. The bank holding company shall submit other information reasonably requested by the commissioner to determine the manner in which the acquisition, election, or activity will directly or indirectly affect residents of this state.
(b) To assist in determining whether to disapprove the proposed acquisition, election, or activity, the commissioner may hold a public hearing as provided by Section 31.201 , regardless of whether requested to do so by a person, regarding the proposed acquisition, election, or activity and its effect on this state. The commissioner shall convene a hearing if the bank holding company requests a hearing in writing when it submits the application, election, or notice to the commissioner.
(c) The commissioner shall disapprove the proposed acquisition, election, or activity if the commissioner determines that the acquisition, election, or activity would be detrimental to the public interest as a result of probable adverse effects, including undue concentration of resources, decreased or unfair competition, conflicts of interest, or unsound banking practices.
(d) If the commissioner determines to disapprove the proposed acquisition, election, or activity, the commissioner may prepare and file a response to the application, election, or notice with the board of governors and may request that a hearing be held. If the board of governors grants the request, the commissioner shall appear and present evidence at the hearing regarding the reasons the proposed acquisition, election, or activity should be denied.
(e) If the board of governors approves a proposed acquisition, election, or activity that the commissioner disapproved, the commissioner may accept the decision or seek to overturn the decision on appeal as provided by Section 9, Bank Holding Company Act (12 U.S.C. Section 1848).
