California § 1812 - In this section: (1)

§ 1812. In this section: (1)

(a) In this section: (1) “Adjusted liabilities,” when used with respect to a foreign (other nation) bank which is licensed to maintain a branch office in this state, means the liabilities of such bank’s business in this state, excluding (A) accrued expenses, (B) any liability to an office (whether in or outside of this state) or majority-owned subsidiary of the bank, and (C) such other liabilities as the commissioner may by regulation or order exclude. (2) “Eligible assets” means any asset which the commissioner by regulation or order determines to be eligible for purposes of this section. However, “eligible asset,” when used with respect to a foreign (other nation) bank which is licensed to maintain a branch office, includes (A) any asset which such bank maintains on deposit pursuant to Section 1811 and (B) any reserves which the bank maintains with respect to its business in this state in accordance with requirements prescribed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. (b) For purposes of this section, the amount of eligible assets and the amount of adjusted liabilities of a foreign (other nation) bank which is licensed to maintain a branch office in this state shall each be computed for such period, in such manner, and on such basis as the commissioner may by regulation or order prescribe. (c) A foreign (other nation) bank licensed to maintain a branch office in this state shall hold at its branch offices in this state or at such other places as the commissioner may approve, eligible assets in such amount, if any, as the commissioner may from time to time by regulation or order determine to be necessary for the maintenance of sound financial condition, for the protection of the interests of creditors of the bank’s business in this state, or for the protection of the public interest. However, in no event shall such amount exceed 108 percent of the adjusted liabilities of the bank’s business in this state. (d) If the commissioner finds, with respect to a foreign (other nation) bank licensed to maintain a branch office in this state, that such action is necessary for the maintenance of sound financial condition, for the protection of the interests of creditors of such bank’s business in this state, or for the protection of the public interest, the commissioner may order the bank to place all or part of the eligible assets which the bank is required to hold under subdivision (c) in the custody of such bank organized under the laws of this state or such national bank headquartered in this state as the commissioner may designate.
