Full text of New Jersey New Jersey Statutes § 17:9a-23, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 17:9a-23.
Whenever the officers of a bank are of the opinion that an emergency exists which
affects one or more or all the bank's offices, they shall have authority to close
one or more or all such offices even though the commissioner has not issued and does
not issue a proclamation of emergency, and they may, but need not, provide that the
business normally transacted at a closed office will be transacted at another office
designated by the bank until further notice. The office or offices so closed shall remain closed until the commissioner proclaims
that the emergency has ended, or until such earlier time as the officers of the bank
determine that one or more offices, theretofore closed because of the emergency, should
reopen, or, if the commissioner has issued no proclamation of emergency, until the
officers of the bank determine that such office or offices should reopen. The discretion of the officers in acting pursuant to this section, when exercised
in good faith, shall not be questioned in any court or place.
