§ 34-30-760. Violations; statement, order of discontinuance and compliance; enforcement by court; application for hearing and suspension of order; notice; adjudication.

If the board, as a result of an examination or from a report made to it, finds that a state savings bank or a service corporation or subsidiary is violating the provisions of its articles of incorporation or bylaws, the laws of this State or the United States, or any lawful order or regulation of the board, it shall state, by a formal written order delivered to the home office, the alleged violation, with a statement of the facts alleged to constitute the violation, and order discontinuance of the violation and compliance with all requirements of law. The order must specify its effective date, which may be immediate or may be at a later date, and it remains in effect until withdrawn by the board or until terminated by a court order. The order of the board, upon application made on or after its effective date by the board to the circuit court in the county in which the home office of the association or organization is located, may be enforced by the court. A state savings bank or company affected by an order of the board, after its receipt, shall have the right to apply within thirty days to a court of competent jurisdiction for an immediate hearing and order suspending the order of the board until the hearing has been completed. The hearing of the application to the court must be upon that notice to the board as the court shall provide. Whether upon application by the board or by the state savings bank or other company, the court has power to and shall adjudicate the question and enter the proper orders and enforce the same.
