• (a) In addition to universal financial institutions authorized under subchapters 1-5 of
  this chapter and under chapter 203 of this title, special purpose financial institutions
  may be established in this State, subject to the conditions and limitations imposed
  under this subchapter. (b) Any person who, directly or indirectly, controls a special purpose financial institution
  established under this subchapter shall be subject to the supervision of the Commissioner,
  unless that person is a bank holding company regulated by the Federal Reserve Board
  or savings and loan holding company regulated by the director of the Office of Thrift
  Supervision. In exercising the supervisory powers under this subchapter, the Commissioner
  may require such examination and reports, including copies of reports filed with federal
  regulatory agencies, of the special purpose financial institution and any person that
  controls it as the Commissioner deems necessary to protect the interests of depositors,
  borrowers, or other parties in interest. (c) Any material change in a business plan by a special purpose financial institution
  authorized to do business under this subchapter shall be submitted to the Commissioner
  for prior approval, unless the provisions of this title require the financial institution
  to file an application with the Commissioner. (Added 1999, No. 153 (Adj. Sess.), § 2, eff. Jan. 1, 2001.)
