Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, a universal bank shall file with the division a written request to exercise a power under sub. (1) . The division shall determine whether the requested power is permitted under sub. (1) . Within 60 days after receiving a request under this subsection, the division shall approve the request, if the power is permitted under sub.
