(a) Whenever any court, upon the initiation of the department or other person entitled by law to institute such proceedings, determines that a conservator should be appointed, for any reason whatsoever, it shall appoint the department as conservator. Except as provided in subsection (c) of this Code section, such court shall appoint only the department as conservator of a credit union.
(b) When appointed conservator by a court, the department shall serve in the same manner and with the same limitations and shall have the same rights, powers, and duties as if it were to become conservator without appointment by a court pursuant to Code Section 7-1-640. No court shall impose upon the department as conservator any duties or restrictions in conflict with this chapter.
(c)
(1) In any proceeding for the appointment of a conservator of a credit union whose shares are insured by a public body of the United States, the court may, upon the recommendation of the department, whether or not the department is a party, appoint such public body as conservator.
(2) If a public body accepts the appointment, it shall have all the rights, powers, and duties of the department as conservator under this chapter and all the rights, powers, and duties as conferred by other applicable law.
(3) The posting of a bond shall not be required when a public body acts as conservator.
