The director of the division of finance may enter into cooperative and reciprocal agreements with the federal reserve banks for periodic examination of bank holding companies on a joint or alternating basis, but, except in extraordinary situations, no such agreements may be concluded which would result in a bank holding company being examined more frequently than once every twelve months. The director may accept reports of examination and other exchanges of information from such agencies in lieu of conducting his own examinations and compiling his own reports, and may provide reports of examination and other information to such agencies.

The director of the division of finance shall contract with the parties that charter such entity to obtain safety and soundness authority as a condition for such entity's acquisition of a trust company. To simplify such process:

(1) A trust holding company or a company formed to be a trust holding company which seeks to acquire control of any nondepositary trust company shall file an application with the division of finance;

(2) The director shall determine if the proposed acquisition of a nondepositary trust company by a trust holding company is consistent with the interests of promoting and maintaining sound trust companies;

(4) The director may examine and investigate any trust holding company as appropriate or necessary to carry out the director's duties. The director may enter into cooperative and reciprocal agreements with federal and state regulatory authorities appropriate to such functions and may share reports and information or pursue joint actions or concurrent jurisdiction with federal and state regulatory authorities.
