A. A private trust company may terminate its status as a private trust company and commence transacting business with the general public. A private trust company desiring to commence transacting business with the general public shall file a notice on a form prescribed by the Commissioner, which shall set forth the name of the private trust company and an acknowledgement that any exemption granted or otherwise applicable to the private trust company pursuant to Section 36 of this act shall cease to apply on the effective date of such notice. The private trust company shall also furnish a copy of the resolution adopted by the board authorizing the private trust company to commence transacting business with the general public and pay the filing fee, if any, prescribed by the Commissioner.
B. The notificant may commence transacting business with the general public on the thirty-first day after the date the Commissioner receives the notice, unless the Commissioner specifies an earlier or later date.
C. The thirty-day period of review may be extended by the Commissioner on determination that the written notice raises issues that require additional information or additional time for analysis. If the period for review is extended, the notificant may commence transacting business with the public only on prior written approval by the Commissioner.
D. The Commissioner may deny approval of the notice of the private trust company to commence transacting business with the general public if the Commissioner finds that the notificant lacks sufficient financial resources to undertake the proposed expansion without adversely affecting its safety or soundness, that the proposed transacting of business with the general public would be contrary to the public interest or if the Commissioner determines that the notificant will not within a reasonable period be in compliance with any provision of this act from which the notificant had been previously exempted pursuant to Section 36 of this act.
