The Florida Senate

667.007  Supervisory case; emergency conversion, reorganization, merger; consolidation; acquisition of assets.--

(1)  The office may determine that a state or federal savings bank is a supervisory case if it finds that:

(a)  The savings bank is insolvent; or

(b)  The savings bank is imminently insolvent.

Any such finding by the office shall be based upon reports furnished to it by a state or federal regulatory agency or upon other evidence from which it is reasonable to conclude that the savings bank is a supervisory case.

(2)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter or chapter 120, if the office finds that immediate action is necessary to protect the interests of depositors and reduce the potential for claims against the insurance fund, or in order to prevent the probable failure of a state or federal savings bank which is a supervisory case, the office may, with the concurrence of the appropriate federal regulatory agency in the case of any savings bank the deposits of which are federally insured, issue an emergency order authorizing:

(a)  The conversion of such savings bank from a state to a federal charter, or vice versa, without change of business form;

(b)  The reorganization, merger, or consolidation of such state or federal savings bank with another state or federal savings bank;

(c)  The conversion of such state or federal savings bank into a state or federal capital stock savings bank; or

(d)  Any state or federal savings bank to acquire the assets of, and assume the liabilities of, such failing savings bank.
