CT Gen Stat § 36a-266 (2012) What's This?

A Connecticut bank may invest its assets in loans, the proceeds of which are to be used solely for the repair or reconstruction of property damaged as a result of an emergency, upon such terms and conditions and for such period as the commissioner may prescribe, provided such terms and conditions appear to the commissioner to be in the best interests of the public. An emergency for purposes of this section means conditions arising from damage to housing or business as a result of a local catastrophe of a type not ordinarily covered by hazard insurance and is deemed to be in existence upon proclamation by the Governor.
