SECTION 34-28-150. Opening for business.
(1) An association shall open and conduct a general savings and loan business no later than twelve months after the commencement of its corporate existence (Section 34-28-100(5)). The Board may extend the opening date for an additional period on its own motion or at the request of the association, for good cause shown.
(2) At the time as subscriptions for stock in a proposed stock association have been fully paid (and in the case of a mutual association, at the time as the capital required by the Board has been paid in cash to the association in the form of pledged savings accounts meeting the standards specified by regulation issued by the Board), but no later than thirty days prior to intended opening date, the association shall file with the Board a statement containing the name and address of each subscriber and the amount of capital subscribed by each and, showing that the entire capital required by the Board has been unconditionally and fully paid in lawful money and that the funds or assets representing the required capital are held by the association, that a commitment for the insurance of all deposit accounts has been obtained from the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation or any successor or assignee federal agency established for the purpose of insuring savings and other deposit accounts in associations and that all other conditions imposed by the Board pursuant to Section 34-28-100(5) have been satisfied.
(3) If the Board finds that the association has in good faith complied with all the requirements of law, and that the association's deposit accounts are properly insured, it shall promptly issue, in duplicate, under its official seal, a certificate of authorization to transact a general savings and loan business.
(4) Upon opening for business, an association shall have power to engage in a general savings and loan business and to exercise, subject to law and the regulations of the Board, all those incidental powers as may reasonably promote its general savings and loan business.
