The purpose of this subchapter is to permit the acquisition by an out-of-state bank holding company, or a subsidiary thereof, of any voting shares of, interest in, or all or substantially all of the assets of, a state assisted bank, notwithstanding any other provision of state law. The General Assembly of the State hereby finds that it is in the interest of the State that the State have the ability to divest its interest in a state assisted bank to an out-of-state bank holding company, and that such ability does not exist unless legislation of the State, as presently required under § 3(d) of the federal Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (12 U.S.C. § 1842(d)), permits out-of-state bank holding companies or their subsidiaries to acquire a state assisted bank.
