(2) The department may establish reserve requirements if the federal regulator discontinues reserve requirements. (3) A mutual association whose reserve drops below the legal requirements shall report the matter to the department immediately and as often as the department asks for a report. (4) When the reserve of a mutual association falls below the legal requirements, the mutual association may not increase its loans or discounts except by discounting or purchasing bill of exchange payable at sight or on demand, and the department shall notify a mutual association whose reserve is below the amount required to make good the reserve. (5) In arriving at deposit liabilities with regard to mutual association deposits, the net balance of amounts due to and from other financial institutions must be used as the basis for ascertaining the deposit liability to mutual associations against which reserves are carried.
