A savings bank shall immediately notify the Commissioner of any change or proposed change in ownership of the stock of the savings bank which would result in any person, including a business trust, obtaining 5 percent or more of the outstanding capital stock of the savings bank. 2. An application must be submitted to the Commissioner, pursuant to NRS 673.080 , by a person who acquires: (a) At least 25 percent of the outstanding stock of the savings bank; or (b) Any outstanding stock of a savings bank if the change will result in a change in the control of the savings bank.

If the Commissioner denies the application, he or she may forbid the applicant from participating in the business of the savings bank. 3. The savings bank with which the applicant is affiliated shall pay such a portion of the cost of the investigation as the Commissioner requires.

A savings bank may submit a written request to the Commissioner to waive an investigation pursuant to subsection 2. The Commissioner may grant a waiver if the applicant has undergone a similar investigation by a state or federal agency in connection with the licensing of or his or her employment with a financial institution.
