Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
In the event of a default or insolvency of a public depository,
the State Treasurer shall implement the following procedures:
1.  In cooperation with the State Department of Banking and
other regulatory officials, the State Treasurer shall ascertain the
amount of public funds on deposit at the defaulting institution and
the amount of deposit insurance applicable to such deposit.
2.  The potential loss to the state shall be calculated by the
State Treasurer.  The loss to the state shall be satisfied, insofar
as possible, first through any applicable deposit insurance and then
through the sale of securities pledged, or through the proceeds of
collateral instruments pledged, by the defaulting depository
institution.  Such sales shall be conducted by the State Treasurer.
3.  The securities, bonds or other forms of collateral shall
become forfeited to and become the property of the state.  If the
securities, bonds or other forms of collateral are valued at less
than the amount of principal and interest due to the state plus the
cost of the ensuing sale, the securities, bonds and other forms of
collateral shall be sold by the State Treasurer, and the State
Treasurer shall be entitled to recover from the financial
institution such balances with costs and attorney's fees.  If the
market value of the securities, bonds or other forms of collateral
exceeds the principal and interest due to the state plus the cost of
the ensuing sale, the securities, bonds and other forms of
collateral may be sold by the State Treasurer and the excess of the
proceeds shall be returned to the pledging financial institution or
its receiver, without further process of law.
