SB 951 - Under the act, in a state of emergency the Governor shall authorize the Director of Finance to suspend laws and rules applicable to the division that are reasonable and necessary to safeguard the soundness of financial institutions and coordinate emergency response with financial institutions and emergency responders. The director shall file written waivers, suspensions, actions, and directives in the director's office. Under current law, banks and trust companies may operate under emergency bylaws in certain circumstances . This act allows banks and trust companies to do the same when the legislature or governor declares a state of emergency. On such occasion, the board of directors or president of the bank or trust company shall notify the director of finance of the implementation of emergency bylaws and the status of its emergency response operations.
