             546      the acquisition by a person other than an individual of voting securities or assets of a depository
             547      institution or a depository institution holding company that are acquired by foreclosure or
             548      otherwise in the ordinary course of collecting a debt previously contracted in good faith if these
             549      voting securities or assets are divested within two years of acquisition. The commissioner may,
             550      upon application, extend the two-year period of divestiture for up to three additional one-year
             551      periods if, in the commissioner's judgment, the extension would not be detrimental to the
             552      public interest. The commissioner may adopt rules to implement the intent of this Subsection
             553      (6).
             554          (7) (a) An out-of-state depository institution without a branch in Utah, or an

             559      for at least five years.
             560          (b) For purposes of Subsection (7)(a), a depository institution chartered solely for the
             561      purpose of acquiring another depository institution is considered to have been in existence for
             562      the same period as the depository institution to be acquired, so long as it does not open for
             563      business at any time before the acquisition.
             564          (c) The commissioner may waive the restriction in Subsection (7)(a) in the case of a
             565      depository institution that is subject to, or is in danger of becoming subject to, supervisory
             566      action under Chapter 2, Possession of Depository Institution by Commissioner, or Chapter 19,
             567      Acquisitions of Failing Repository Institutions or Holding Companies, or, if applicable, the
             568      equivalent provisions of federal law or the law of the institution's home state.
             569          (d) The restriction in Subsection (7)(a) does not apply to an acquisition of, or merger
             570      transaction between, affiliate depository institutions.

             654          Section 13. Section 7-2-1 is amended to read:
             655           7-2-1. Supervisory actions by commissioner -- Grounds -- Mergers or acquisitions
             656      authorized by commissioner -- Possession of business and property taken by

             671      insurer's intention to initiate proceedings to terminate insurance;
             672          (f) the institution or other person has failed to maintain a minimum amount of capital
             673      as required by the department, any state, or the relevant federal regulatory agency;
             674          (g) the institution or other person is a depository institution that has failed or refused to
             675      pay its depositors in accordance with the terms under which the deposits were received, or has
             676      or is about to become insolvent;
             677          (h) the institution or other person or its officers or directors have failed or refused to
             678      comply with the terms of a legally authorized order issued by the commissioner or by any

             679      federal authority or authority of another state having jurisdiction over the institution or other
             680      person;
             681          (i) the institution or other person or its officers or directors have failed or refused, upon
             682      proper demand, to submit its records, books, papers, and affairs for inspection to the

             684          (j) the institution or other person or its officers or directors, after 30 days written
             685      notice, have failed to comply with or have continued to violate this title or any rule or
             686      regulation of the department issued under it;
             687          (k) any person who controls the institution or other person subject to the jurisdiction of
             688      the department has used the control to cause the institution or other person to be or about to be
             689      in an unsafe or unsound condition, to conduct its business in an unauthorized or unsafe manner,
             690      or to violate this title or any rule or regulation of the department issued under it; or
             691          (l) the remedies provided in Section 7-1-307 , 7-1-308 , or 7-1-313 are ineffective or
             692      impracticable to protect the interest of depositors, creditors, or members of the institution or
             693      other person, or to protect the interests of the public.
             694          (2) The commissioner may take any action described in Subsection (3) if:
             695          (a) he finds that:
             696          (i) any of the conditions set forth in Subsection (1) exist with respect to an institution
             697      under the jurisdiction of the department; and
             698          (ii) an order issued pursuant to Section 7-1-307 , 7-1-308 , or 7-1-313 would not
             699      adequately protect the interests of the institution's depositors, creditors, members, or other
             700      interested persons from all dangers presented by the conditions found to exist; or
             701          (b) two-thirds of the voting shares of an institution under the jurisdiction of the

             704      taking or causing to be taken any of the actions described below.
             705          (3) After making the requisite findings or receiving the consenting vote of shareholders
             706      under Subsection (2), the commissioner may:
             707          (a) without taking possession of the institution, authorize, or by order require or give
             708      effect to the acquisition of control of, the merger with, the acquisition of all or a portion of the
             709      assets of, or the assumption of all or a portion of the liabilities of the institution or other person

             710      by any other institution or entity approved or designated by the commissioner in accordance
             711      with Chapter 19, Acquisition of Failing Repository Institutions or Holding Companies; or
             712          (b) take possession of the institution or other person subject to the jurisdiction of the
             713      department with or without a court order if an acquisition of control of, a merger with, an
             714      acquisition of all or a portion of the assets of, or an assumption of all or a portion of the
             715      liabilities of the institution or other person without taking possession does not appear to the
             716      commissioner to be practicable.
             717          (4) Upon taking possession of an institution or the person, the commissioner is vested
             718      by operation of law with the title to and the right to possession of all assets, the business, and
             719      property of the institution or other person subject to court order made under Section 7-2-3 .
             720      While in possession of an institution or other person, the commissioner or any receiver or

             723      of, the merger with, the acquisition of all or a portion of the assets of, or the assumption of all
             724      or a portion of the liabilities of an institution or other person subject to the jurisdiction of the
             725      department, under the provisions of Chapter 19, Acquisition of Failing Repository Institutions
             726      or Holding Companies.
             727          (5) An action of the commissioner under this section may only be enjoined or set aside
             728      upon a finding, after notice and hearing, that the action is arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of
             729      discretion, or otherwise contrary to law.
             730          Section 14. Section 7-2-2 is amended to read:
             731           7-2-2. Jurisdiction of district court -- Supervision of actions of commissioner in
             732      possession -- Authority of commissioner and court.
             733          (1) The district court for the county in which the principal office of the institution or
             734      other person is situated has jurisdiction in the liquidation or reorganization of the institution or
             735      other person of which the commissioner has taken possession under this chapter or Chapter 19,
             736      Acquisition of Failing Repository Institutions or Holding Companies. As used in this chapter,
             737      "court" means the court given jurisdiction by this provision.
             738          (2) Before taking possession of an institution or other person under his jurisdiction, or
             739      within a reasonable time after taking possession of an institution or other person without court
             740      order, as provided in this chapter, the commissioner shall cause to be commenced in the

             741      appropriate district court, an action to provide the court supervisory jurisdiction to review the
             742      actions of the commissioner.
             743          (3) The actions of the commissioner are subject to review of the court. The court has
             744      jurisdiction to hear all objections to the actions of the commissioner and may rule upon all
             745      motions and actions coming before it. Standing to seek review of any action of the
             746      commissioner or any receiver or liquidator appointed by him is limited to persons whose rights,
             747      claims, or interests in the institution would be adversely affected by the action.
             748          (4) The authority of the commissioner under this chapter is of an administrative and
             749      not judicial receivership. The court may not overrule a determination or decision of the
             750      commissioner if it is not arbitrary, capricious, fraudulent, or contrary to law. If the court
             751      overrules an action of the commissioner, the matter shall be remanded to the commissioner for
             752      a new determination by him, and the new determination shall be subject to court review.
             753          Section 15. Section 7-2-12 is amended to read:
             754           7-2-12. Powers of commissioner in possession -- Sale of assets -- Postpossession
             755      financing -- New deposit instruments -- Executory contracts -- Transfer of property --
             756      Avoidance of transfers -- Avoidable preferences -- Setoff.
             757          (1) Upon taking possession of the institution, the commissioner may do all things
             758      necessary to preserve its assets and business, and shall rehabilitate, reorganize, or liquidate the
             759      affairs of the institution in a manner he determines to be in the best interests of the institution's
             760      depositors and creditors. Any such determination by the commissioner may not be overruled
             761      by a reviewing court unless it is found to be arbitrary, capricious, fraudulent, or contrary to law.
             762      In the event of a liquidation, he shall collect all debts due and claims belonging to it, and may
             763      compromise all bad or doubtful debts. He may sell, upon terms he may determine, any or all of
             764      the property of the institution for cash or other consideration. The commissioner shall give
             765      such notice as the court may direct to the institution of the time and place of hearing upon an
             766      application to the court for approval of the sale. The commissioner shall execute and deliver to
             767      the purchaser of any property of the institution sold by him those deeds or instruments
             768      necessary to evidence the passing of title.
             769          (2) With approval of the court and upon terms and with priority determined by the
             770      court, the commissioner may borrow money and issue evidence of indebtedness. To secure
             771      repayment of the indebtedness, he may mortgage, pledge, transfer in trust, or hypothecate any

             772      or all of the property of the institution superior to any charge on the property for expenses of
             773      the proceeding as provided in Section 7-2-14 . These loans may be obtained for the purpose of
             774      facilitating liquidation, protecting or preserving the assets in the charge of the commissioner,
             775      expediting the making of distributions to depositors and other claimants, aiding in the
             776      reopening or reorganization of the institution or its merger or consolidation with another
             777      institution, or the sale of all of its assets. Neither the commissioner nor any special deputy or
             778      other person lawfully in charge of the affairs of the institution is under any personal obligation
             779      to repay those loans. The commissioner may take any action necessary or proper to
             780      consummate the loan and to provide for its repayment and to give bond when required for the
             781      faithful performance of all undertakings in connection with it. The commissioner or special
             782      deputy shall make application to the court for approval of any loan proposed under this section.
             783      Notice of hearing upon the application shall be given as the court directs. At the hearing upon
             784      the application any stockholder or shareholder of the institution or any depositor or other
             785      creditor of the institution may appear and be heard on the application. Prior to the obtaining of
             786      a court order, the commissioner or special deputy in charge of the affairs of the institution may
             787      make application or negotiate for the loan or loans subject to the obtaining of the court order.
             788          (3) With the approval of the court pursuant to a plan of reorganization or liquidation
             789      under Section 7-2-18 , the commissioner may provide for depositors to receive new deposit
             790      instruments from a depository institution that purchases or receives some or all of the assets of
             791      the institution in the possession of the commissioner. All new deposit instruments issued by
             792      the acquiring depository institution may, in accordance with the terms of the plan of
             793      reorganization or liquidation, be subject to different amounts, terms, and interest rates than the
             794      original deposit instruments of the institution in the possession of the commissioner. All
             795      deposit instruments issued by the acquiring institution shall be considered new deposit
             796      obligations of the acquiring institution. The original deposit instruments issued by the
             797      institution in the possession of the commissioner are not liabilities of the acquiring institution,
             798      unless assumed by the acquiring institution. Unpaid claims of depositors against the institution
             799      in the possession of the commissioner continue, and may be provided for in the plan of
             800      reorganization or liquidation.
             801          (4) The commissioner, after taking possession of any institution or other person subject
             802      to the jurisdiction of the department, may terminate any executory contract, including standby

             803      letters of credit, unexpired leases and unexpired employment contracts, to which the institution
             804      or other person is a party. If the termination of an executory contract or unexpired lease
             805      constitutes a breach of the contract or lease, the date of the breach is the date on which the
             806      commissioner took possession of the institution. Claims for damages for breach of an
             807      executory contract shall be filed within 30 days of receipt of notice of the termination, and if
             808      allowed, shall be paid in the same manner as all other allowable claims of the same priority out
             809      of the assets of the institution available to pay claims.
             810          (5) With approval of the court and upon a showing by the commissioner that it is in the
             811      best interests of the depositors and creditors, the commissioner may transfer property on
             812      account of an indebtedness incurred by the institution prior to the date of the taking.
             813          (6) (a) The commissioner may avoid any transfer of any interest of the institution in
             814      property or any obligation incurred by the institution that is void or voidable by a creditor under
             815      Title 25, Chapter 6, Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act.
             816          (b) The commissioner may avoid any transfer of any interest in real property of the
             817      institution that is void as against or voidable by a subsequent purchaser in good faith and for a
             818      valuable consideration of the same real property or any portion thereof who has duly recorded
             819      his conveyance at the time possession of the institution is taken, whether or not such a
             820      purchaser exists.
             821          (c) The commissioner may avoid any transfer of any interest in property of the
             822      institution or any obligation incurred by the institution that is invalid or void as against, or is
             823      voidable by a creditor that extends credit to the institution at the time possession of the
             824      institution is taken by the commissioner, and that obtains, at such time and with respect to such
             825      credit, a judgment lien or a lien by attachment, levy, execution, garnishment, or other judicial
             826      lien on the property involved, whether or not such a creditor exists.
             827          (d) The right of the commissioner under Subsections (6)(b) and (c) to avoid any
             828      transfer of any interest in property of the institution shall be unaffected by and without regard
             829      to any knowledge of the commissioner or of any creditor of the institution.
             830          (e) "Transfer" means every mode, direct or indirect, absolute or conditional, voluntary
             831      or involuntary, or disposing of or parting with property or with an interest in property,
             832      including retention of title as a security interest.
             833          (f) The commissioner may avoid and recover any payment or other transfer of any

             834      interest in property of the institution to or for the benefit of a creditor, for or on account of an
             835      antecedent debt owed by the institution before the transfer was made if the creditor at the time
             836      of such transfer had reasonable cause to believe that the institution was insolvent, and if the
             837      payment or other transfer will allow the creditor to obtain a greater percentage of his debt than
             838      he would be entitled to under the provisions of Section 7-2-15 . For the purposes of this
             839      subsection:
             840          (i) antecedent debt does not include earned wages and salaries and other operating
             841      expenses incurred and paid in the normal course of business;
             842          (ii) a transfer of any interest in real property is deemed to have been made or suffered
             843      when it became so far perfected that a subsequent good faith purchaser of the property from the
             844      institution for a valuable consideration could not acquire an interest superior to the transferee;
             845      and
             846          (iii) a transfer of property other than real property is deemed to have been made or
             847      suffered when it became so far perfected that a creditor on a simple contract could not acquire a
             848      lien by attachment, levy, execution, garnishment, or other judicial lien superior to the interest
             849      of the transferee.
             850          (g) For purposes of this section, "date of possession" means the earlier of the date the
             851      commissioner takes possession of a financial institution under Title 7, Chapter 2, Possession of
             852      Depository Institution by Commissioner, or the date when the commissioner enters an order
             853      suspending payments to depositors and other creditors under Section 7-2-19 .
             854          (7) (a) With or without the prior approval of the court, the commissioner or any federal
             855      deposit insurance agency appointed by him as receiver or liquidator of a depository institution
             856      closed by the commissioner under the provisions of this chapter may setoff against the deposits
             857      or other liabilities of the institution any debts or other obligations of the depositor or claimant
             858      due and owing to the institution. The amount of any setoff against the liabilities of the
             859      institution shall be no greater than the amount the depositor or claimant would receive pursuant
             860      to Section 7-2-15 after final liquidation of the institution. When the liquidation value of a
             861      depositor's or claimant's claim against the institution will or may be less than the full amount of
             862      the claim, setoff may be made prior to final liquidation if the commissioner or any receiver or
             863      liquidator appointed by him can reasonably estimate the liquidation value of the claim, and the
             864      court, after notice and opportunity for hearing, approves the estimate for purposes of making

             865      the setoff. If the right of setoff is exercised, the commissioner or any receiver or liquidator
             866      appointed by him shall give written notice to the depositor or claimant of the amount setoff.
             867          (b) The existence and amount of a debtor or creditor relationship or both, between the
             868      institution and its depositor or claimant and the right to the proceeds in a deposit account shall
             869      be determined solely by the books and records of the institution.
             870          (c) Any contract purporting to affect the right of setoff shall be in writing and signed by
             871      the depositor-debtor and an authorized officer of the institution and be maintained as a part of
             872      the records of the institution.
             873          (d) Any claim that a deposit account is a special account not subject to setoff because it
             874      was maintained for a specific purpose or to satisfy a particular obligation other than satisfaction
             875      of or as security for an indebtedness to the institution or that the right to the deposit actually
             876      belongs to a third party does not affect the right to setoff of the commissioner or any receiver or
             877      liquidator appointed by him unless the special nature of the account is clearly shown in the
             878      books and records of the institution.
             879          (e) In the absence of any other instrument in writing, the terms and provisions of the
             880      signature card applicable to a particular account in effect at the time the commissioner takes
             881      possession of the institution shall be determinative of the right of setoff by the commissioner or
             882      any receiver or liquidator appointed by him.
             883          (f) Knowledge of the institution or of any director, officer, or employee of the
             884      institution that the nature of the account is other than as shown in the books and records of the
             885      institution does not affect the right of setoff by the commissioner or any receiver or liquidator
             886      appointed by him.
             887          (g) The liability of the commissioner or any receiver or liquidator appointed by him for
             888      exercising a right of setoff other than as authorized by this section shall be only to a person
             889      who establishes by the procedure set forth in Section 7-2-6 that his interest in the account is
             890      superior to that of the person whose debt to the institution was setoff against the account. The
             891      amount of any such liability shall be no greater than the amount of the setoff and neither the
             892      commissioner or any receiver or liquidator appointed by him shall be liable for any action taken
             893      under this section unless the action taken is determined by the court to be arbitrary or
             894      capricious.
             895          Section 16. Section 7-3-1 is amended to read:

             896           7-3-1. Application of chapter.
             897          This chapter applies to all banks organized under the laws of this state, to all other
             898      banks doing business in this state as permitted by the laws and Constitution of the United
             899      States, and to all persons conducting banking business in this state except as provided in
             900      Chapter 1, General Provisions.

             905      guardian, assignee, receiver, depositary, or trustee under order or judgment of any court or by
             906      authority of any law of this state or as trustee for any purpose permitted by law or otherwise
             907      engage in the trust business in this state, unless and until it has obtained from the commissioner
             908      a permit to act under this chapter. This provision does not apply to any bank or other
             909      corporation authorized to engage and lawfully engaged in the trust business in this state before
             910      July 1, 1981.
             911          (2) Nothing in this chapter prohibits:
             912          (a) any corporation organized under Title 16, Chapter 6a [or 10a], Utah Revised
             913      Nonprofit Corporation Act, or Chapter 10a, Utah Revised Business Corporation Act, from
             914      acting as trustee of any employee benefit trust established for the employees of the corporation
             915      or the employees of one or more other corporations affiliated with the corporation;
             916          (b) any corporation organized under Title 16, Chapter 6a, Utah Revised Nonprofit
             917      Corporation Act, and owned or controlled by a charitable, benevolent, eleemosynary, or
             918      religious organization from acting as a trustee for that organization or members of that
             919      organization but not offering trust services to the general public;

             922      holding in a fiduciary capacity the controlling shares of another corporation but not offering
             923      trust services to the general public; or
             924          (d) any depository institution from holding in an agency or fiduciary capacity
             925      individual retirement accounts or Keogh plan accounts established under Section 401(a) or
             926      408(a) of Title 26 of the United States Code.

             927          Section 18. Section 7-5-6 is amended to read:
             928           7-5-6. Confidentiality of communications and writings concerning trust -- Actions
             929      to protect property or authorized under probate laws not precluded.
             930          Any trust company exercising the powers and performing the duties described in this
             931      chapter shall keep inviolate all communications and writings made to or by that trust company
             932      relating to the existence, condition, management or administration of any agency or fiduciary
             933      account confided to it and no creditor or stockholder of any such trust company shall be
             934      entitled to disclosure or knowledge of any such communication or writing, except that the
             935      directors, president, vice president, manager, treasurer, and trust officers, and any employees
             936      assigned to work on the trust business, and the attorney or auditor employed by it shall be
             937      entitled to knowledge of any such communication or writing and except that in any suit or
             938      proceeding relating to the existence, condition, management or administration of the account,
             939      the court in which the suit is pending may require disclosure of any such communication or
             940      writing. A trust company is not, however, precluded from filing an action in court to protect
             941      trust account property or as authorized under Title 75, Utah Uniform Probate Code.
             942          Section 19. Section 7-5-7 is amended to read:
             943           7-5-7. Management and investment of trust funds.
             944          (1) Funds received or held by any trust company as agent or fiduciary, whether for
             945      investment or distribution, shall be invested or distributed as soon as practicable as authorized
             946      under the instrument creating the account and may not be held uninvested any longer than is
             947      reasonably necessary.
             948          (2) If the instrument creating an agency or fiduciary account contains provisions
             949      authorizing the trust company, its officers, or its directors to exercise their discretion in the
             950      matter of investments, funds held in the trust account under that instrument may be invested
             951      only in those classes of securities which are approved by the directors of the trust company or a
             952      committee of directors appointed for that purpose. If a trust company acts in any agency or
             953      fiduciary capacity under appointment by a court of competent jurisdiction, it shall make and
             954      account for all investments according to the provisions of Title 75, Utah Uniform Probate
             955      Code, unless the underlying instrument provides otherwise.
             956          (3) (a) Funds received or held as agent or fiduciary by any trust company which is also
             957      a depository institution, whether for investment or distribution, may be deposited in the

             958      commercial department or savings department of that trust company to the credit of its trust
             959      department. Whenever the funds so deposited in a fiduciary or managing agency account
             960      exceed the amount of federal deposit insurance applicable to that account, the trust company
             961      shall deliver to the trust department or put under its control collateral security as outlined in
             962      Regulation 9.10 of the Comptroller of the Currency or in Regulation 550.8 of the Office of
             963      Thrift Supervision, as amended. However, if the instrument creating such a fiduciary or
             964      managing agency account expressly provides that funds may be deposited to the commercial or
             965      savings department of the trust company, then the funds may be so deposited without setting
             966      aside collateral securities as required under this section and the deposits in the event of
             967      insolvency of any such trust company shall be treated as other general deposits are treated. A
             968      trust company which deposits trust funds in its commercial or savings department shall be
             969      liable for interest on the deposits only at the rates, if any, paid by the trust company on deposits
             970      of like kind not made to the credit of its trust department.
             971          (b) Funds received or held as agent or fiduciary by a trust company, whether for
             972      investment or distribution, may be deposited in an affiliated depository institution. Whenever
             973      the funds so deposited in a fiduciary or managing agency account exceed the amount of federal
             974      deposit insurance applicable to that account, the depository institution shall deliver to the trust
             975      company or put under its control collateral security as outlined in Regulation 9.10 of the
             976      Comptroller of the Currency or in Regulation 550.8 of the Office of Thrift Supervision as
             977      amended. However, if the instrument creating the fiduciary or managing agency account
             978      expressly permits funds to be deposited in the affiliated depository institution, the funds may be
             979      so deposited without setting aside collateral securities as required under this section and
             980      deposits in the event of insolvency of the depository institution shall be treated as other general
             981      deposits are treated. A trust company which deposits trust funds in an affiliated depository
             982      institution is liable for interest on the deposits only at the rates, if any, paid by the depository
             983      institution on deposits of like kind.
             984          (4) In carrying out all aspects of its trust business, a trust company shall have all the
             985      powers, privileges, and duties as set forth in Sections 75-7-813 and 75-7-814 with respect to
             986      trustees, whether or not the trust company is acting as a trustee as defined in Title 75, Utah
             987      Uniform Probate Code.
             988          (5) Nothing in this section may alter, amend, or limit the powers of a trust company

             989      acting in a fiduciary capacity as specified in the particular instrument or order creating the
             990      fiduciary relationship.
             991          Section 20. Section 7-5-8 is amended to read:
             992           7-5-8. Segregation of trust assets -- Books and records required -- Examination --
             993      Trust property not subject to claims or debts against trust company.
             994          A trust company exercising the powers to act as an agent or fiduciary under this chapter
             995      shall segregate all assets held in any agency or fiduciary capacity from the general assets of the
             996      company and shall keep a separate set of books and records showing in proper detail all
             997      transactions engaged in under authority of this chapter. These books and records shall be open
             998      to inspection by the commissioner and shall be examined by him or by examiners appointed by
             999      him as provided in Chapter 1, General Provisions, or examined by other appropriate regulating
             1000      agencies or both. Property held in an agency or fiduciary capacity by a trust company is not
             1001      subject to claims or debts against the trust company.
             1002          Section 21. Section 7-5-11 is amended to read:
             1003           7-5-11. Self-dealing with trust property -- Own stock as trust property -- Policies
             1004      for dealing with trust securities.

             1006      authorized under the instrument creating the relationship, a trust company may not invest funds
             1007      held as an agent or fiduciary in stock or obligations of, or with such funds acquire property
             1008      from, the trust company or any of its directors, officers or employees, nor shall a trust company
             1009      sell property held as an agent or fiduciary to the company or to any of its directors, officers, or
             1010      employees.
             1011          (2) A trust company may retain and vote stock of the trust company or of any of its
             1012      affiliates received by it as assets of any trust account or in any other fiduciary relationship of
             1013      which it is appointed agent or fiduciary, unless the instrument creating the relationship
             1014      otherwise provides.
             1015          (3) Every trust company shall adopt written policies and procedures regarding
             1016      decisions or recommendations to purchase or sell any security to facilitate compliance with
             1017      federal and state securities laws. These policies and procedures, in particular, shall prohibit the
             1018      trust company from using material inside information in connection with any decision or
             1019      recommendation to purchase or sell any security.

             1020          Section 22. Section 7-5-15 is amended to read:
             1021           7-5-15. Assets of trust company in possession of the commissioner.
             1022          With respect to a trust company in the possession of the commissioner under Chapter 2,
             1023      Possession of Depository Institution by Commissioner, notwithstanding any law to the
             1024      contrary, the assets held by the trust company in a fiduciary capacity as a part of its trust
             1025      business, as defined in Section 7-5-1 , are not subject to the claims of any secured or unsecured
             1026      creditor of the trust company.
             1027          Section 23. Section 7-9-25 is amended to read:
             1028           7-9-25. Shares -- Number unlimited -- Subscription and payment -- Par value --
             1029      Ownership required for membership -- Dormant accounts.
             1030          (1) The capital of the credit union shall be unlimited in amount.
             1031          (2) Shares of the credit union may be subscribed and paid for in cash or its equivalent
             1032      in a manner prescribed in the bylaws.
             1033          (3) The par value of each share of a credit union shall be determined by the board of
             1034      directors in multiples of $5 as prescribed in the bylaws.
             1035          (4) Each member of the credit union shall subscribe to at least one share and pay the
             1036      initial installment thereon. The par value of the share shall be paid for within six months.
             1037          (5) The board of directors may close a member's account when the share par value is
             1038      not paid within the required period or the par value is not maintained. Notice in writing shall be
             1039      mailed to the member at the last known address and shall contain a statement that the member
             1040      may increase payment or voluntarily close the account within 60 days of receipt of the notice.
             1041          (6) When a member's account becomes dormant or is reasonably presumed to be

             1043      resolution of the board of directors may close the account and transfer the credits of the account
             1044      to an account for unclaimed shares. Thereafter the credit union may not pay dividends or
             1045      interest on the account, as provided in the bylaws, until the funds in the account escheat to the
             1046      state of Utah. Prior to transferring the member's dormant and abandoned account to the credit
             1047      union unclaimed shares account, the credit union shall mail a written notice to the member at
             1048      the member's last known address stating that this action will be taken within 30 days of the date
             1049      of the notice.
             1050          Section 24. Section 7-9-39.5 is amended to read:

             1065      retention time prescribed by the rules.
             1066          (4) A photostatic or photographic reproduction of any credit union records shall be
             1067      admissible as evidence of transactions with the credit union.

             1074      may not be required to obtain federal insurance on shares and deposits if:
             1075          (a) the commissioner approves the credit union's election not to obtain federal
             1076      insurance on shares and deposits;
             1077          (b) as security for the shares and deposits, the credit union maintains securities:
