California Code, Financial Code - FIN § 1135

If the commissioner finds that the shareholders' equity of a bank is not adequate or that the making by a bank or by any majority-owned subsidiary of a bank of a distribution to the shareholders of the bank would be unsafe or unsound for the bank, the commissioner may order the bank and its majority-owned subsidiaries not to make any distribution to the shareholders of the bank. In addition to the order authorized by this section, the commissioner may levy a civil penalty against the bank pursuant to Section 329.
