(1) The banking board has the power to designate a person to act as a hearing officer to conduct any public hearing authorized or required by this code except in the case of charter applications that have been timely protested pursuant to the rules of the banking board. The banking board may determine the qualifications required for a person to be designated pursuant to this subsection (1) based upon the education and experience required for the particular hearing. Such person may, but need not be, an administrative law judge serving pursuant to section 24-30-1003, C.R.S.

(2) Any such hearing officer shall have the powers of a hearing officer prescribed in section 24-4-105, C.R.S.

(3) After the conclusion of a hearing, the hearing officer shall prepare written findings and recommendations based on the hearing and shall certify such findings and recommendations to the banking board and to each party. If the banking board does not affirm, modify, reverse, remand for further findings, or vacate such written recommendations within sixty days after receipt of the recommendations, the same shall be deemed the determination and order of the banking board. The banking board may extend such sixty-day period by no more than thirty additional days.
