(a) An exempt banking company or exempt investment company shall be subject to regulation, investigation and examination by the Banking Commissioner as reasonably necessary to enable the commissioner to determine if the exempt banking company or investment company is an exempt company and limits its activities to exempt activities. In any investigation, examination or other proceeding under sections 32-530 to 32-540, inclusive, the Banking Commissioner shall have the authority provided in section 36a-17. The Banking Commissioner may adopt regulations in accordance with the provisions of chapter 54 1 to implement the provisions of this section. Such regulations may include provisions for determination of the status of a company as an exempt company and revocation of such status in accordance with section 32-537. Such regulations and all investigative, enforcement and examination activities shall be consistent with the confidentiality provisions of section 32-537 and shall not impose requirements on the exempt banking company or investment company except to the extent necessary to enable the commissioner to verify the company's status as an exempt company. Such regulations may further provide for the assessment and collection of fees from exempt banking companies and exempt investment companies sufficient, in the commissioner's judgment, to meet the expenses of the Department of Banking in carrying out its responsibilities under this section. If the commissioner finds that an exempt banking company or exempt investment company holding a certificate under section 32-532 has engaged in, is engaging in or is about to engage in activities that are not exempt activities or is about to violate any regulation adopted or order issued by the commissioner, the commissioner may issue a cease and desist order under section 36a-52. If the commissioner finds that an exempt company has (1) intentionally engaged in activities that are not exempt activities, or (2) engaged in a pattern of conduct demonstrating reckless indifference by engaging in activities that are not exempt activities, the commissioner may bring an action in the superior court for the judicial district of Hartford to revoke the certificate filed under section 32-532. The commissioner shall not be required to post a bond with the court.
(b) Unless otherwise specifically provided in sections 32-530 to 32-540, inclusive, an exempt banking company or investment company shall be treated as if its exempt activities were being conducted from offices located outside of the United States.
