Iowa Code Title XIII. Commerce [Chs. 505-554D] § 524.1304. Voluntary dissolution--approval

1. Within ninety days after acceptance of the application for processing, the superintendent shall approve or disapprove the application for voluntary dissolution on the basis of the superintendent's investigation.  As a condition of receiving the decision of the superintendent with respect to the application, the applying state bank shall reimburse the superintendent for all expenses incurred by the superintendent in connection with the application.  The superintendent shall give to the applying state bank written notice of the superintendent's decision.  The decision of the superintendent shall be subject to judicial review pursuant to chapter 17A.

2. Upon approval of the plan of voluntary dissolution by the superintendent, the superintendent shall file with the secretary of state articles of dissolution prepared by the applicant in conformance with section 524.1304A.  Upon filing of the articles of dissolution with the secretary of state, the state bank shall cease to accept deposits or carry on its business, except insofar as may be necessary for the proper winding up of the business of the state bank in accordance with the approved plan of dissolution.

3. If applicable state or federal laws require approval by an appropriate state or federal agency, the superintendent may withhold delivery of the approved articles of dissolution until the superintendent receives notice of the decision of such agency.  If the final approval of the agency is not given within six months of the superintendent's approval, then the superintendent shall notify the applying state bank that the approval of the superintendent has been rescinded for that reason.
