Sec. 40. (a) As used in this section, “act” refers to the federal Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009 as it applies to Indiana borrowers.
(b) If the department receives credible evidence from any source that a financial institution that issues to Indiana borrowers an unsecured credit card that is not a debit card, as a card issuer (as defined in 15 U.S.C. 1602(o)) is not in substantial compliance with the act, the director of the department shall send a notice of the evidence by certified mail to the financial institution's chief executive officer. The notice must:
(1) set forth the provisions of IC 5-13-9.5-1(c) and IC 5-13-9.5-1(d);
(2) describe the department's evidence that the financial institution is not in substantial compliance with the act;
(3) describe the consequences under IC 5-13-9.5-1(c) of a finding that the financial institution is not in substantial compliance with the act; and
(4) invite a reply that affirms or disputes the evidence of noncompliance with the act.
If a financial institution disputes the preliminary determination that it is not in substantial compliance with the act, but fails to convince the director of the department of its substantial compliance with the act, the financial institution may, within twenty (20) days of the date of the notice, request a hearing on the determination. If a hearing is requested, the department shall schedule the hearing not earlier than twenty (20) days after the date of the request. If no hearing is requested, the department's determination that the financial institution is not in substantial compliance with the act is final.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in this section, any hearing requested by a financial institution under subsection (b) and the determination by the department are subject to IC 4-21.5-3. Judicial review of the department's final determination may be obtained in accordance with IC 4-21.5-5.
(d) If a financial institution does not contest the determination that it is not in substantial compliance with the act, or the financial institution is determined under subsection (b) to not be in substantial compliance with the act, the department shall immediately notify the chairperson of the board for depositories established under IC 5-13-12 of the determination.
(e) A financial institution that has been determined by the department to not be in substantial compliance with the act may petition the department for a hearing to demonstrate that the financial institution has taken the necessary steps to attain substantial compliance with the act, and to ensure future substantial compliance with the act. The hearing and the determination by the department are subject to IC 4-21.5-3. Judicial review of the department's final determination may be obtained in accordance with IC 4-21.5-5. Upon final determination by the department, or a final judgment in the case of pending judicial review, that the financial institution is in substantial compliance with the act, the department shall immediately notify the chairperson of the board for depositories established under IC 5-13-12 of the determination or judgment.
