Sec. 24. (a) To the extent consistent with subsection (b), the department may make the examinations of any branch established and maintained in Indiana pursuant to this chapter by an out-of-state state bank as the department may consider necessary to determine whether the branch is being operated in compliance with the laws of Indiana and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices. The provisions of IC 28-11-3 shall apply to such examinations.
(b) The department may enter into cooperative, coordinating, and information-sharing agreements with any organization enumerated in IC 28-11-3-3 with respect to the periodic examination or other supervision of:
(1) any branch in Indiana of an out-of-state state bank; or
(2) any branch of an Indiana state bank in any host state;
and the department may accept the organization's reports of examination and reports of investigation instead of conducting its own examinations or investigations.
(c) The department may enter into agreements with any financial institution supervisory agency that has concurrent jurisdiction over an Indiana state bank or an out-of-state state bank operating a branch in Indiana pursuant to this chapter to:
(1) engage the services of such agency's examiners at a reasonable rate of compensation; or

Any such agreement shall be entered into under IC 36-1-7.
(d) The department may enter into joint examinations or joint enforcement actions with other bank supervisory agencies having concurrent jurisdiction over any branch established and maintained in Indiana of an out-of-state state bank or any branch established and maintained by an Indiana state bank in any host state.

In the case of an out-of-state state bank, the department shall recognize:
(1) the exclusive authority of the home state regulator over corporate governance matters; and
(2) the primary responsibility of the home state regulator with respect to safety and soundness matters.
(e) Each out-of-state state bank that maintains one (1) or more branches in Indiana is subject to the provisions of IC 28-11-3-5. The fees may be shared with other financial institution supervisory agencies or any organization affiliated with or representing one (1) or more bank supervisory agencies in accordance with agreements between those agencies and the department.
