Any bank desiring to voluntarily liquidate shall file a plan for liquidation with the commissioner.
(b) The commissioner may examine the bank or compel the bank to file reports with the commissioner during the time the bank is being liquidated. If the commissioner finds at any time during the liquidation period that the bank is not adhering to the approved liquidation plan, the commissioner may take action as authorized by article 18 of chapter 9 of the Kansas Statutes Annotated, and amendments thereto. If the commissioner finds that any deviation from the liquidation plan may be harmful to the depositors and creditors of the institution, the commissioner may appoint a receiver in accordance with procedures provided in article 19 of chapter 9 of the Kansas Statutes Annotated, and amendments thereto.
(c) Upon the completion of the liquidation, the bank shall immediately surrender the bank's certificate of authority to transact a banking business, remove all advertising signs, and notify and make the necessary filings with the secretary of state.
