(C) Except as otherwise provided in division (D) of this section, an institution is ineligible to become a public depository under this chapter or to have active, interim, or inactive deposits awarded, placed, purchased, made, or designated pursuant to this chapter, if the institution is party to an active prompt corrective action directive.
