Section 30B.38.070. Enforcement.

(1) Consistent with the Washington administrative procedure act, chapter 34.05 RCW, and in the manner provided for enforcement action against a state trust company under this title, after notice and opportunity for hearing, the director may determine an out-of-state trust institution engaging in trust business in this state is in violation of any provision of the laws of this state or is operating in an unsafe and unsound manner.

(2) The director shall have the authority to take all such enforcement actions as he or she would be empowered to take if the out-of-state trust institution were a state trust company, including but not limited to issuing an order temporarily or permanently prohibiting the out-of-state trust institution from engaging in trust business in this state.

(3) The director may make a written finding that an out-of-state trust institution engaging in or proposing to engage in a trust business in this state does not meet the requirements for engaging in trust business in this state pursuant to this chapter or RCW 30B.72.010, which finding shall be effective on the date of issuance or such other date as the director shall determine.

(4) In cases involving extraordinary circumstances requiring immediate action, the director may issue a temporary order without advance notice or opportunity for hearing, subject to the out-of-state trust institution's right to petition for judicial review in the same manner as a state trust company under this title.

(5) The director will give notice to the home state regulator of each enforcement action taken against an out-of-state trust institution and, to the extent practicable, will consult and cooperate with the home state regulator in pursuing and resolving such enforcement action.
