(c) Any person not transacting the business of an industrial loan company prior to the effective date of this section, who thereafter commences business under the provisions of this division, shall, upon commencement of its business, participate as a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.(d) Thrift Guaranty Corporation shall have the power to seek insurance, guarantee, or surety, with an insurer or surety, or guarantor authorized to transact business in this state. The insurance shall be subject to the approval of the commissioner after consultation with the Insurance Commissioner. It is the intent of the Legislature to permit Thrift Guaranty Corporation to seek insurance and Thrift Guaranty Corporation’s insurer to seek reinsurance. Thrift Guaranty Corporation shall remain in existence after July 1, 1990, to assist in the winding up, liquidation, or merger of industrial loan companies unable to comply with the requirements of subdivision (b) by that date. Thrift Guaranty Corporation shall continue to guarantee outstanding thrift obligations sold and issued prior to July 1, 1990, by an industrial loan company which has not complied with the requirements of subdivision (b) by July 1, 1990, until all outstanding thrift obligations have been redeemed by the issuer, a successor to the issuer in compliance with the requirements of subdivision (b), or Thrift Guaranty Corporation. (e) In addition to any other provision of this section, if during that period of time ending July 1, 1990, the United States Congress or the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System adopt or amend a law or regulations which pertain to an industrial loan company applying for and obtaining membership in the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the new federal law or regulations prevent an industrial loan company from obtaining Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage solely because the company’s holding company status prevents Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation membership, a successor to the Thrift Guaranty Corporation approved by the commissioner, or some other institutional mechanism approved by the commissioner, which obtains insurance in accordance with this subdivision, may continue to discharge its function so long as the insurance remains in effect.(f) Within one year of the effective date of the act which adds this section, and annually thereafter until July 1, 1990, the commissioner shall report to the Legislature on the following:(1) The progress of Thrift Guaranty Corporation in obtaining reinsurance.(2) The progress of licensees in converting to coverage by an instrumentality of the United States government or by a private insurer, surety, or guarantor. (3) Recommendations for additional legislation if, in the commissioner’s opinion, additional legislation would be desirable to encourage industrial loan companies to seek coverage for investment certificates from sources other than Thrift Guaranty Corporation.The commissioner shall submit special reports on these matters as may be required by the circumstances.(Amended by Stats. 1987, Ch. 787, Sec. 5.)
