§ 1710 Foreign Bank Control Definitions
This law explains some words used for foreign banks that aren't insured, like who is considered a 'controlling person', who is an 'executive officer', and what a 'license' means.
A foreign bank from another country wants to open a branch in California and needs permission to do so.
Because the bank isn’t insured, it must get a license. The bank’s top manager, who makes big decisions, is called an 'executive officer', and anyone who can control the bank is a 'controlling person'. The bank gets a 'license' that lets it keep that branch open.
