(a) The commissioner, when conducting examinations under Section 500, 14250, 16150, or 16700, shall examine a licensee that maintains a correspondent account or payable-through account for compliance with the federal Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act of 2010 (Public Law 111-195), associated federal regulations, and any related presidential executive orders. If the commissioner finds that a licensee is in violation, the commissioner may bring an action in accordance with Section 566, 14302, 16200, or 16900, and shall forward evidence of the violation to the United States Department of the Treasury.

(b) This section shall become inoperative if both of the following conditions occur:
(1) Iran is removed from the United States Department of State’s list of countries that have been determined to repeatedly provide support for acts of international terrorism.
(2) Pursuant to the appropriate federal statute, the President determines and certifies to the appropriate committee of the United States Congress that Iran has ceased its efforts to design, develop, manufacture, or acquire a nuclear explosive device or related materials and technology.
