(1) The deposit of securities by a bank depository with its custodian pursuant to ORS 295.001 to 295.108 constitutes consent by the bank depository to the disposition of the securities in accordance with this section.
(2) When a loss has occurred in a bank depository, the bank depository shall as soon as possible make payment to the proper public officials of all funds subject to the loss, pursuant to the following procedures:
(a) The Director of the Department of Consumer and Business Services or the receiver shall, within 20 days after the issuance of a restraining order or taking possession of any bank depository, ascertain the amount of public funds on deposit in the bank depository as disclosed by its records and the amount of the public funds covered by deposit insurance and certify the amounts to the State Treasurer and to each public official who has public funds on deposit in the bank depository.
(b) Each public official who has public funds on deposit in the bank depository shall, within 10 days after receipt of the certification from the Director of the Department of Consumer and Business Services or the receiver, furnish to the State Treasurer verified statements of the public funds that the public official has on deposit in the bank depository.
(3) Upon receipt of the certification from the Director of the Department of Consumer and Business Services or the receiver and the verified statements from the public officials who have public funds on deposit in the bank depository, the State Treasurer shall ascertain and fix the amount of public funds on deposit in the bank depository, plus interest to the date the funds are distributed to the public official at the rate the bank depository agreed to pay on the funds, minus any amount covered by deposit insurance.
(4) After making the calculation described in subsection (3) of this section, the State Treasurer shall assess the net amount of public funds against all bank depositories, as follows:
(a) First, against the bank depository that suffered the loss, to the extent of the full value of its collateral deposited with its custodian pursuant to ORS 295.001 to 295.108; and
(b) Second, against the collateral of all other bank depositories, on a proportionate basis determined as provided in subsection (5) of this section.
(5) For purposes of subsection (4) of this section, the proportionate share of each of the other bank depositories shall be determined by:
(a) Averaging the amounts of the total public funds deposits reported on the bank depository’s last four treasurer reports;
(b) Averaging the total amounts of the total public funds deposits reported on the last four treasurer reports of all of the bank depositories; and
(c) Dividing the result of the calculation performed under paragraph (a) of this subsection by the result of the calculation performed under paragraph (b) of this subsection.
(6) Notwithstanding the assessment provisions of subsection (4) of this section, the State Treasurer shall assess the net amount of public funds deposits of a public official only against the bank depository that suffered the loss, and not against the collateral of other bank depositories, if the public official:
(a) Was given appropriate notice about the bank depository by the State Treasurer under ORS 295.018 (5)(a) or 295.031 (1); and
(b) The public official did not comply with ORS 295.034.
(7) Assessments made by the State Treasurer are payable on the fifth business day following demand. If any bank depository fails to pay its assessment, the State Treasurer shall take possession of the securities segregated as collateral by the bank depository and liquidate the securities for the purpose of paying the assessment.
(8) The State Treasurer shall distribute the net proceeds of the assessments and of any liquidated collateral, to the extent that they do not exceed the total net amount of public funds deposits and accrued interest claimed by the public officials, among the public officials entitled to the proceeds in proportion to the public officials’ respective claims.
(9) If the net proceeds of the assessments and of any liquidated collateral are inadequate, after all other available sources are applied, to meet the total claims of the public officials entitled to the proceeds, the public officials may make claims against the closed bank depository as general creditors.
(10) The prohibition on transfers of assets set forth in ORS 711.410 does not apply to assessments, payments, transfers or sales of securities made pursuant to this section. [2007 c.871 §4]
