Sec. 2402.
(1) If a bank has refused to pay its deposits or obligations in accordance with the terms under which the deposits or obligations were incurred, becomes insolvent, refuses to submit its books, papers, and records for inspection by the commissioner, or if the bank appears to the commissioner that the bank is in an unsafe or unsound condition, the commissioner shall either appoint a conservator under section 2406 or apply to the circuit court for Ingham county or for the county in which the bank is located for the appointment of a receiver for the bank.
(2) In any proceeding for the appointment of a receiver, the commissioner shall request that the court appoint the federal deposit insurance corporation as the receiver if the deposits in the bank are insured to any extent by the corporation. The court may act upon the application immediately and without notice to any person. If at any time it appears to the court that the claimed reasons for receivership do not exist, the court shall dissolve the receivership and terminate the proceedings.
(3) The federal deposit insurance corporation may act as receiver without bond. All other receivers, with the exception of the bureau employee appointed as receiver in his or her official capacity, shall post a bond in an amount to be determined by the court.
(4) If the deposits of a bank described in subsection (1) are not insured by the federal deposit insurance corporation, the commissioner may elect not to seek appointment of a receiver for the bank. If a receiver is not sought, the business corporation act, 1972 PA 284, MCL 450.1101 to 450.2098, governing insolvent business corporations, title 11 of the United States Code, being section 11 U.S.C. 101, governing bankruptcy, and sections 5201 to 5265 of the revised judicature act of 1961, MCL 600.5201 to 600.5265, governing assignments for the benefit of creditors, shall apply to the insolvent bank.
(5) The receiver shall on a regular basis report to the commissioner regarding all matters involving the receivership.
(6) If any bank has been closed and placed in receivership, and the federal deposit insurance corporation pays or makes available for payment the insured deposit liabilities of the closed bank, the corporation, whether or not it has become receiver of the bank, is subrogated to all of the rights of the owners of the deposits against the closed bank in the same manner and to the same extent as subrogation of the corporation is provided for in the federal deposit insurance act.
