§ 6.1-194.149. Fees for supervision and regulation; investigations
A. For the purpose of defraying the expenses of supervision and regulation of state savings banks, the Commission shall, on or before July 1 of each year, assess against every such savings bank fees in accordance with a schedule to be set by the Commission. Such schedule shall bear a reasonable relationship to total assets and number of branches of various individual savings banks and to the costs of their respective supervision, regulation, and examination.
B. All fees so assessed shall be paid into the state treasury on or before July 31 following. The Commission shall mail the assessments to each savings bank on or before July 1 of each year.
C. Before investigating an application for authority to establish a branch, the Commission shall charge a fee of $1,800 if the branch is to be located within the Commonwealth and a fee as prescribed by the Commission if the branch is to be located outside the Commonwealth. A fee of $1,000 shall be charged before investigating an application for authority to change the location of an existing main office or branch office. Before investigating an application for a certificate of authority or conversion, the Commission shall charge a fee of $10,000, except that the fee for investigating an application to convert from a state association or state bank to a state savings bank pursuant to subsection B of § 6.1-194.129 shall be $5,000. For investigating an application for merger or consolidation, the Commission shall charge a fee of $7,500 and shall not be entitled to any further fees for investigating any application to retain existing branches of the applying savings bank as branches of the merged or consolidated institutions. Such fees may be waived by the Commission in the case of supervisory mergers or consolidations.
D. For investigating an application for authority to exercise trust powers, the Commission shall charge a fee of $2,000 if such powers are to be exercised through a trust department and $10,000 if such powers are to be exercised through a trust affiliate or subsidiary.
E. Notwithstanding the designation of the several fees set forth in subsections C and D, the Commission may reduce by regulation or order any such fee or fees, if the Commission concludes that there is a reasonable basis for doing so and that the reduction of the fee will not be detrimental to the effectiveness of the Bureau of Financial Institutions.
