West Virginia SB727 amends bank merger laws to clarify interstate branching requirements and compliance with state laws.

West Virginia SB727 amends the state's banking code to clarify the conditions under which out-of-state banks can merge with in-state banks and maintain branches within the state. The bill specifies that such mergers are permitted if the resulting bank meets certain conditions, including compliance with state laws and capital requirements. It also mandates that out-of-state banks confirm their commitment to state laws in writing. The commissioner is authorized to adopt rules for calculating deposit limitations based on the most recent reports filed with state or federal authorities.
