AI Summary

This bill clarifies the requirements for out-of-state banks merging with or acquiring West Virginia banks, specifically focusing on the written confirmation needed by the West Virginia Commissioner of Banking. It amends existing law to ensure that an out-of-state bank, as long as it operates a branch in West Virginia, will comply with all state laws, including consumer protection, maintain deposit insurance, and meet capital requirements if it becomes state-chartered. The bill also makes a minor technical correction, changing the reference from "chapter" to "code" when discussing state laws.
