Summary

A regulated entity must file a workable plan to restore its core capital to at least the minimum level and its total capital to at least the risk-based level. The plan must name the capital target, describe steps to become adequately capitalized, give a timeline, list the main activities it will carry out while the plan is in effect, and explain how it will meet any required or optional conditions under this law. The Director will set a filing deadline no more than 45 days after written notice and can extend that deadline in writing. The Director will approve or reject the plan within 30 days (one extra 30-day extension allowed) and must notify the entity in writing, saying why if rejected. If rejected, the entity must submit an amended plan acceptable to the Director within 30 days or a longer time the Director allows for the public interest.
