§ 1676 Territorial Bank Office Restrictions
This law says a bank that’s based in a U.S. territory can’t have two different kinds of offices in the same state at the same time – one as a foreign‑state bank and another as a foreign‑nation bank licensed under Chapter 20.
A bank from Mexico wants to open a regular foreign‑state bank office in California and also open a separate office that’s licensed under Chapter 20 as a foreign‑nation bank.
The law says the bank can’t do both; it must pick one type of office or the other for that state.
