§ 692 Commissioner Emergency Borrowing Authority

Key Takeaways

  • •If a company with a license is in big trouble, the boss in charge (commissioner) can borrow money to help fix it.
  • •The boss can ask the government for money to save the company or close it down nicely.
  • •The boss can use the company's stuff (like buildings or machines) as a promise to pay back the money.
  • •A judge has to say it's okay before the boss can do this.

Example

A small bank is about to go out of business because it doesn't have enough money. People who saved money there are worried they'll lose it all.

The boss in charge of banks can borrow money from the government to help the bank. They might use the bank's buildings or computers as a promise to pay the money back. This way, people might still get their savings, and the bank can close down without causing a big mess.
