Each institution under the jurisdiction of the department, including each out-of-state depository institution operating a branch in this state, shall provide a report of its condition to the department at least twice a year, as required by the commissioner. The commissioner may require an institution to provide more frequent reports as necessary.

The report shall be made according to the form prescribed by the commissioner and shall be verified by the oath or affirmation of the president or a vice president and attested by at least two directors.

It is a third degree felony for any officer, director, or employee of a financial institution to do any of the following:

knowingly subscribe or cause to be made any false statement or report to the commissioner or department;

knowingly subscribe or cause to be made any false entry in the books or accounts of the institution; or

knowingly subscribe or exhibit false papers with intent to deceive any person authorized to examine the institution.

Each institution that fails or neglects to make a report within 30 days after receiving a call for any report required by this title, by an order of the commissioner, or by any rule of the department is subject to a penalty of $50 a day for each day the report is past due. The commissioner may reduce or waive the penalty for good cause shown.

It is criminal perjury for any officer or employee of a financial institution under the jurisdiction of the department to willfully swear falsely in making an oath or affirmation concerning a report of the institution's condition.

For information purposes, and without being subject to penalties under state law, a federally chartered depository institution operating a main office or branch in this state shall provide to the department a copy of its regular report of condition filed with its chartering agency.
