      (2) A depository may deposit other eligible securities with the depository’s custodian and withdraw from deposit securities that the depository pledged to secure deposits of public funds if the remaining securities have a value not less than the depository’s minimum collateral requirement. The State Treasurer shall execute releases and surrender custodian’s receipts that are appropriate to effect substitutions and withdrawals of matured and excess pledged securities.

      (3) If a depository’s minimum collateral requirement increases because the depository ceases to be a well capitalized depository as reflected in the depository’s last treasurer report, call report or other public filing, or if the depository receives notice from the depository’s custodian under ORS 295.013 (2)(d) or from the State Treasurer:

      (a) Within three business days after the date on which the depository’s minimum collateral requirement increases, the depository shall notify the depository’s custodian, the Director of the Department of Consumer and Business Services and the State Treasurer in writing that the depository’s minimum collateral requirement has increased, setting forth the depository’s new minimum collateral requirement and the depository’s plan for increasing the depository’s pledged collateral to the minimum collateral requirement; and

      (4) If a depository’s minimum collateral requirement decreases because the depository becomes a well capitalized depository, or because the State Treasurer no longer requires the depository to pledge additional collateral under ORS 295.018, the depository may:

      (a) Notify the depository’s custodian and the State Treasurer in writing that the depository’s minimum collateral requirement has decreased, setting forth the depository’s new minimum collateral requirement; and

      (3) If the State Treasurer orders a bank depository to increase its collateral under subsection (1) of this section, the State Treasurer shall give notice of the order to the director and the custodian of the bank depository within one business day after issuing the order.

      (4) Failure of the director to inform the State Treasurer of the condition of any bank depository does not give any public depositor any right or impose any liability on the director. The State Treasurer shall not be liable to any public depositor or to any bank depository for increasing or not increasing the collateral requirement as authorized in subsection (1) of this section.

      (5) Any bank depository notified by the State Treasurer of the increased collateral requirement shall:

      295.037 Distribution of collateral after loss in bank depository; assessments. (1) The deposit of securities by a bank depository with its custodian pursuant to ORS 295.001 to 295.108 constitutes consent by the bank depository to the disposition of the securities in accordance with this section.

      (2) When a loss has occurred in a bank depository, the bank depository shall as soon as possible make payment to the proper public officials of all funds subject to the loss, pursuant to the following procedures:

      (a) Immediately upon occurrence of the loss, the State Treasurer shall take possession of the securities segregated as collateral for uninsured public funds deposits held by the closed depository and begin to liquidate as much of the collateral as the State Treasurer estimates is necessary, based upon the most recent information available to the State Treasurer on the amount of uninsured public funds deposits held by the closed depository, for distribution of the proceeds among public officials entitled to the proceeds as provided in this section.

      (b) The Director of the Department of Consumer and Business Services or the receiver for the closed depository shall, within 20 days after the issuance of a restraining order or taking possession of any bank depository, ascertain the amount of public funds on deposit in the bank depository as disclosed by its records and the amount of the public funds covered by deposit insurance or deposit guaranty bonds and certify the amounts to the State Treasurer and to each public official who has public funds on deposit in the bank depository.

      (c) Each public official who has uninsured public funds on deposit in the bank depository shall, within 10 days after receipt of the certification from the Director of the Department of Consumer and Business Services or the receiver, furnish to the State Treasurer verified statements of the uninsured public funds that the public official has on deposit in the bank depository.

      (3) Upon receipt of the certification from the Director of the Department of Consumer and Business Services or the receiver and the verified statements from the public officials who have uninsured public funds on deposit in the bank depository, the State Treasurer shall ascertain and fix the amount of public funds on deposit in the bank depository, plus interest to the date the funds are distributed to the public official at the rate the bank depository agreed to pay on the funds, minus any amount covered by deposit insurance or deposit guaranty bonds.

      (4) After making the calculation described in subsection (3) of this section, the State Treasurer shall assess the amount of uninsured public funds against all bank depositories, as follows:

      (a) First, against the closed depository, to the extent of the full value of the proceeds realized from the liquidation of its collateral by the State Treasurer under subsection (2) of this section, plus the treasurer’s estimate of the amount of proceeds expected to be received from the collateral still to be liquidated by the State Treasurer; and

      (b) Second, against all of the other bank depositories, on a proportionate basis determined as provided in subsection (5) of this section. The amount assessed against each other bank depository under this paragraph may not exceed the maximum liability of the bank depository.

      (5) For purposes of subsection (4) of this section, the proportionate share of each of the other bank depositories shall be determined by:

      (a) Averaging the total amounts of all uninsured public funds deposits reported on the bank depository’s last two treasurer reports;

      (b) Averaging the aggregate total amounts of all uninsured public funds deposits reported on the last two treasurer reports of all of the bank depositories; and

      (c) Dividing the result of the calculation performed under paragraph (a) of this subsection by the result of the calculation performed under paragraph (b) of this subsection.

      (6) Notwithstanding the assessment provisions of subsection (4) of this section, the State Treasurer shall assess the amount of uninsured public funds deposits of a public official only against the closed depository, and not against other bank depositories, if the public official:

      (a) Was given appropriate notice about the closed depository by the State Treasurer under ORS 295.018 (6)(a), 295.031 (1) or 295.061 (4)(a) and did not comply with ORS 295.034; or

      (b) Failed to timely comply with the requirements of ORS 295.006 and, as a result of the failure to timely comply, did not receive appropriate notice about the closed depository from the State Treasurer under ORS 295.018 (6)(a), 295.031 (1) or 295.061 (4)(a).

      (7) The assessment by the State Treasurer against the closed depository shall be payable immediately from the proceeds of the collateral delivered to the State Treasurer. Assessments made by the State Treasurer against the other bank depositories are payable on the fifth business day following demand. If any bank depository fails to pay its assessment, the State Treasurer shall take possession of and liquidate the securities segregated as collateral for uninsured public funds deposits held by the bank depository or so much of the securities as is needed to pay the bank depository’s assessment.

      (8) The State Treasurer shall distribute the amounts received by the State Treasurer from the assessments, to the extent that they do not exceed the total amount of uninsured public funds deposits and accrued interest claimed by the public officials, among the public officials entitled to the proceeds in proportion to the public officials’ respective claims.

      (9) If the amounts received by the State Treasurer from the assessments are inadequate, after all other available sources are applied, to meet the total claims of the public officials for the amount of their uninsured public funds deposits, the public officials may make claims against the closed depository as general creditors, but not against any bank depository other than the closed depository.

      (10)(a) If the final amount of proceeds from the liquidation of collateral received by the State Treasurer from a closed depository exceeds the amount of the assessment against the closed depository under subsection (4)(a) of this section, the State Treasurer shall pay the amount of the excess to the closed depository.

      (b) If the final amount of proceeds from the liquidation of collateral received by the State Treasurer from other bank depositories exceeds the amount of the assessment against the other bank depositories under subsection (4)(b) of this section, the State Treasurer shall pay the excess to the other bank depositories in proportion to the amounts paid to the State Treasurer under their assessments.

      (c) If the final amount of proceeds from the liquidation of collateral received by the State Treasurer from a bank depository, other than the closed depository, under subsection (7) of this section exceeds the amount of the assessment against the bank depository, the State Treasurer shall pay the excess to the bank depository.

      (11) The prohibition on transfers of assets set forth in ORS 711.410 does not apply to assessments, payments, transfers or sales of securities made pursuant to this section. [2007 c.871 §4; 2009 c.821 §10]

      (2) If a loss occurs in a credit union depository, the credit union depository shall, as soon as possible, pay to the proper public officials all funds subject to the loss in accordance with the following procedures:

      (a) Immediately after the loss occurs, the State Treasurer shall take possession of securities that the closed depository’s custodian has segregated as collateral for uninsured public funds deposits of the closed depository. The State Treasurer shall immediately liquidate as much of the collateral as the State Treasurer estimates is necessary, based on the most recent information available to the State Treasurer concerning the amount of uninsured public funds the credit union depository holds, and distribute the proceeds among public officials entitled to the proceeds as provided in this section.

      (b) The Director of the Department of Consumer and Business Services or a receiver shall, within 20 days after issuing a restraining order or taking possession of the credit union depository, ascertain from the credit union depository’s records the amount of public funds on deposit in the credit union depository and the amount of public funds that are covered by deposit insurance or deposit guaranty bonds. The director or the receiver shall certify the amounts to the State Treasurer and to each public official who has public funds on deposit in the credit union depository.

      (c) Within 10 days after receiving the certification from the director or the receiver, a public official who has public funds on deposit in the credit union depository shall furnish to the State Treasurer verified statements of the public funds that the public official has on deposit in the credit union depository.

      (3) When the State Treasurer receives the certification from the director or the receiver and the verified statements from the public officials who have public funds on deposit in the credit union depository, the State Treasurer shall ascertain and fix the amount of public funds on deposit in the credit union depository, plus interest to the date the funds are distributed to the public official at the rate the credit union depository agreed to pay on the funds, minus any amount that deposit insurance or deposit guaranty bonds cover.

      (4) After making the calculation described in subsection (3) of this section, the State Treasurer shall assess the amount of uninsured public funds against all credit union depositories as follows:

      (a) First, against the credit union depository that suffered the loss, to the extent of the full value of the proceeds from the State Treasurer’s liquidation of the credit union depository’s collateral under subsection (2) of this section, plus the State Treasurer’s estimate of the amount of proceeds the State Treasurer expects to receive from collateral the State Treasurer has not yet liquidated; and

      (b) Second, against all other credit union depositories on a proportionate basis determined as provided in subsection (5) of this section. The amount the State Treasurer assesses against another credit union depository may not exceed the credit union depository’s maximum liability.

      (5) For purposes of subsection (4) of this section, the State Treasurer shall determine the proportionate share of each of the other credit union depositories by:

      (a) Averaging, for each credit union depository, the total amounts of all uninsured public funds deposits the credit union depository reported on the credit union depository’s last two treasurer reports;

      (b) Averaging the aggregate total amounts of all uninsured public funds deposits all credit union depositories reported on the credit union depositories’ last two treasurer reports; and

      (c) Dividing the result of the calculation performed under paragraph (a) of this subsection by the results of the calculation performed under paragraph (b) of this subsection.

      (6) Notwithstanding the assessment provisions of subsection (4) of this section, the State Treasurer shall assess the amount of a public official’s uninsured public funds deposits only against the closed depository and not against other credit union depositories, if the public official:
