Latest version.
  • Whenever  the  depositors  and  other
      unsecured  creditors of a national bank, representing at least sixty per
      centum in amount of its total net unsecured liabilities as shown by  the
      books  of  the bank, acting pursuant to section two hundred seven of the
      bank conservation act, have waived and released to the  bank  a  certain
      percentage  of  their  deposits and/or other claims, the town board of a
      town having municipal funds deposited in such bank, upon determining  by
      majority  vote  that  it  is  for  the  best  interest  of the town, may
      authorize the supervisor  of  such  town  to  execute  a  waiver  and/or
      release,  similar in form to those executed by such other depositors, by
      which it shall waive and/or release unto such bank a like percentage  in
      amount  of  its  net unsecured claim against the bank as shall have been
      theretofore waived  and/or  released  by  the  other  depositors  and/or
      creditors  representing at least sixty per centum in amount of its total
      net  unsecured  liabilities,  as  aforesaid.  The  certificate  of   the
      conservator  or  other  public  official  in  charge of such bank to the
      effect that waivers and/or releases have been so executed to the  amount
      of sixty per centum of the total net unsecured liabilities of such bank,
      shall constitute the necessary condition precedent to such action by the
      town  board of the town. Neither the supervisor nor any member of a town
      board shall be liable to the town for any authorization given or release
      or waiver executed pursuant to the provisions of this section.
