§ 1024

(a) In this section, “control” has the meaning set forth in Section 1250.

(b) For purposes of Section 1023, the commissioner may find:

(1) That a proposed officer or director of a proposed bank or trust company does not have sufficient standing to afford reasonable promise of successful operation if such person has been convicted of, or has pleaded nolo contendere to, any crime involving fraud or dishonesty.

(2) That the establishment of a proposed bank or trust company will not promote the public convenience and advantage if any person who is proposed to control the proposed bank or trust company or any director or officer of such person has been convicted of, or has pleaded nolo contendere to, any crime involving fraud or dishonesty.

(c) Subdivision (b) shall not be deemed to be the only grounds upon which the commissioner may find, for purposes of Section 1023, that a proposed officer or director of a proposed bank or trust company does not have sufficient standing to afford reasonable promise of successful operation or that the establishment of a proposed bank or trust company will not promote the public convenience and advantage.
