A copy of the minutes of the meeting duly certified by the president or vice-president and the secretary or assistant secretary of the state savings institution shall be transmitted to the Commission;3. Thereafter, the state savings institution shall take such action as is necessary under federal law to make it a federal financial institution; and4. The savings institution shall file with the Commission a certified copy of the charter issued to it by the federal chartering authority or a certificate of that authority showing the organization of the state savings institution as a federal financial institution.B. Upon the filing of the certified copy of a charter or certificate of authority as provided in subdivision A 4, the savings institution shall cease to be a state savings institution.C. No state savings institution shall convert into a federal financial institution until it has been in operation as a state savings institution for a period of at least five years.D.

The federal financial institution shall have, hold and enjoy the same in its own right as fully and to the same extent as the same was possessed, held and enjoyed by it as a state savings institution. The federal financial institution, at the time of the taking effect of the conversion, shall become, and continue to be, responsible for all of the obligations of the state savings institution, including taxes and other liabilities created by law or incurred by it before becoming a federal financial institution, to the same extent as though the conversion had not taken place.Code 1950, §§ 6-201.43, 6-201.44; 1960, c. 402; 1966, c. 584, §§ 6.1-173, 6.1-174; 1972, c. 796, §§ 6.1-195.52, 6.1-195.53; 1982, c. 156; 1985, c. 425, §§ 6.1-194.33, 6.1-194.34; 1990, c. 3; 1991, c. 230, §§ 6.1-194.124, 6.1-194.125; 1995, c. 133; 2010, c. 794.Amended by Acts 2010, § c. 794.Amended by Acts 1995, § c. 133.Amended by Acts 1991, § c. 230, 6.1-194.124, 6.1-194.125.Amended by Acts 1990, § c. 3.Amended by Acts 1985, § c. 425, 6.1-194.33, 6.1-194.34.Amended by Acts 1982, § c. 156.Amended by Acts 1972, § c. 796, 6.1-195.52, 6.1-195.53.Amended by Acts 1966, § c. 584, 6.1-173, 6.1-174.Amended by Acts 1960, § c. 402.
