Section 32-2-1032 - Powers of officers(1) When the officers of a mutual association feel that an emergency exists or is impending that affects or may affect any of a mutual association's offices, they may, in the reasonable and proper exercise of their discretion, determine not to open any of those offices on any business day or, if the offices have opened, to close any of those offices during the continuation of the emergency, even if the department has not issued and does not issue a proclamation of emergency. An office closed in this way shall remain closed until the officers determine that the emergency has ended and for a further time afterward as may reasonably be required for them to reopen. However, an office may not remain closed for more than 48 consecutive hours, excluding other legal holidays, without requesting the approval of the department.(2) The officers of a mutual association may close any of the mutual association's offices on any day: (a) designated by proclamation of the president of the United States or the governor of this state as a day of mourning, rejoicing, or other special observance; or(b) that the federal reserve bank of Minneapolis is not open for business.Added by Laws 2021, Ch. 431,Sec. 114, eff. 10/1/2021.
