A. The State Treasurer shall require that financial institutions deposit collateral securities or instruments to secure the deposits of the state in each such institution. The amount of collateral securities or instruments to be pledged for the security of public deposits shall be established by rules and regulations promulgated by the State Treasurer consistent with the provisions of the Security for Public Deposits Act; provided, such amount shall not be less than the amount of the deposit to be secured, less the amount insured.

B. Upon authorization by the State Treasurer, a financial institution shall place required collateral securities in a restricted account at a Federal Reserve Bank which serves Oklahoma, a Federal Home Loan Bank which serves Oklahoma or with another financial institution located in this state that is not owned or controlled by the same institution or holding company. The depositor shall deliver to the State Treasurer a power of attorney authorizing the State Treasurer to transfer or liquidate the securities in the event of a default, financial failure or insolvency of a public depository.

C. Securities eligible for collateral shall be valued at market value. The State Treasurer shall review and determine the market value of collateral pledged for security not less than quarterly. The State Treasurer shall adopt rules and regulations to provide for the valuation of collateral if the market value is not readily determinable. The State Treasurer shall prescribe forms for financial institutions to list collateral securities pursuant to this section.

D. The State Treasurer shall promulgate rules for the acceptance of collateral instruments described in Section 72.5 of this title, to secure deposits of the state. Such rules shall require that sufficient documentation exists to establish that the provider of the collateral instrument will protect the state in the event of a default, financial failure or insolvency of a public depository.

E. All securities purchased by the State Treasurer or held in custody for other state agencies by the State Treasurer shall be held in financial institutions as defined in Section 71 of this title not involved in such transactions and shall not be held by the State Treasurer or a broker.
