 (a) An international bank, an interstate state bank, or an interstate national bank whose deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation may acquire a branch bank as the result of a merger or consolidation of the international bank, interstate state bank, or interstate national bank with, or the purchase of all or substantially all of the assets of, a state bank, a national bank with its principal office in this state, or a branch of the state bank or national bank, unless the state bank or national bank is a recently formed bank.

 (b) An international bank may establish a new branch bank in this state or acquire a recently formed bank if the department approves the establishment or acquisition before the establishment or acquisition occurs. An interstate state bank or interstate national bank may not establish a branch bank in this state unless the establishment occurs through an acquisition under (a) of this section of a bank located in the state. An interstate state bank or interstate national bank may not establish a new branch bank in this state.
