Provided that a banking institution doing business under this
article which intends to have an affiliate, affiliates, or closely allied
corporation or corporations offering services to the public
not of a
financial, fiduciary or insurance nature or unrelated to the business
of banking or to the performance of bank services
, shall be permitted
to do so only under such regulations as the Bank Commissioner,
the Comptroller of the Treasury and the three appointed members
of the Banking Board have authorized by majority vote for all such
banking institutions as are reasonably required to preserve and

protect the welfare of such institutions and the general economy of

the State ARE AUTHORIZED BY A MAJORITY VOTE OF THE
BANK COMMISSIONER, THE THREE APPOINTED MEMBERS
OF THE BANKING BOARD, AND THREE PERSONS, NOT

APPOINTED BY THE GOVERNOR FOR A TWO YEAR TERM.

by any banking institution as defined in this article; except that in
no event shall any such institution hold shares in any such company
where the capitalized value of such shares on the books of the
institution exceeds more than 2 percent of its un-impaired capital
and surplus.

Provided, however, that nothing in this section shall affect or
disturb any such affiliate or closely allied corporation existing on
June 1, 1935 [, and provided further that a banking institution,
for reorganization purposes and with the consent of the Bank Com-
missioner may create and have an affiliate or closely allied cor-
poration].

The Bank Commissioner shall have the same rights and powers
to examine into the affairs of all [existing] affiliates and closely
