A savings bank must create and maintain books and records of its operations, including complete minutes of the meetings of its members and the board, and actions taken by written consent in lieu of such meetings. Records must be maintained in compliance with the applicable requirements of the appropriate federal banking agency and established industry best practices promoted by the Federal Financial Institution Examination Counsel. Records must be accurate, complete, current, legible, readily accessible, and readily sortable. A state savings bank may store original records or copies of records at a location other than the home office; however, a savings bank must ensure that a complete set of its books and records is readily accessible at the home office at all times so as to facilitate the examination of the savings bank by the Commissioner at the home office. A savings bank may maintain copies of its books and records in an electronic, digital, or magnetic format. A true and correct copy of an original record stored in an electronic, digital, or magnetic format is deemed to be an original record.
