Sec. 601.
(1) If a savings bank has refused to pay its deposits or obligations in accordance with the terms under which the deposits or obligations were incurred, or whenever a savings bank becomes insolvent, has refused to submit its books, papers, and records for inspection by the commissioner, appears to the commissioner to be in an unsafe or unsound condition, or the appointment of a conservator is required under section 204(5), the commissioner shall either appoint a conservator under section 605 with the attorney general representing the commission, or shall apply to the circuit court for the county in which the savings bank is located for the appointment of a receiver for the savings bank.
(2) In a proceeding for the appointment of a receiver, the commissioner shall request that the court appoint the federal deposit insurance corporation as the receiver if the deposits in the savings bank are insured to any extent by that corporation.
(3) The court may act upon the application without notice to any person but if at any time it appears to the court that none of the claimed reasons for receivership did in fact exist, the receivership shall be dissolved and the proceedings terminated.
(4) If the federal deposit insurance corporation accepts the appointment as receiver, it may act without bond.
