18693. In determining whether to approve or deny an application by
a California industrial loan company for approval to have an insured

California industrial loan company is prohibited from conducting
itself.

terminate the agency arrangement.

18697. This article does not apply to a California industrial loan
company's having an insured depository institution engage in
authorized agency activities as its agent in any case other than a
case where, but for Section 18695, an office of the insured
depository institution affiliate would for regulatory purposes be
considered to be an office of the California industrial loan company.
