      (b)   This section shall not prohibit a bank holding company or any subsidiary thereof from acquiring ownership or control of, or power to vote, any of the voting shares of any bank if the commissioner, in the case of a bank organized under the laws of this state, or the comptroller of the currency, in the case of a national banking association, determines that an emergency exists and that the acquisition is appropriate in order to protect the public interest against the failure or probable failure of the bank.

      (c)   As used in this section, "Kansas deposits" means deposits, savings deposits, shares or similar accounts held by banks, savings and loan associations, savings banks and building and loan associations attributable to any office in Kansas where deposits are accepted as determined by the commissioner on the basis of the most recent reports to supervisory authorities which are available at the time of the acquisition.
