     (1)  Institute any action or remedy prescribed by this chapter and chapter 1 of this title, or any applicable rule; or

     (2)  Refer the private trust company to the attorney general and reporter for institution of a quo warranto proceeding to revoke the charter.

(b)  After notice and an opportunity for a hearing pursuant to the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act, compiled in title 4, chapter 5, the commissioner shall have authority to revoke the exempt status of a private trust company in the following circumstances:

     (1)  The exempt private trust company makes a false statement under oath on any document required to be filed by the department;

     (2)  The exempt private trust company fails to submit to an examination as required by this chapter;

     (3)  The exempt private trust company withholds requested information from the commissioner; or

     (4)  The exempt private trust company violates any provision applicable to exempt private trust companies.
