In one sentence§ 73d requires that when a § 73c hearing calls for a judge, clerk, deputy clerk, court reporter, or bailiff to travel to another county, the savings and loan association’s own funds — paid out by the Commissioner of Financial Institutions — cover their travel and attendance expenses.
Full Text of § 73d
Plain-English Summary
§ 73d follows directly from § 73c. If a hearing on a failed savings and loan association’s property has to happen away from the home county, the court personnel who travel there should not bear that cost themselves.
The judge, clerk, deputy clerk, court reporter, or bailiff who travels is allowed the necessary expenses of going, returning, and attending to the court’s business, and the court orders that reimbursement paid out of the association’s own funds by the Commissioner of Financial Institutions.
