  (l) An eligible bank that has been selected by the Treasurer for the safekeeping of money belonging to, or in the custody of, the state, and that has its headquarters located outside of the state, may submit letters of credit that are drawn on its regional federal home loan bank as security, solely for deposits maintained in the Treasurer's demand accounts, and subject to the terms set forth in paragraphs (1) and (2) of subdivision (k).

The sureties shall not be stockholders of the principal.
In lieu of deposits of securities, any otherwise eligible bank may deposit with the Treasurer bonds of admitted surety insurers as security for demand and time deposits.
An admitted surety insurer is not eligible as surety for demand or time deposits in any one bank in amounts in excess of 10 percent of the capital and surplus of the surety as shown in the preceding report issued by the United States Treasury Department.
On demand of the Treasurer, the Insurance Commissioner shall issue a certificate showing the qualifications of any admitted surety insurer as surety for demand or time deposits.
The bond of an admitted surety insurer shall not be accepted as security for demand or time deposits unless it has been certified by the Insurance Commissioner as meeting the requirements of this chapter and unless it also holds a certificate of authority from the United States Treasury Department under which it is eligible as surety on federal bonds.
The form of bonds required under this chapter shall be prescribed by the Attorney General.
A surety upon any bond to secure demand or time deposits may terminate the bond as to future liability by giving 10 days' written notice of termination to the Treasurer. Such notice of termination shall not affect any liability accruing prior to the expiration of the 10-day period. Within 10 days after receipt of such a notice of termination, the Treasurer shall require other acceptable security or withdraw the deposits secured by the bond to be terminated.
That portion of any security for deposit that is in excess of the requirements of this article may be withdrawn or released on the written consent of the Treasurer.
