In addition to the requirements of chapter thirty-one-d of this code, the President, or other Executive Officer of every state banking institution and every bank holding company with a controlling interest in a state banking institution shall cause to be kept at all times a full and correct list of the names and post office addresses of the stockholders of the banking institution or bank holding company who directly or indirectly own, control or hold with power to vote five percent or more of the outstanding shares of that institution, and the number of shares owned by each, in the office where its business is transacted. This list shall be open to inspection by all of the stockholders of the banking institution or bank holding company, and the officers authorized by law to assess taxes, during business hours of each day, except Sundays and holidays. A copy of this list shall be made on the first Monday in July of each year and verified by the oath of the President or other executive officer and immediately transmitted by mail to the Commissioner of Banking at his or her office. A bank holding company may comply with the reporting requirement of this section by simultaneously filing with the Commissioner a copy of the annual report it files with its federal reserve bank.
