(3) An application for approval to organize a state-chartered investment company shall be subject to the provisions of chapter 658 relating to the organization of de novo financial institutions and to rules adopted by the commission as necessary to ensure that the proposed state-chartered investment company will be operated in a safe and lawful manner, except that the applicant is not required to become a member of the Federal Reserve System or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
