Cal. Fin. Code § 4925
If the commissioner finds all of the following with respect to an application for approval of a conversion, the commissioner shall approve the application:
(e) In the case of a conversion of a California state savings association, that the conversion will not have a seriously adverse effect on the total availability of financing for housing in any market area of the converting savings association in this state or that any effect of that type is clearly outweighed in the public interest by the probable effect of the conversion in meeting the convenience and needs of the community to be served. Nothing in this subdivision authorizes the commissioner to require the resulting depository corporation to make financing for housing available.
If the commissioner finds otherwise, the commissioner shall deny the application for approval of the conversion.
