voting stock of such banking corporation is owned or controlled, direct-
ly or indirectly, by such bank holding company for the first time during
such subsequent taxable year. Provided however, for each subsequent
taxable year beginning after January first, two thousand and before
January first, two thousand [thirteen] FOURTEEN, a banking corporation
described in either of the two preceding sentences which filed on a
combined basis with any such bank holding company in a previous taxable

corporate or organized capacity for the first time during such subse-
quent taxable year, or sixty-five percent or more of the voting stock of
such banking corporation is owned or controlled, directly or indirectly,

(A) of this subparagraph, the commissioner may not require a bank hold-
ing company which, during a taxable year beginning on or after January
first, two thousand and before January first, two thousand [thirteen]
FOURTEEN, registers for the first time during such taxable year under
the federal bank holding company act, as amended, and also elects to be
a financial holding company, to make a return on a combined basis for
S. 3753--B 7
