N.J. Stat. § 17:9A-23
A bank or savings bank may, without satisfying the requirements of section 22 of P.L. 1948, c.67 (C.17:9A-22), change the location of its principal office to a location in this State then occupied by a branch office maintained by it. After such a change, the bank or savings bank may maintain a branch office at the location formerly occupied by its principal office, or it may discontinue business at such location. Such bank or savings bank shall file a certificate of such change in the department within one week from the date such change is made. A change in location effected pursuant to this section shall not be subject to the limitations imposed by subsection C or D of section 19 of P.L. 1968, c.67 (C.17:9A-19). No change in location shall be made under this section without prior written approval of the commissioner which the commissioner shall not withhold unless the commissioner shall find that such change will not be in the public interest.
