condition, or otherwise limit a California savings association from conducting the business of, or acquiring control of, a savings association in the relevant jurisdiction pursuant to the laws, court decisions, or practices of that jurisdiction, a similar prohibition, restriction, condition, or limitation to be prescribed by regulation or order of the commissioner shall apply in California to the foreign savings association or foreign holding company.
