32-2-936. Removal of directors, officers, or employees -- hearing

32-2-936. Removal of directors, officers, or employees -- hearing. (1) A director, officer, or employee of a mutual association who is found by the department, after examination, to be negligent, dishonest, reckless, or incompetent or to have violated 32-2-821, 32-2-935, 32-2-938, or 32-2-939 must be removed from office by the board of directors of the mutual association on the written order of the department. If the directors neglect or refuse to remove the director, officer, or employee and any losses accrue to the mutual association by reason of the negligence, dishonesty, recklessness, or incompetency of the director, officer, or employee, the written order of the department is conclusive evidence of the negligence of the failure of the directors to act as provided in this section in any action brought against the board of directors by a depositor or creditor for recovery of losses.
(2) If the board of directors refuses to remove the director, officer, or employee in response to an order of the department, the board of directors may file a request for hearing pursuant to the Montana Administrative Procedure Act.
History: En. Sec. 73, Ch. 431, L. 2021.
