BONDING REQUIREMENTS.
Text — Current through the 89th 2nd Called Legislative Session, 2025
(a) The board of a state trust company shall require a bond for the protection and indemnity of clients, in reasonable amounts established by rules adopted under this subtitle, against dishonesty, fraud, defalcation, forgery, theft, and other similar insurable losses. The bond must be with a corporate insurance or surety company:
(1) authorized to do business in this state; or
(2) acceptable to the banking commissioner and otherwise lawfully permitted to issue the coverage against those losses in this state.
(b) Except as otherwise provided by rule, a bond is required to cover each director, manager, managing participant, officer, and employee of a state trust company without regard to whether the person receives salary or other compensation.
(c) A state trust company may apply to the banking commissioner for permission to eliminate the bonding requirement of this section for a particular individual. The banking commissioner shall approve the application if the banking commissioner finds that the bonding requirement is unnecessary or burdensome. Unless the application presents novel or unusual questions, the banking commissioner shall approve the application or set the application for hearing not later than the 61st day after the date the banking commissioner considers the application complete and accepted for filing.
