B. A trust company shall file a signed copy of its fidelity bond with the director, and the fidelity bond shall remain a part of the division's records. C. Every fidelity bond filed with the director by a trust company pursuant to Subsection A of this section shall contain a provision prohibiting the bond company from canceling such fidelity bond for failure to pay the premium unless the bond company files a written notice with the director at least ten days before canceling the fidelity bond. Every fidelity bond filed with the director by a trust company pursuant to Subsection A of this section shall contain a provision prohibiting the bond company from canceling such fidelity bond for any other reason unless the bond company files a written notice with the director at least thirty days before canceling the fidelity bond. D. Except as provided in Subsection E of this section, a fidelity bond secured and filed pursuant to this section shall contain a deductible clause not to exceed fifteen percent of the face amount of the fidelity bond. E. A trust company may submit a written request to the director for approval of a fidelity bond with a deductible clause in excess of fifteen percent of the face amount of the bond. Such written request must be submitted not less than ninety days prior to the expiration of any fidelity bond for the trust company previously filed with the director.

G. The fidelity bond required by this section shall be for the benefit of: (1) any person damaged by an act or acts of a trust company or its directors, officers or employees as a result of a violation of the provisions of, or any rule promulgated pursuant to, the Trust Company Act, the Uniform Probate Code [Chapter 45 NMSA 1978], the Uniform Prudent Investor Act [45-7-601 to 45-7-612 NMSA 1978] or the Uniform Trust Code [Chapter 46A NMSA 1978]; (2) any person damaged by the negligence, fraud or embezzlement of a trust company or its directors, officers or employees; or (3) any person damaged by any other breach of trust of any trust company. H. The amount of a fidelity bond required by this section may be reduced by the director for nonprofit corporations that have otherwise established financial responsibility to the director's satisfaction. I. A reduction in the amount of a required fidelity bond approved by the director pursuant to Subsection H of this section shall be reviewed by the director on an annual basis, at which time the reduction may be terminated upon ninety days' written notice by the director to the nonprofit corporation.
