A trust company organized as a limited liability company shall be managed by a board consisting of a minimum of five (5) and a maximum of twenty-five (25) directors or managers, as specified in the articles of organization or operating agreement. (b) A majority of the board shall be citizens of the United States. (c) The board of directors shall meet at least quarterly, and a majority shall constitute a quorum. The commissioner may call a special meeting of the board. The board shall keep minutes of each meeting, including a record of attendance and of all votes cast by each director. (d) A state trust company shall have only one (1) officer designated as the chief executive officer of the company, who shall also be a member of the board of directors. (e) A state trust company shall report to the commissioner within twenty-four (24) hours any change in the position of chief executive officer and shall provide such other information as the commissioner may require. (f) As indicated in § 45-2-2101 , § 45-2-402(d) and (e) shall apply to a state trust company. (g) The directors shall at least annually prescribe the amount or penal sum of the fidelity bond and insurance coverage required by § 45-2-2106(a) and designate the sureties and underwriters of the bond and insurance, after giving due and careful consideration to all known elements and factors constituting a risk or hazard.
