PART VII. DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AND EMPLOYEES
§781. Indemnity bonds
A. Each association shall obtain and maintain a fidelity bond given by a surety company authorized to do business in Louisiana covering each officer, director, or employee before permitting such officer, director, or employee to enter upon the duties of their office or employment. This bond may be in the form of individual bonds on individual employees, a schedule fidelity bond, or a blanket bond covering all such persons. The bond shall be in such amount as may be fixed by regulations of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or its successor.
A true copy of each of the bonds shall be filed with the commissioner. Such bonds shall provide that a cancellation thereof by the surety or by the insured shall not become effective until ten days notice in writing first shall have been given to the association.
B. In lieu of complying with the provisions of Subsection A of this Section, any association may provide its own fidelity bond from an insurance fund acceptable to the commissioner or obtain an insurance policy from a surety company approved by the commissioner.
C. Any association may, by resolution of its board of directors, make application to the commissioner of financial institutions to waive, for a stated period of time, the requirement of obtaining and maintaining a fidelity bond as provided in Subsection A of this Section upon a showing to the commissioner that the association is unable to pay the premium to purchase the fidelity bond insurance.
