32-1-468. Removal of directors, officers, or employees. A director, officer, or employee of a bank who is found by the department, after examination, to be negligent, dishonest, reckless, or incompetent must be removed from office by the board of directors of the bank 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 bank 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 directors failing to act as provided in this section in any action brought against them by a depositor or creditor for recovery of losses.
