(a) A director of a state-chartered savings and loan association or federal savings bank shall discharge his or her duties as a director, including his or her duties as a member of any committees:

(1) In good faith;

(2) With the care an ordinary prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances; and

(3) In a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interest of the savings and loan association or federal savings bank.

(b) In discharging his or her duties, a director shall be entitled to rely on information, opinions, reports, or statements, including financial statements and other financial data, if prepared or presented by:

(1) One (1) or more officers or employees of the savings and loan association whom the director reasonably believes to be reliable and competent in matters presented;

(2) Legal counsel, public accountants, or other persons as to matters the director reasonably believes are within the person's professional or expert competence; or

(3) A committee of the board of directors of which he or she is not a member, if the director reasonably believes the committee merits confidence.

(c) A director is not acting in good faith if the director has knowledge concerning the matter in question that makes reliance on the information or data described in subsection (b) of this section unwarranted.

(d) A director is not liable for any action taken as a director, or any failure to take any action, if he or she performed the duties of his or her office in compliance with this section.
