(b) Except as otherwise provided by rule, coverage required under subsection (a) of this section must include each director, officer, and employee of the state trust company without regard to whether the person receives salary or other compensation.

(c) A state trust company may apply to the commissioner for permission to eliminate the bonding requirement of this section for a particular individual.
