Idaho Statutes Title 26. Banks and Banking § 26-2725. Indictment or conviction of a crime--Removal of subject person

(1) If the director determines that a subject person of a licensee has been indicted by a grand jury or has been bound over for trial by a court for a crime involving dishonesty or breach of trust, and that the fact that the person continues to be a subject person of the licensee may threaten the interests of the licensee or may threaten to impair public confidence in the licensee, the director may issue an order suspending the subject person from his office, if any, with the licensee and prohibiting the subject person from further participating in any manner in the conduct of the business of the licensee, except with the consent of the director.

(2) If the director determines that a subject person or former subject person of a licensee to whom an order was directed under subsection (1) of this section, or another subject person of a licensee, has been convicted of, entered a plea of guilty to, has been found guilty of a crime which is punishable by imprisonment for a term of not less than one (1) year and which involves dishonesty or breach of trust, and that the fact that the person continues to be or will resume to be a subject person of the licensee may threaten the interests of the licensee or may threaten to impair public confidence in the licensee, the director may issue an order suspending or removing the subject person or former subject person from his office, if any, with the licensee and prohibiting the subject person from further participating in any manner in the conduct of the business of the licensee, except with the prior consent of the director.

(3) Within thirty (30) days after an order is issued under subsection (1) or (2) of this section, the subject person of a licensee to whom the order is directed may file with the director an application for a hearing on the order. If the director fails to commence a hearing within fifteen (15) business days after the application is filed or within a longer period to which the subject person consents, the order shall be considered rescinded. Upon the conclusion of the hearing, the director shall affirm, modify, or rescind the order. A subject person or former subject person of a licensee to whom an order is directed under subsection (1) or (2) of this section may petition for judicial review of the order pursuant to chapter 52, title 67, Idaho Code.

(4) The fact that a subject person of a licensee charged with a crime involving dishonesty or breach of trust is not convicted of the crime shall not preclude the director from issuing an order concerning the subject person under any other provision of this chapter.

(5) A person to whom an order is directed under this section may apply to the director to modify or rescind the order. The director shall not modify or rescind the order unless the director determines that it is in the public interest to do so and that it is reasonable to believe that the person, if and when he or she becomes a subject person of a licensee, will comply with this chapter.

(6) As used in this section, “office,” if used with respect to a licensee, means the position of director, officer, or employee of the licensee or of a subsidiary of the licensee.
