Missouri Revised Statutes Title XXIV. Business and Financial Institutions § 361.105. Director of finance authorized to issue rules with approval of state banking and savings and loan board--rulemaking procedure

1. The director of finance, with the approval of the state banking and savings and loan board, shall have power to adopt, promulgate, amend and repeal rules and regulations necessary or desirable to carry out the duties assigned to the division by law relating to banks and trust companies and which are not inconsistent with the constitution or laws of this state. A copy of every rule and regulation shall be mailed to each bank and trust company, postage prepaid, at least fifteen days in advance of its effective date; except that the failure of a bank or trust company to receive a copy of a rule or regulation shall not exempt it from the duty of compliance with a rule or regulation lawfully promulgated hereunder. The director, in the exercise of the power to make rules and regulations hereunder, shall act in the interests of promoting and maintaining a sound banking system and sound trust companies, the security of deposits and depositors and other customers, the preservation of the liquid position of banks and in the interest of preventing injurious credit expansions and contractions.

2. No rule or portion of a rule promulgated under the authority of this chapter shall become effective unless it has been promulgated pursuant to the provisions of section 536.024.
