Missouri Revised Statutes Title XXIV. Business and Financial Institutions § 362.250. Oath of directors to be subscribed and certified--retained by board--penalty

1. Every person elected director of a bank or trust company shall, within thirty days after election, qualify himself or herself as director by filing with the officers of the bank or trust company an oath that he or she will, so far as the duty devolves on him or her, diligently and honestly administer the affairs of the bank or trust company, and will not knowingly violate, or willingly permit to be violated, any of the provisions of law applicable to the bank or trust company.

2. The oath shall be subscribed by the director making it, and certified by an officer authorized by law to administer oaths, and the fact of the oath having been made and filed with the officers of the bank or trust company shall be noted on the records of the acts of the directors.

3. The oath, subscribed by the director making it and certified by the officer before whom it is taken, shall be retained with the official records of the board of directors.

4. Failure to comply with this provision within the time specified shall work a forfeiture of the position; provided, however, that the director of finance may, for cause deemed sufficient by him or her, extend the time; and when any vacancy occurs by this failure the board of directors shall, at the next regular meeting thereafter, enter the fact of the vacancy upon their records and promptly proceed to elect some competent person to fill the vacancy for the unexpired term.
