1. That §§ 6.1-32.22, 6.1-48, 6.1-48.1, 6.1-194.14 and 6.1-194.117 of the Code of Virginia are amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 6.1-32.22. Directors.
The affairs of every trust company shall be directed by a board of directors which shall consist of not less than five nor more than twenty-five persons. A majority of the directors shall be citizens of this Commonwealth.
Every director of a trust company shall be the sole owner and have in his
personal possession or control shares of stock of such trust company having a
par value of not less than $2,000 and, within sixty thirty days
of election, shall take and subscribe to an oath that he will diligently and
honestly perform his duties as a director and that he is the sole owner and
has in his possession or control the required amount of stock, unencumbered
in any way. When a director is reelected or reappointed, the oath shall
certify his ownership and control throughout his previous term.
Any director who fails for a period of sixty thirty days to
take the oath required by this section or who does not comply with the
requirement for ownership of stock in this section shall automatically
forfeit his office.
Within sixty days following the election or reelection of any person as a director of a trust company, the trust company shall furnish such information to the Commission relative to the personal character, integrity, financial condition, and personal and business background, as the Commission shall from time to time prescribe. Such report, under oath, shall be signed by the director as well as a designated officer of the trust company. Any person knowingly making a false statement in such a report shall be guilty of perjury and be punished accordingly.
§ 6.1-48. Oaths of directors.
Every director of a bank incorporated under the laws of this Commonwealth
shall, within sixty thirty days after his election or
reelection, take and subscribe to an oath that he will diligently and
honestly perform his duties as director, and that he is the owner and has in
his personal possession or control, standing in his sole name on the books of
the bank or bank holding company, unpledged and unencumbered in any way,
shares of stock of the bank of which he is a director or, when a bank is
controlled by a bank holding company as defined in § 6.1-4, shares of stock
of the bank holding company, having a par value of not less than the amounts
respectively prescribed by § 6.1-47, and, in case of reelection or
reappointment, that during the whole of his immediate previous term as a
director, such stock was not at any time pledged or in any other manner
encumbered or hypothecated to secure a loan. Such oath subscribed to by such
director, certified by the officer before whom it is taken, shall be
transmitted by the cashier of such bank to the Commission. Any director who
