370.163. Suspension of director or officer permitted, when, procedure. — Whenever a director or officer of a credit union, or other person participating in the conduct of the affairs of such credit union, is charged in any information or complaint authorized by a prosecuting attorney or a United States attorney, or in any indictment, with the commission of or participation in a crime involving dishonesty or breach of trust which is punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year under state or federal law, the director may, if continued service or participation by the individual may pose a threat to the interests of the credit union's members or may threaten to impair the confidence in the credit union, by written notice served upon such director, officer, or other person, suspend him or her from office or prohibit him or her from further participation in any manner in the conduct of the affairs of the credit union. A copy of such notice shall also be served upon the credit union. Such suspension or prohibition shall remain in effect until such information, indictment or complaint is finally disposed of or until terminated by the director. In the event that a judgment of conviction with respect to such crime is entered against such director, officer, or other person, and at such time as such judgment is not subject to further appellate review, the director may, if continued service or participation by the individual may pose a threat to the interests of the credit union's members or may threaten to impair public confidence in the credit union, initiate action to remove such officer as described in subsection 1 of section 370.157.
