(2) A member of the trust shall be neither a trustee nor the administrator, but this provision shall not be deemed to prohibit an individual who is otherwise an employee of such a member from being trustee or administrator.

(3) The trustee shall cause all individuals handling receipts and disbursements for the trust fund to be bonded at all times under a fidelity bond issued by a surety insurer authorized to transact such insurance in this state. The bond shall be in favor of the trust fund and for such aggregate penalty amount, not less than twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000), as the director may deem reasonably advisable in relation to amount of funds to be so handled. The bond shall be noncancellable except upon not less than thirty (30) days advance notice in writing to the trustee and the director. The cost of the bond shall be borne by the trust fund.
