1161.71 Blanket fidelity bond coverage.

All officers and employees of a savings bank, before entering upon the discharge of their duties, shall be covered by an individual, schedule, or blanket fidelity bond issued by an insurer authorized by the department of insurance to do business in this state and issued in favor of the savings bank in an amount required by, and with terms and surety approved by, the board of directors of the savings bank.

The superintendent or the board may require an increase in the amount of any such bond. Each bond shall be for the protection of the savings bank against losses resulting from the commission by its bonded officers or employees of any of the acts prohibited by sections 1161.20, 2913.31, and 2913.42 of the Revised Code, or of any other dishonest act. The directors as such shall not be required to give bond.

Directors of the savings bank to which bond is given shall not be eligible as bondsmen on the bond, but shall be individually liable for any loss to members of the savings bank caused by the neglect of the directors to carry out the duties imposed upon them by law or by the constitution and bylaws of the savings bank.
