§3024 — Title 12 Banks and Banking | U.S. Code

Summary

The Board must create and publish conflict-of-interest rules that are at least as strict as Executive Order 11222. The rules must stop any board member, officer, or employee from taking part in, acting on, or using inside information for personal gain when they have a large money stake or serve as a board member or top officer of a company, trust, partnership, or cooperative that could affect or compete with the banks. The rules must make each candidate for election to the Board file and make public a statement of any financial interests and positions in such organizations before the election. They must also make each senior executive and each appointed Board member file the same type of statement with the person who appoints them before taking office, and those statements must be available for inspection on request.

The Board of Directors shall adopt and publish its own conflict of interest rules which shall be no less stringent in effect than the Federal Executive conflict of interest rules contained in Executive Order Numbered 11222 in prohibiting participation or action or the use of inside information for personal advantage on any matter involving a corporation, trust, partnership, or cooperative organization in which a board member, officer, or employee holds a substantial financial interest or holds a position as board member or senior officer, the activities of which organization might be relevant to, be competitive with, or be inconsistent with the objectives of any bank created under this chapter. These rules shall require—

(1)each nominee for elected membership on the Board established under this chapter to make public and file with the election official before the date of election a statement of his financial interest and position, if any, in such organizations; and

(2)each senior executive officer and appointed member of the Board to file with the appointing officer, before entering that office a statement of his financial interest and position, if any, in such organizations, which shall be available for inspection upon request.
