Miss. Code Ann. § 81-5-45, under General Provisions Relating to Banks and Banking.

Miss. Code Ann. § 81-5-45

Every director of every state bank must be the owner, in his or her own right, of unencumbered stock therein to the amount of at least Two Hundred Dollars ($200.00) par value. He shall take and subscribe an annual oath that he will faithfully and diligently perform the duties of his office and will not knowingly violate or permit to be violated any provision of law. Such oath shall be immediately transmitted to the Department of Banking and Consumer Finance and filed in its office. Every executive officer, as defined in Regulation O promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, of every bank doing business under the laws of this state shall subscribe to a similar annual oath and immediately transmit the same to the Department of Banking and Consumer Finance. The board of directors of every banking corporation shall meet at least quarterly, unless otherwise directed by the Department of Banking and Consumer Finance based on an examination finding or applicable regulatory finding, in each calendar year and shall at such times consider generally the affairs of the bank. However, the decision of the board of directors to meet quarterly does not eliminate the requirement for the audit committee to meet at least quarterly. The Commissioner of Banking and Consumer Finance, in his discretion, may prescribe such forms as he may deem necessary, which, when properly executed, shall reflect the activities of the board of directors. It shall be the responsibility of the board of directors at such meetings to complete the forms prescribed and furnished by the Department of Banking and Consumer Finance, and to file same in its office when required by the commissioner.

The results of the examinations by the board of directors shall be entered in the minutes of the bank.
