Sec. 5-6. Removal orders. Whenever, in the opinion of the Secretary, any director, officer, employee, or agent of a corporate fiduciary or subsidiary or corporate parent of the corporate fiduciary shall have violated any law, rule, or order relating to the corporate fiduciary or subsidiary or corporate parent of the corporate fiduciary, shall have engaged in an unsafe or unsound practice in conducting the business of the corporate fiduciary or subsidiary or corporate parent of the corporate fiduciary, or shall have violated any law or engaged or participated in any unsafe or unsound practice in connection with any financial institution or other business entity such that the character and fitness of the director, officer, employee, or agent does not assure reasonable promise of safe and sound operation of the corporate fiduciary or subsidiary or corporate parent of the corporate fiduciary, the Secretary may issue an order of removal. If in the opinion of the Secretary, any former director, officer, employee, or agent of a corporate fiduciary or subsidiary or corporate parent of the corporate fiduciary, prior to the termination of his or her service with the corporate fiduciary or subsidiary or corporate parent of the corporate fiduciary, violated any law, rule, or order relating to the corporate fiduciary or subsidiary or corporate parent of the corporate fiduciary or engaged in an unsafe or unsound practice in conducting the business of the corporate fiduciary or subsidiary or corporate parent of the corporate fiduciary or violated any law or engaged or participated in any unsafe or unsound practice in connection with any financial institution or other business entity such that the character and fitness of the director, officer, employee, or agent would not have assured reasonable promise of safe and sound operation of the corporate fiduciary or subsidiary or corporate parent of the corporate fiduciary, the Secretary may issue an order prohibiting that person from further service with a corporate fiduciary or subsidiary or corporate parent of the corporate fiduciary as a director, officer, employee, or agent. An order issued pursuant to this Section shall be served upon the director, officer, employee, or agent. A copy of the order shall be sent to each director of the corporate fiduciary affected by personal service, certified mail return receipt requested, or any other method that provides proof of service and receipt. A copy of the order shall be served upon the corporate fiduciary of which the person is a director, officer, employee, or agent, whereupon the person shall cease to be a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporate fiduciary. Any person who has been removed or prohibited by an order of the Secretary under this Section or subsection (7) of Section 48 of the Illinois Banking Act may not thereafter serve as director, officer, employee, or agent of any State bank or corporate fiduciary, or of any other entity that is subject to licensure or regulation by the Division of Banking unless the Secretary has granted prior approval in writing. The Secretary may institute a civil action against the director, officer, employee, or agent subject to an order issued under this Section and against the corporate fiduciary to enforce compliance with or to enjoin any violation of the terms of the order.
