     32-1-907. Suspension or prohibition effective upon service -- stay. (1) With respect to any board member or officer of an institution or any other person to whom notice is sent pursuant to 32-1-905, if the director considers it necessary for the protection of the institution or the interests of its depositors that the board member, officer, or other person be suspended from office or prohibited from further participation in any manner in the conduct of the affairs of the institution, the director may serve upon such board member, officer, or other person a written notice suspending him from office or prohibiting him from further participation in any manner in the conduct of the affairs of the institution. The notice shall contain a statement of the facts constituting grounds for the order and shall fix a time, not later than 10 days from the date of the service of the notice, at which a hearing will be held to afford the board member or officer the opportunity to respond. The suspension or prohibition is effective upon service of the notice and unless stayed by a court in proceedings authorized by subsection (2) of this section shall remain in effect until the completion of the administrative proceedings pursuant to the notice served under 32-1-904, until such time as the director dismisses the charges specified in such notice, or until the order of removal or prohibition which is issued against the board member, officer, or other person becomes effective. Copies of the notice shall also be served upon the institution of which the person is a director or officer or in the conduct of whose affairs he has participated.
     (2) Within 10 days after the hearing provided for in subsection (1) of this section, the board member, officer, or other person may apply to the district court for the county in which the home office of the institution is located for a stay of the suspension or prohibition pending the completion of the administrative proceedings pursuant to the notice served upon the board member, officer, or other person under 32-1-904. The court has jurisdiction to stay the suspension or prohibition.
