A written record shall be made of such acceptances and of the relinquishment or closing out of each account. Upon the acceptance of an account for which the state trust entity has investment responsibility, a review of the assets shall be made. The board of directors shall also ensure that at least once during every calendar year thereafter, and within 15 months of the last review, all the assets held in each account that the state trust entity has investment responsibilities for are reviewed to determine the advisability of retaining or disposing of such assets.

(c)  All officers and employees taking part in the administration of trust business shall be adequately bonded.

(d)  Every state trust entity shall designate, employ, or retain competent legal counsel who shall be readily available to advise on the trust business it conducts.
