Sec. 310.
(1) With respect to management of the affairs and property of the health care corporations, and in the selection, supervision, and control of committees of the board, employees of the health care corporation, and officers, each director and officer, and the composite board, shall exercise the duties of a fiduciary toward the health care corporation and the subscribers of the health care corporation as a whole, and shall discharge his or her duties with the degree of diligence, care, and skill which an ordinarily prudent person would exercise under the same or similar circumstances in a like position. In discharging his or her duties, a director or officer, when acting in good faith, may rely upon the opinion of counsel for the corporation, upon the report of an independent appraiser selected with reasonable care by the board, or upon financial statements of the corporation represented to the director or officer to be correct by the president or the officer of the corporation having charge of its books of account, or stated in a written report by an independent public or certified public accountant or firm of such accountants fairly to reflect the financial condition of the corporation.
(2) After notice and a hearing before the board, a director may be removed from the board by a vote of 2/3 of the directors selected and serving on the board for a breach of fiduciary duty.
