Credit Union Act

The act governs the chartering, regulation, and internal governance of credit unions — member-owned cooperative financial institutions organized under state law. It establishes how a credit union is formed, running from the application and articles of incorporation through investigation and approval by the state regulator, with an appeal to a supervisory commission, and it sets conditions for commencing business, amending governing documents, maintaining offices, and admitting credit unions chartered elsewhere. It further defines who may become a member and how members vote, prescribes the election, qualification, compensation, bonding, and indemnification of directors and officers along with conflict-of-interest limits, and imposes ongoing reporting, audit, capital, and reserve requirements.
