What’s in it

Current law provides that a state credit union may merge with another credit union if the merger is pursuant to a plan agreed upon by a majority of the board of directors of each credit union joining in the merger and the merger is approved by a majority vote of the members of the merging credit union. A merging credit union must provide notice of balloting for the vote to the members of the merging credit union entitled to vote on the merger at least days prior to the scheduled vote. This bill provides that prior to the sending of notice of balloting for the membership vote on a merger, a merging credit union shall submit to the superintendent of credit unions all materials included in the notice at least days before the notice is sent to the members.

Read the full explanation

The superintendent shall review and approve the materials to be included in the notice at least days before the notice is sent to the members. The superintendent may direct any materials to be included in the notice.401(3), in order to approve a merger.
