§1775 — Title 12 Banks and Banking | U.S. Code

Summary

When a District of Columbia credit union converts to a federal credit union, it must follow the Federal Credit Union Act and take on the powers, limits, and responsibilities that law gives federal credit unions, with three exceptions. No fee will be charged for the conversion. Any loan or investment made under DC law that does not meet federal rules must be paid off at its due date or, if it has no due date, handled carefully and closed out in a reasonable time. The credit union must send proposed bylaws to the Board for approval after conversion, no later than thirty days after its next annual meeting or six months after August 1, 1964, whichever is later; any existing bylaw that conflicts with federal rules is void.
