A credit union must be organized in the following manner:

which they agree to be bound, stating the name and the location of the proposed credit

union, the names and addresses of the subscribers to the certificate and the number

of shares subscribed by each, and the par value of the shares of the credit union,

which may not exceed fifty dollars each. The commissioner shall prescribe the

application form.

2. The applicants shall prepare and execute proposed bylaws, in triplicate, for the

general governance of the credit union consistent with the provisions of this chapter.

3. The certificate and the proposed bylaws, both executed in triplicate, must be

forwarded to the commissioner.

4. The applicants shall apply for, secure, and maintain national credit union

administration insurance of accounts.

5. The board, within thirty days after the receipt of the certificate and bylaws, shall

determine whether they comply and are consistent with this chapter.

6. The board shall instruct the secretary of state to issue a charter, which must be

attached to the certificate of organization and returned, together with the bylaws, to the

applicants upon payment of a filing fee of thirty dollars to the secretary of state.

7. Evidence of securing national credit union administration insurance must be furnished

to the commissioner before the charter may be released to the applicant credit union.
