[Filed January 4, 2017, 8:40 a.m., effective February 4, 2017]
Effective Date of Rule: Thirty-one days after filing.
Purpose: Chapter 208-424 WAC is not in compliance with recent amendments to the Washington Credit Union Act and National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) policy interpretations. WAC 208-424-010 is no longer applicable because in September 2015, NCUA defined a small credit union as under $100 million in assets. WAC 208-424-020 is out of compliance with RCW 31.12.195, amended by chapter 34, Laws of 2013 (SB 5302) which now requires a credit union to hold its special membership meeting no later than ninety days after the secretary receives a valid request. WAC 208-424-030 is out of compliance with RCW 31.12.225, amended by chapter 34, Laws of 2013 (SB 5302), which requires a credit union to hold no less than six regular board meetings per year.
