AN ACT concerning regulation.
|
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 5. The Illinois Credit Union Act is amended by |
changing Section 20 as follows:
|
(205 ILCS 305/20) (from Ch. 17, par. 4421)
|
Sec. 20. Election or appointment of officials.
|
(1) The credit union shall
be directed by a Board of |
Directors consisting of no less than 7 in number,
to be elected |
at the annual meeting by and from the members. Directors shall
|
hold office until the next annual meeting, unless their
terms |
are staggered. Upon amendment of its bylaws, a credit union may |
divide
the Directors into 2 or 3 classes with each class as |
nearly equal in number as
possible. The term of office of the |
directors of the first class shall expire
at the first annual |
meeting after their election, that of the second class
shall
|
expire at the second annual meeting after their election, and |
that of the third
class, if any, shall expire at the third |
annual meeting after their election.
At each annual meeting |
after the classification, the number of directors equal
to the |
number of directors whose terms expire at the time of the |
meeting shall
be elected to hold office until the second |
succeeding annual meeting if there
are 2 classes or until the |
|
third succeeding annual meeting if there are 3
classes. A |
Director shall hold office for the term for which he
or she is |
elected and until his or her
successor
is elected and |
qualified. |
(1.5) Except as provided in subsection (1.10), in
In all |
elections for Directors, every member
has the right to vote, in |
person or by proxy, the number of shares owned
by him, or in |
the case of a member other than a natural person, the member's
|
one vote, for as many persons as there are Directors to be |
elected, or to
cumulate such shares, and give one candidate as |
many votes as the number
of Directors multiplied by the number |
of his shares equals, or to distribute
them on
the same |
principle among as many candidates as he may desire and the |
Directors
shall not be elected in any other manner. Shares held |
in a joint account
owned by more than one member may be voted |
by any one of the members, however,
the number of cumulative |
votes cast may not exceed a total equal to the number
of shares |
multiplied by the number of directors to be elected. A majority |
of
the shares entitled
to vote shall be represented either in |
person or by proxy for the election
of Directors. Each Director |
shall wholly take and subscribe to an oath
that he will |
diligently and honestly perform his duties in administering
the |
affairs of the credit union, that while he may delegate to |
another the
performance of those administrative duties he is |
not thereby relieved from
his responsibility for their |
performance, that he will not knowingly violate
or willingly |
|
permit to be violated any law applicable to the credit union,
|
and that he is the owner of at least one share of the credit |
union.
|
(1.10) Upon amendment of a credit union's bylaws approved |
by the members, in all elections for Directors, every member |
who is a natural person shall have the right to cast one vote, |
regardless of the number of his or her shares, in person or by |
proxy, for as many persons as there are Directors to be |
elected.
|
(2) The Board of Directors shall appoint from among the |
members of the
credit union, a Supervisory Committee of not |
less than 3 members at the
organization meeting and within 30 |
days following each annual meeting of
the members for such |
terms as the bylaws provide. Members of the Supervisory
|
Committee may, but need not be, on the Board of Directors, but |
shall not
be officers of the credit union, members of the |
Credit Committee,
or the
credit manager if no Credit Committee |
has been appointed.
|
(3) The Board of Directors may appoint, from among the
|
members of the
credit union, a Credit Committee consisting of |
an odd number, not less than
3 for such terms as the bylaws |
provide. Members of the Credit Committee
may, but need not be, |
Directors or officers of the credit union, but shall
not be |
members of the Supervisory Committee.
|
(4) The Board of Directors may appoint from among the |
members
of the
credit union a Membership Committee of one or |
|
more persons. If appointed,
the Committee shall act
upon all |
applications for membership and submit a report of its actions
|
to the Board of Directors at the next regular meeting for
|
review.
If no Membership Committee is appointed, credit union |
management shall act
upon all applications for membership and |
submit a report of its actions to the
Board of Directors at the |
next regular meeting for review.
