SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Credit unions; membership. Revises provisions of the Virginia Credit Union Act relating to fields of membership and eligibility for membership in state credit unions, so as to attain substantial parity with the Federal Credit Union Act (as amended by HR 1151, in August, 1998). The changes permit multiple common-bond fields of membership, within limits; restrict community-based fields of membership to “well-defined, local communities, neighborhoods or rural districts”; and make persons within the “immediate family” or “household” of individuals who are eligible for credit union membership also eligible. The bill also directs the State Corporation Commission (Bureau of Financial Institutions) to consider federal agency rules and policies on these subjects, but allows the State Corporation Commission discretion in applying such rules and policies.
