Connecticut General Statutes Title 36A. The Banking Law of Connecticut § 36a-462b. Establishment of branch in this state by out-of-state, state-chartered credit union. Expansion of field of membership

(b) The commissioner may examine and supervise the Connecticut branches of any out-of-state, state-chartered credit union and may enter into agreements with other state or federal credit union regulators concerning such examinations or supervision. Any such agreement may include provisions concerning the assessment or sharing of fees for such examination or supervision.

(c) The commissioner may, after giving notice and an opportunity to be heard to any out-of-state, state-chartered credit union, revoke or suspend the approval given to such out-of-state credit union to establish a branch in this state for any reason that would be sufficient grounds to deny an application to establish a branch in this state.

(d) With prior written approval of the commissioner, an out-of-state, state-chartered credit union may expand its field of membership to add members in this state, provided the laws of the state in which the out-of-state credit union is organized authorize, under conditions no more restrictive than those imposed by the laws of this state as determined by the commissioner, a Connecticut credit union to expand its field of membership located in that state, and the proposed field of membership has been approved by the state in which such out-of-state credit union is organized. The commissioner shall not approve such expansion unless the commissioner determines that: (1) Such out-of-state credit union is a credit union organized under laws similar to sections 36a-435a to 36a-472a, inclusive; (2) such out-of-state credit union is financially solvent; (3) such out-of-state credit union has share insurance as provided under the Federal Credit Union Act; (4) such out-of- state credit union is effectively examined and supervised by an official of the state in which it is organized; and (5) any potential harm that the expansion of the field of membership of such out-of-state credit union may have on any Connecticut credit union and its members is clearly outweighed in the public interest by the probable beneficial effect of the expansion in meeting the convenience and needs of the members of the group proposed to be included in the proposed field of membership.
