The credit union commission shall make rules and regulations, consistent with applicable law, for the proceedings in connection with the appeals provided for in subdivision (2) of section 370.062 and setting forth the criteria the director will apply in determining whether or not one or more additional groups may be included in the membership of an existing credit union. The criteria shall include, but is not limited to, determination of the credit union's capital adequacy, administrative capability and financial resources to serve the new membership group.

All rulemaking authority delegated prior to August 28, 1998, is of no force and effect and repealed as of August 28, 1998, however, nothing in this section shall be interpreted to repeal or affect the validity of any rule adopted or promulgated prior to August 28, 1998.
