Rhode Island General Laws Title 19. Financial Institutions § 19-5-18. Expulsion of members

Credit union management may expel from the credit union any member who has not fulfilled his or her duties toward the credit union; or who has been convicted of a criminal offense; or who neglects or refuses to comply with the provisions of this chapter or of the credit union's bylaws; or who habitually neglects to pay debts; or who shall become insolvent or bankrupt; or who shall have deceived the credit union with regard to the use of borrowed money, but no member shall be expelled until credit union management has provided the member a notice in writing of the charges against him or her. The member shall have the right to file a written appeal to the board of directors to reconsider the expulsion notice. The written appeal must be filed within ten (10) business days of the receipt of expulsion notice. No such expulsion shall operate to relieve the member from any remaining liability to the credit union.
