At its Feb. 7 special meeting, the House Business Committee voted to introduce RS32187, a resolution that clarifies filing requirements for credit unions' original articles of incorporation.

Representative Jeff Ehlers, District 21, Meridian, who sponsored the draft resolution, told the committee the patch to the Idaho Credit Union Act is intended to clear confusion about where credit unions must file their original articles. He said credit unions “are confused” because prior language required amended articles to be filed with the secretary of state but did not explicitly mention original articles. “So this just clarifies that, you can file your You will file your original articles with the secretary of state,” Ehlers said.

The committee approved a motion to introduce RS32187. The motion was made for the record by Representative Jeff Ehlers; the vote was taken by voice and the chair announced the motion carried.

The resolution was introduced for further consideration; committee members did not request a public hearing or further immediate discussion during the special meeting.
