CREDIT UNIONS – Amends existing law to provide that a credit union shall deliver articles of incorporation to the Secretary of State.
This bill (H 181) requires Idaho credit unions to file one copy of their endorsed articles of incorporation, along with any required fee, with the Secretary of State in addition to current filing requirements with the county recorder and department of finance. It directly affects new credit unions organizing in Idaho by adding a mandatory filing step with the Secretary of State. The key provision amends Idaho Code Section 26-2105 to specify this new filing location, without changing other organizational requirements like membership rules or charter approval. The law takes effect on July 1, 2025.
