Credit Union Board Modernization Act

This legislation revises the Federal Credit Union Act to alter the mandatory meeting schedule for federal credit union boards of directors. Previously, all boards were required to meet at least once a month, but this bill introduces a more flexible, risk-based approach to meeting frequency.

The new requirements are tiered: de novo federal credit unions must meet monthly for their first five years. For established credit unions, those with strong financial health (composite and management ratings of 1 or 2 under the Uniform Financial Institutions Rating System) will meet at least six times annually, with one meeting per fiscal quarter. Conversely, credit unions with lower ratings (composite or management ratings of 3, 4, or 5) will still be required to meet not less frequently than once a month.
