2Frequency of board of directors meetings

This section would change how often a federal credit union's board of directors must meet under section 113 of the Federal Credit Union Act. It would remove the current requirement that the board meet at least once a month. The general board of directors provision would be labeled subsection (a), "In general." A new subsection (b) would set a tiered meeting schedule based on the credit union's age and supervisory ratings. A newly chartered (de novo) federal credit union would have to meet not less often than monthly during each of its first five years of existence. A federal credit union with a composite rating of 1 or 2 under the Uniform Financial Institutions Rating System (or an equivalent rating under a comparable rating system) and with a management component rating of 1 or 2 under that composite rating would have to meet not less than six times a year, with at least one meeting in each fiscal quarter. A federal credit union with a composite rating of 3, 4, or 5 under the Uniform Financial Institutions Rating System (or an equivalent rating under a comparable rating system), or with a management component rating of 3, 4, or 5 under that composite rating, would have to meet not less often than once a month.
