Any federal association may convert itself into an association under the Savings and Loan Act upon a vote of fifty-one percent or more of the votes of members of the federal association cast at an annual meeting or at a special meeting called for the purpose. Copies of the minutes of the proceedings of the meetings, verified by the affidavit of the secretary or an assistant secretary, shall be filed with the supervisor and mailed to the federal home loan bank board, Washington, D. C., within ten days after the meeting. When filed, these verified copies of the minutes shall be presumptive evidence of the holding and action of the meeting. At the meeting at which conversion is voted upon, the members shall also vote upon the directors to be directors of the association after conversion takes effect. Such directors then shall execute four copies of the petition for certificate of incorporation and four copies of the bylaws provided for in the Savings and Loan Act. The supervisor shall insert in the certificate of incorporation a statement that "This association is incorporated by conversion from a federal association". Each of the directors chosen for the association shall sign and acknowledge the petition for certificate of incorporation as subscribers thereto and the proposed bylaws as incorporators of the association. All provisions of the Savings and Loan Act, so far as applicable, apply to conversion under this section. The supervisor may provide by regulation for the procedure to be followed by any federal association converting into an association. All provisions regarding property and other rights prescribed in the case of conversion of an association into a federal association apply in reverse order to the conversion of a federal association into an association so that the association is a continuation of the corporate entity of the converting federal association and continues to have all of its property and rights.

History: 1953 Comp., § 48-15-139, enacted by Laws 1967, ch. 61, § 95.
