(2) The director may enter into a contract with a credit union supervisory agency that has concurrent jurisdiction over a credit union operating a branch or other office or place of business in this state to engage the services of the agency’s examiners at a reasonable rate of compensation or to provide the services of the director’s examiners to the agency at a reasonable rate of compensation. The contract is exempt from competitive bidding requirements under the provisions of ORS chapters 279A and 279B. The contract may resolve conflicts of laws and specify the manner in which examination, supervision and application processes will be coordinated between this state and the home state of the non-Oregon institution.

(3) The director may enter into joint examinations or joint enforcement actions with other credit union supervisory agencies that have concurrent jurisdiction over a non-Oregon institution branch or other office or place of business located in this state or a branch of a credit union that is chartered in Oregon and is located in another state. Conducting a joint examination or enforcement action under this subsection does not prevent the director from conducting an independent examination or enforcement action at any time if the director determines that carrying out the director’s responsibilities or ensuring compliance with the laws of this state requires the independent action. With respect to examinations or enforcement actions that involve non-Oregon institutions, the director may recognize:

(a) The exclusive authority of the credit union supervisory agency of the home state of the non-Oregon institution over corporate governance matters; and

(b) The primary responsibility of the credit union supervisory agency of the home state of the non-Oregon institution over safety and soundness matters.

(4) The director may share fees collected from non-Oregon institutions under the provisions of this chapter with another credit union supervisory agency or an organization affiliated with or representing one or more credit union supervisory agencies in accordance with agreements between the agency or organization and the director.
