The governing board of a Connecticut credit union, or the executive committee or senior management if so delegated by the governing board, may declare and pay dividends on partial or full shares from current or accumulated net earnings, provided such credit union shall meet its net worth requirements, provide for accrued and unpaid expenses and adequately fund the allowance for loan and lease losses account. A Connecticut credit union may not declare or pay dividends if it is insolvent or if its net assets are less than stated capital or if the payment of dividends would render such credit union insolvent or reduce its net assets below stated capital. The commissioner may restrict the payment of dividends whenever it appears that such payment would adversely affect the financial condition of a Connecticut credit union.

History: P.A. 03-84 changed “Commissioner of Banking” to “commissioner”, effective June 3, 2003.
