14765. (a) An officer, as described in Section 14500, a director, or an employee of a credit union shall not purchase, directly or indirectly, or be interested in the purchase of, any of the credit union’s assets for an amount less than the then current market value. Every person who violates this section shall be liable to the people of this state for each offense in an amount of up to twice the market value of the assets purchased.

(b) In calculating the market value of an asset, the credit union may use the average value of two valuations of the asset from two separate third parties recognized in the industry for establishing market value in connection with a private-party purchase and sale of comparable assets.

(c) This section shall not apply to the purchase of used credit union equipment or furnishings by an officer or director if the current market value of the asset or assets purchased does not exceed five hundred dollars ($500) in the aggregate.

(d) This section shall not be construed to prohibit the credit union from making a gift to an officer or director if the current market value of the gift or gifts does not exceed five hundred dollars ($500) in the aggregate.

(Amended by Stats. 2024, Ch. 305, Sec. 5. (AB 2062) Effective January 1, 2025.)
