Section 34-27-260. Dissolution.
Upon the recommendation of the board of directors and upon approval of the Board of Financial Institutions, a state credit union may go into voluntary liquidation after obtaining approval of a majority of its members in writing or by a vote in favor of such liquidation by a majority of the members of the credit union at a regular meeting of the members or at a special meeting called for that purpose. Where authorization for liquidation is to be obtained at a meeting of members, notice in writing shall be given to each member at least seven days before such meeting and minutes of the meeting shall show the number of members present and the number that voted for and against liquidation. If approval by a majority of all members is not obtained at the meeting of members, authorization for voluntary liquidation may be obtained by having a majority of members sign a statement in substantially the following form:
"I the undersigned member of the __________ Credit Union hereby request the dissolution of our credit union." A committee of three members shall thereupon be elected to liquidate the assets of the credit union, and each share of the capital stock, according to the amount paid in thereon, shall be entitled to its proportion of the proceeds after all debts of the credit union have been paid.
