    (5)  Needs to conduct business in this state to adequately serve its members in this state; and

    (6)  Does not have a field of membership that will materially and substantially overlap the field of membership of a credit union organized under the laws of this state or permitted to conduct business in this state.

    (1)  Such credit union charges interest in compliance with the laws of this state when making loans in this state;

    (2)  Such credit union complies with the consumer protection statutes and rules applicable to credit unions incorporated or organized under the laws of this state; and

    (3)  Such credit union's most recent report of examination by its regulatory agency is furnished to the Administrator or such credit union agrees to submit to an examination by the Bank Commissioner or Administrator.

    (C)  The State Credit Union Board may revoke the approval of a credit union to conduct business in this state if it finds that:

    (1)  The credit union no longer meets the requirements of subsection (A) of this section;

    (2)  The credit union has violated the laws of this state or lawful rules or orders issued by the State Credit Union Board or the Bank Commissioner;

    (3)  The credit union has engaged in a pattern of unsafe or unsound credit union practices; or

    (4)  Continued operation by the credit union is likely to have a substantially adverse impact on the financial, economic or other interests of residents of this state.

    (D)  In the event of revocation as provided in subsection (C) of this section, the Secretary of State shall cancel the certificate of domestication of the credit union.
