(1) A credit union organized and duly chartered as a credit union in another state shall be permitted to conduct business as a credit union in this State if and so long as a credit union chartered under the laws of this State is permitted to do business in such other state, provided that:

        (b) The credit union may be required to pay a
    
registration fee in accordance with rules promulgated by the Secretary and the Director.

        (e) Permission to operate in the State may be revoked
    
by the Secretary or the Director if the credit union engages in any activity in the State that would constitute (i) a violation of this Act or other applicable law, (ii) a violation of any rule adopted in accordance with this Act or other applicable law, (iii) a violation of any order of the Secretary or Director issued under his or her authority under this Act, or (iv) an unsafe or unsound practice in the discretion of the Secretary or Director.
    (1.5) The failure of a credit union chartered in another state to register with the Secretary shall not impair the collectability of a loan made to a resident of this State.
