The shares of one credit union which are owned by another credit union shall be excluded from the assets of the first credit union for the purpose of computing the supervisory fee levied pursuant to this section. All fees assessed shall be accounted for as prepaid expenses on the books of the credit union.

2. The state treasurer shall credit such payments, including all fees and charges made pursuant to this chapter to a special fund to be known as the “Division of Credit Unions Fund”, which is hereby created and which shall be devoted solely and exclusively to the payment of expenditures actually incurred by the division and attributable to the regulation of credit unions. Any amount remaining in such fund at the end of any fiscal year and any earnings attributed to such fund shall not be transferred and placed to the credit of the general revenue fund as provided in section 33.080 but shall be used, upon appropriation by the general assembly, for the payment of such expenditures of the division in the succeeding fiscal year and shall be applied by the division to the reduction of the amount to be assessed to credit unions in such succeeding fiscal year. In the event two or more credit unions are merged or consolidated, such excess amounts shall be credited to the surviving or new credit union.

Terms Used In Missouri Laws 370.107

  • Appropriation: The provision of funds, through an annual appropriations act or a permanent law, for federal agencies to make payments out of the Treasury for specified purposes. The formal federal spending process consists of two sequential steps: authorization
  • Assets: (1) The property comprising the estate of a deceased person, or (2) the property in a trust account.
  • Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
  • Fiscal year: The fiscal year is the accounting period for the government. For the federal government, this begins on October 1 and ends on September 30. The fiscal year is designated by the calendar year in which it ends; for example, fiscal year 2006 begins on October 1, 2005 and ends on September 30, 2006.
  • following: when used by way of reference to any section of the statutes, mean the section next preceding or next following that in which the reference is made, unless some other section is expressly designated in the reference. See Missouri Laws 1.020
  • State: when applied to any of the United States, includes the District of Columbia and the territories, and the words "United States" includes such district and territories. See Missouri Laws 1.020

3. The expense of every regular and every special examination, together with the expenses of administering the laws pertaining to credit unions, including salaries, travel expenses, supplies and equipment, credit union commission expenses of administrative and clerical assistance, legal costs and any other reasonable expense in the performance of its duties, and an amount not to exceed fifteen percent of the above-estimated expenses to pay the actual costs of rent, utilities, other occupancy expenses and other supporting services furnished by any department, division or executive office of this state and an amount sufficient to cover the cost of fringe benefits shall be paid by the credit unions of this state by the payment of fees yielded by this section.

4. The director of the division of credit unions shall prepare and maintain an equitable salary schedule for examiners, professional staff, and support personnel that are employees of the division. Personnel employed by the division shall be compensated according to the following schedule, provided that such expense of administering the credit union laws is assessed and paid in accordance with this section. The positions and classification plan for such personnel attributed to the examination of the state credit unions shall allow for a comparison of such positions with similar examiner positions at federal credit union regulatory agencies. State credit union examiner positions shall not be compensated at more than ninety percent parity for corresponding federal positions for similar geographic locations in the state as determined by the director of the division of credit unions.
