Statute overview

About this statute

This Act sets rules for forming, registering, managing, and regulating cooperatives, including member voting, filing duties, by-law compliance, and limits on certain subsidiary and branch activities. Cooperatives covered by these sections must adopt bylaws on representation, hold general meetings on time, maintain a board and audit committee, keep accounts, and follow Commission oversight rules. The Commission can take control of a cooperative, appoint people to run or advise it, and order suspension, removal, freezing of accounts, or dissolution in the stated cases. This part repeals certain earlier cooperative laws, keeps some existing bodies and records in effect for transition, and requires older cooperatives to update their by-laws within two years.
