(a) The board of directors shall establish written policies which shall set forth the policies of the credit union with respect to any obligation that is offered to the members of the credit union. The written policies shall set forth the maximum amounts and terms for any obligation offered to the members, including, but not limited to, the following information:
(1) For loans, the written policies shall set out the terms for unsecured loans, the maximum amount and terms for secured loans, the schedule of interest rates established pursuant to Section 15000 for each type or class of unsecured and secured loan offered to members, the maximum maturity for any loan, or, in the case of an open-end loan, the rate of repayment for any type or class of open-end loan, the limitations, if any, which shall be placed on the authority of any loan officer appointed pursuant to Sections 14602 and 14603, and, subject to the provisions of subdivisions (b) and (c), the individual limits on obligations that are applicable to all members of the credit union. Any policy developed pursuant to this section by the board of directors shall, insofar as possible, and, subject to individual creditworthiness, ensure equal access to funds available for obligations with credit union members.
(2) For obligations other than those set out in paragraph (1), the board of directors shall set out the interest rates and essential terms of the obligations offered to the members and any other information as may be required pursuant to regulations that may be adopted by the commissioner.
(b) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), no credit union policy shall permit a credit union to enter into obligations with an individual credit union member whereby the total obligations of that member, exclusive of amounts secured by shares or certificates for funds, exceed 10 percent of the aggregate dollar amount of the credit union’s savings capital.
(c) Notwithstanding subdivision (b), no credit union policy shall permit a credit union to enter into obligations with any one family whereby the total obligations of the family would be greater than the amount permitted by subdivision (b). For purposes of this article, “family” means the marital couple or any head of household together with those dependents residing with the marital couple or the head of household and those dependents attending school away from the principal residence of the marital couple or head of household.
