(a) Except as provided in section 36a-454b, the governing board may delegate, in accordance with its bylaws, all or part of its lending authority to a credit committee, a credit manager who may be but is not required to be a member, loan officers or any combination thereof, who shall review and act on all applications for extensions of credit or for release or substitution of collateral in accordance with the loan policy prescribed by the governing board.
(b) If the bylaws of a Connecticut credit union provide for a credit committee, such committee shall consist of an odd number of three or more members of the credit union, none of whom shall simultaneously serve on the supervisory committee and all of whom shall be members in good standing.
(c) The credit committee shall meet as often as necessary but at least monthly at a duly noticed meeting. All actions by the committee shall be by majority vote of those members present at any duly noticed meeting at which a quorum is present. A majority of the credit committee shall constitute a quorum. The credit committee shall keep complete minutes of all of its meetings, including the names of those present. The credit manager or loan officer shall provide to the governing board or the credit committee, if any, on at least a monthly basis, a complete listing of all applications for extensions of credit or for release or substitution of collateral that were reviewed and acted upon.
(d) A credit manager or loan officer shall not disburse the funds of the Connecticut credit union for any extension of credit approved by such credit manager or loan officer, except for extensions of credit that are secured in full by pledge of the borrowing member's own shares.
(e) An applicant for an extension of credit or release or substitution of collateral that has been disapproved by a credit manager or loan officer may appeal to the credit committee or, in the absence of a credit committee, to the governing board. Any such appeal to the credit committee or the governing board shall be acted upon at the next regular meeting of the credit committee or governing board. An applicant for an extension of credit or release or substitution of collateral that has been disapproved by the credit committee, other than an applicant appealing a denial by a credit manager or loan officer, may appeal to the governing board. Any such appeal to the governing board shall be acted upon by the governing board at its next regular meeting.
