(c) Promptly after the vote is taken and in no event later than ninety (90) days thereafter if the proposition for conversion is approved by such vote, the credit union shall take such action as may be necessary under the federal law to make it a federal credit union, and within ten (10) days after the receipt of the federal charter, notice shall be filed with the director that the charter has been issued.
(d) Upon ceasing to be a state chartered credit union, such credit union shall no longer be subject to any of the provisions of this chapter.
A federally chartered credit union organized under the Federal Credit Union Act may be converted to a state chartered credit union by the following procedure: complying with all state requirements requisite to enabling it to meet proof of solvency and organization as required by this chapter.
When the director has been satisfied that all requirements of this chapter have been complied with, he shall approve the organizational certificate as a state chartered credit union as required by this chapter.
