Sec. 4. (a) The bylaws, as provided in section 3 of this chapter, with acknowledgment of their adoption by the incorporators or board of directors, must provide at least the following:
(1) That the board of directors shall annually establish a date for the annual meeting. The bylaws shall prescribe the manner of notifying the members of meetings, the manner of conducting the meetings, and the number of members constituting a quorum, which shall in no case be less than fifteen (15) members.
(2) The number of directors of the corporation, which shall not be less than five (5), all of whom shall be members.
(3) The powers and duties of the directors.
(4) The duties of the officers who are elected by the board of directors.
(5) The number of members of the supervisory committee, which shall not be less than three (3), together with their respective powers and duties.
(6) The terms under which shares may be issued, transferred, and withdrawn and loans may be made and repaid.
(7) Any other provisions consistent with this chapter.
(b) The bylaws must prescribe procedures which ensure that all credit union members have an opportunity to vote, either in person or by absentee ballot, at any meeting of the shareholders. A member may not vote by proxy. A member, other than a natural person, may vote through an agent designated for that purpose. An agent may not represent more than one (1) entity.
(c) This section does not prevent a credit union from having more restrictive provisions in its bylaws than are required by this chapter.
