(a) A credit union shall submit to the commissioner, in a form approved by the department, a certificate of election that provides the name and address of each officer, director, and committee member elected or appointed. The certificate must be filed within the time prescribed by the commissioner.

(b) The commission by rule may authorize the commissioner to obtain other confidential reports relating to a newly elected or appointed officer, director, or committee member.
(c) The commissioner may accept a form prescribed by an insuring organization that contains substantially similar information as the certificate of election in lieu of the certificate. The acceptance of such a form does not limit the commissioner’s power to require additional information concerning a newly elected or appointed officer, director, or committee member.
