Sec. 201.
(1) The director shall administer the laws of this state relating to credit unions that are transacting business in this state and shall supervise domestic credit unions and foreign credit unions other than federal credit unions that are transacting business in this state. Each domestic credit union shall report its financial condition as required by the director.
(2) The director shall charge an annual operating fee to each domestic credit union. All of the following apply to the annual operating fee:
(a) Subject to subdivision (d), the director shall establish a fee amount that is sufficient to defray the estimated expenses of the department in performing all credit union examinations and the supervision of domestic credit unions.
(b) The director shall invoice each domestic credit union for the fee before July 1 of each year and each domestic credit union shall pay the operating fee before July 16 of that year.
(c) The director shall compute the fee based on the total assets of the domestic credit union on December 31 of the previous year as shown on the report of the domestic credit union filed with the director under subsection (1).
(d) The amount of the fee is the greater of $500.00 or the sum of all of the following:
(i) A base fee established by the director of not less than $1.00 or more than $3.50 per $1,000.00 of assets up to $500,000.00.
(ii) A fee of 40% of the base fee per $1,000.00 of assets greater than $500,000.00 up to $1,000,000.00.

(e) The director shall not require a domestic credit union to pay an operating fee more often than annually.
(3) A corporate credit union organized under this act shall pay an operating fee in the same manner as other domestic credit unions, but the fee shall not exceed $50,000.00 annually.
(4) Each domestic credit union shall report its financial condition as required by the director. A domestic credit union that fails to file a report with the director when it is due shall pay a fee of $100.00 for each day the report is delinquent. The director may waive the fee for cause. If a delinquency continues for 15 days, the director may revoke the domestic credit union's certificate of approval and take possession of the business and property of the domestic credit union and maintain possession until the director permits it to continue business or involuntarily dissolves the credit union under section 331(3).
(5) A domestic credit union that amends its bylaws or certificate of organization must file the amendment with the director. The director shall not charge a fee for reviewing and approving or disapproving of an amendment for purposes of section 303.
(6) A domestic credit union shall make all of its accounts, books, and records, in whatever form maintained, available for examination by the director or the director's appointed agent during the normal business hours of the director. A domestic credit union shall do all of the following:
(a) Provide the director with a current schedule of the hours during which the domestic credit union is open.
(b) Designate an individual to provide access to the credit union records and a substitute for that individual.
(c) Provide the director with the current name, address, and telephone number of the individual designated in subdivision (b) and of his or her substitute if the individual is absent.
(d) If the credit union processes any of its records at any location other than its principal place of business, provide the director with the current name and address of the person that processes the records.
(7) As used in subsection (6), "records" includes audit reports and audit working papers described in section 344 unless privileged by law.
