TITLE 26 BANKS AND BANKING CHAPTER 21 IDAHO CREDIT UNION ACT 26-2128. Liquidity requirements. (a) Every credit union shall have on hand as a liquidity reserve an amount equal to four percent (4%) of its outstanding shares, certificates of deposit, and certificates of indebtedness. Share or deposit accounts from which a member may withdraw funds by the use of a negotiable instrument shall be subject to the liquidity reserve requirements of subsection (b) of this section and not to the liquidity reserve requirements of this subsection. Said liquidity reserves, except as hereinafter otherwise provided, shall be kept in cash on hand or on deposit subject to check or draft, with any bank or banks or corporate credit union located in the state of Idaho, which shall have been approved by the director as liquidity reserve depositories and shall be computed monthly as follows: on the basis of average daily bank deposits and average daily cash on hand. (b)  Every credit union which provides for its member’s share or deposit accounts from which the member may withdraw funds by the use of negotiable instrument shall have on hand as a liquidity reserve in addition to the liquidity reserve required by subsection (a) of this section an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of its share and deposit accounts which are subject to withdrawal by the use of negotiable instrument. Said liquidity reserves shall be kept in cash on hand or on deposit subject to check or draft, with any bank or banks or corporate credit union located in the state of Idaho which shall have been approved by the director as liquidity reserve depositories and shall be computed monthly as follows: on the basis of average daily bank or corporate credit union deposits, and average daily cash on hand. (c)  Certificates of deposit issued by the Idaho Corporate Credit Union may be included in meeting the requirements of this section. To the extent a credit union is required to maintain reserves pursuant to the monetary control act of 1980 and the implementing regulations of the board of governors of the federal reserve system, as the same is presently enacted and as it may be amended in the future, the reserves required to be so maintained shall be considered as a part of, and not in addition to, the liquidity reserves required by this section.
