AI Summary

This bill amends Massachusetts law to allow credit unions to issue "Founders Capital Shares" - a form of secondary capital that can be obtained from natural person members, non-natural person members, and non-natural person non-members. The bill sets forth various conditions and requirements for these Founders Capital Shares, including the need for a credit union to adopt and obtain approval for a Founders Capital Shares Plan, the minimum maturity of 5 years, the subordination of these shares to other claims, and the availability of these funds to cover operating losses. The bill also authorizes the Massachusetts Credit Union Share Insurance Corporation to insure these Founders Capital Shares.
