Sec. 36a-454a. Benefits for Connecticut credit union employees and their families. Liability or indemnity coverage for directors, credit committee members and
supervisory committee members. (a) In addition to compensating its employees, a
Connecticut credit union may, either independently or in conjunction with one or more
other Connecticut credit unions, with the approval of the governing board, provide death
benefits, disability benefits, accident benefits, hospital, medical, surgical and dental
benefits, incentive savings benefits, severance benefits, retirement benefits and other
employee benefits for its active and retired employees and their families. The provisions
of this section shall be subject to the conditions and requirements imposed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, Public Law 93-406, as from time to
time amended.
(b) A Connecticut credit union may, with the approval of a majority of the governing
board, provide personal liability or indemnity insurance coverage for its directors, appointed directors, credit committee members and supervisory committee members. With
the approval of the commissioner, a Connecticut credit union may also provide reasonable health, accident and related types of personal insurance for its directors, which
insurance shall not be considered compensation. A Connecticut credit union shall not
provide such health, accident or related types of personal insurance for its appointed
directors.
