(a) A credit union shall comply with the reserve requirements of the national credit union administration rules and regulations, 12 C.F.R. 702 in effect on the effective date of this act, or any later version as adopted by the administrator in rules and regulations.
(b) A corporate credit union, in lieu of other reserve requirements, at a minimum, shall set aside an amount equal to the average daily net assets of the corporate credit union, as defined by the administrator, multiplied by .0005 and then multiplied by the number of days in the transfer period divided by 365, until the total amount of the corporate credit union's reserves, undivided earnings and membership shares equal 4% of the net assets of the corporate credit union. The administrator may decrease the amounts required to be set aside by this subsection when in the administrator's opinion such decrease is necessary or desirable.
