§ RS 6:809. Board may prescribe rules

A.  The board of directors shall have full authority to prescribe such rules as, in its discretion, may be suitable to prevent members or depositors from making any simulated or otherwise improper transfer of shares or savings accounts in order to appear more than once on the withdrawal list, and all rules thus made shall be binding on the members of the association.

B.  The board of directors may prescribe, grant, and order the payment of an allowance on the amount of unpaid withdrawals under such terms and conditions as to the amount of individual withdrawals or period of time on the withdrawal list, or otherwise, as the board may determine; but the rate of allowance which may be thus paid shall never exceed sixty percent of the rate of dividend or interest currently and actually paid in cash on the shares or savings accounts of continuing members or depositors.  The allowance may be discontinued by the board at any time or under any conditions, especially without affecting the right to continue to pay earnings and interest on the shares or savings accounts of continuing members or depositors.  Whenever an allowance is made to members or depositors on the withdrawal list as authorized, any member or depositor withdrawing shares or accounts, who accepts the allowance, shall bear his proportion of all losses and charges on such shares or accounts, as stated in R.S. 6:807 up to the time of the final payment to him in respect of his application.
