30 to a lawful subpoena, summons, warrant or court order
31 that meets the requirements of subparagraph (d) of this

2 Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act.
3 (d) A credit union shall disclose financial records
4 under subparagraph (c)(2) of this Section pursuant to a
5 lawful subpoena, summons, warrant or court order only after
6 the credit union mails a copy of the subpoena, summons,
7 warrant or court order to the person establishing the
8 relationship with the credit union, if living, and otherwise
9 his personal representative, if known, at his last known
10 address by first class mail, postage prepaid unless the
11 credit union is specifically prohibited from notifying the
12 person by order of court or by applicable State or federal
13 law. In the case of a grand jury subpoena, a credit union
14 shall not mail a copy of a subpoena to any person pursuant to
15 this subsection if the subpoena was issued by a grand jury
16 under the Statewide Grand Jury Act or notifying the person
17 would constitute a violation of the federal Right to
18 Financial Privacy Act of 1978.
19 (e) (1) Any officer or employee of a credit union who
20 knowingly and wilfully furnishes financial records in
21 violation of this Section is guilty of a business offense

23 $1,000.
24 (2) Any person who knowingly and wilfully induces
25 or attempts to induce any officer or employee of a credit
26 union to disclose financial records in violation of this
27 Section is guilty of a business offense and upon
28 conviction thereof shall be fined not more than $1,000.
29 (f) A credit union shall be reimbursed for costs which
30 are reasonably necessary and which have been directly
31 incurred in searching for, reproducing or transporting books,
32 papers, records or other data of a member required or

34 summons, warrant or court order. The Director may determine,
-7- LRB9203170JSpcam
1 by rule, the rates and conditions under which payment shall
2 be made. Delivery of requested documents may be delayed
3 until final reimbursement of all costs is received.

25 calendar year exceeds 150% of the total administrative and
26 operational expenses under this Act for that year, such
27 excess shall be credited to credit unions and applied against
28 their regulatory fees for the subsequent year. The amount
29 credited to a credit union shall be in the same proportion as
