THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 14002 of the Financial Code is amended to read:

   14002.  A credit union is a cooperative, organized for the
purposes of promoting thrift and savings among its members, creating
a source of credit for them at rates of interest set by the board of
directors, and providing an opportunity for  them 
 the members  to use and control their own money on a
democratic basis in order to improve their economic and social
conditions. As a cooperative, a credit union conducts its business
for the mutual benefit and general welfare of its members with the
earnings, savings, benefits, or services of the credit union being
distributed to its members as patrons.
