(2) The director may issue a permit to a credit union chartered in another state to operate in this state in a manner consistent with the Idaho credit union act, provided that the credit union applies for such permit on a form approved by the director and has approval from the regulator of credit unions in its home state to operate in Idaho. A credit union for which Idaho is a host state shall acknowledge that Idaho laws relating to consumer protection apply to transactions with residents in Idaho. The credit union for which Idaho is a host state shall maintain its books and records in Idaho or in such other place as the director may agree in writing. The director may, pursuant to chapter 52, title 67, Idaho Code, suspend or revoke the permit of any credit union for which Idaho is the host state for any violation of the Idaho credit union act.
(3) The director shall assess fees as provided in section 26-2136, Idaho Code, to be paid by a credit union for which Idaho is the host state on the basis of the assets of the credit union which are derived from its operations in Idaho.
