    (b) Comply with the same consumer protection laws that a domestic credit union must comply with when making a loan or providing other services in this state.

    (f) Meet any other requirements that the commissioner requires of domestic credit unions under this act.

    (3) The commissioner shall not grant approval under subsection (1) if the state or territory in which the credit union is organized does not permit credit unions organized in this state to do business in that state or territory.

    (4) This section does not exempt a foreign credit union from complying with the laws of this state to the extent compliance is otherwise required.

    (1) If in the opinion of the commissioner a foreign credit union is engaging, has engaged, or is about to engage in an unsafe or unsound practice in conducting the business of a credit union at a branch located in this state, or is violating, has violated, or is about to violate a state or federal law or a state or federal rule or regulation, the commissioner may notify any state or federal regulatory authority with jurisdiction over the foreign credit union of the practice or violation, or may issue and serve upon the foreign credit union a notice of intent to revoke the foreign credit union's authority to engage in business in this state. The notice shall contain a statement of the facts constituting the alleged unsafe or unsound practice or violation and inform the foreign credit union of its right to request a hearing within 10 days.

    (2) If a foreign credit union described in subsection (1) requests a hearing within the 10-day time period, the commissioner shall hold a hearing in accordance with the administrative procedures act of 1969, 1969 PA 306, MCL 24.201 to 24.328.

    (3) Within 60 days after the date of a hearing under subsection (2), the commissioner shall file a written decision containing his or her findings and serve a copy on the foreign credit union.
