U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 505. Amendment or revocation of charters; suits by and against associations
The charters of any cooperative association organized pursuant to
section 504 of this title shall not be amended or revoked by the
Secretary except after a majority vote of the membership. Such
cooperative associations may sue and be sued in any court of the
State of Oklahoma or of the United States having jurisdiction of
the cause of action, but a certified copy of all papers filed in
any action against a cooperative association in a court of Oklahoma
shall be served upon the Secretary of the Interior, or upon an
employee duly authorized by him to receive such service. Within
thirty days after such service or within such extended time as the
trial court may permit, the Secretary of the Interior may intervene
in such action or may remove such action to the United States
district court.
