Effect on existing associations

The name, rights, powers, privileges, and immunities of associations heretofore incorporated in this State are governed, controlled, construed, extended, limited, and determined by the provisions of this chapter to the same extent and effect as if the association had been incorporated pursuant thereto. The articles of incorporation, certificate of incorporation, charter, bylaws, constitution, and other rules of these associations heretofore made or existing are hereby modified, altered, and amended to conform to the provisions of this chapter, with or without the issuance or approval by the Board of conformed copies of these documents, and the same are declared void to the extent that they are inconsistent with the provisions of this chapter. Notwithstanding the above provisions of this subsection, the obligations of any existing association whether between the association and its members or stockholders or other persons, or any valid contract between the members or stockholders of any association or between the associations and any other person existing on the effective date of this chapter, is not impaired by the provisions of this chapter. With this exception, these associations shall possess the rights, powers, privileges, and immunities and are subject to the duties, liabilities, disabilities, and restrictions conferred and imposed by this chapter, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in its articles, certificate of incorporation, bylaws, constitution, or rules.
