Section 32B. A natural person not more than 18 years of age or not less than 65 years of age may choose 1 demand deposit account and 1 savings account upon which no service, maintenance or other similar charge shall be imposed; provided, however, that any such demand deposit account and any such savings account shall each include a joint account in which the spouse of the eligible depositor, if applicable and regardless of age, is the joint tenant therein or the joint tenant would otherwise be an eligible depositor and that has been established and used for personal, family or household purposes. Such account shall not be subject to: (i) a minimum balance requirement; (ii) a charge for a deposit or withdrawal; or (iii) a fee for the initial order or subsequent refills of the basic line of checks offered by the credit union, which shall include the name of the depositor. A savings account in trust for another person shall be covered by the notice, services, fee and charge provisions of this section only if the trustee is a person not more than 18 years of age or not less than 65 years of age.

A credit union may assess a fee against an account under this section for certain services in accordance with the credit union's published service charge schedule, which shall include stop payment orders, wire transfers, certified or bank checks, money orders, deposit items returned, transactions at electronic branches and through other electronic devices and a reasonable charge, as determined by the commissioner, against any such account when payment on a check or other transaction on the account has been refused because of insufficient funds or paid despite insufficient funds. A credit union shall post in each of its credit union offices a notice informing consumers of the availability of the credit union services under this section and shall disclose annually to all depositors, in a manner of its choosing, the provisions of this section.
