  Section 1. Subdivision 2 of section 451 of the banking law, as amended

  2. The qualifications for membership.
  [(a) Membership shall be limited to:
  (1) persons having a common employer;
  (2) persons and organizations who  are  members  of  the  same  trade,

  (3)  in  the case of a credit union incorporated under this chapter as
of the effective date of this subdivision, and with the approval of  the
superintendent,  which  approval  shall  not  be  given  if  it would be

thousand employees may be added upon receipt of a notice as provided  in
subdivision two of section four hundred seventy-eight of this article;
  (4)  with  the  approval  of  the  superintendent,  and subject to the
provisions of paragraph (b) of this subdivision,  more  than  one  group
each  of  which  has,  within  the  group,  a common bond of occupation,
including a common employer, or association; provided, however,  that  a
group  of  less  than three thousand members, which is within reasonable

receipt of a notice as provided  in  subdivision  two  of  section  four
hundred seventy-eight of this article; or
  (5)  persons  and organizations within a well-defined local community,
neighborhood or rural district and who in the  judgment  of  the  super-
intendent have such a community of interest as will insure proper admin-
istration.
  (b)  In  considering  an  application to add a group to a credit union
authorized under subparagraph four of paragraph (a) of this subdivision,
