(a) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in the laws of this state providing for investments by credit unions, such credit unions may invest under written investment policies established by the board, in the bonds, debentures or other similar obligations issued under the authority of and pursuant to the act of congress known as the farm credit act of 1971, as amended. The total amount of such bonds, debentures or other similar obligations of any one obligor or maker shall at no time exceed 15% of the shares, undivided earnings and reserves of the credit union.

(b) Subject to rules and regulations of the administrator, credit unions may invest in a credit union services organization under written investment policies established by the board, if the credit union services organization is structured as a corporation, limited liability company or limited partnership. Subject to rules and regulations of the administrator, credit unions may make loans to such credit union services organization, except that any such investment in or loans to such credit union services organization shall not exceed, in the aggregate, 2% of the credit union's shares, undivided earnings and reserves. "Credit union services organization" means an organization established to provide operational and financial services primarily to credit unions.

Except for obligations of wholly owned government corporations, or obligations that provide a return of principal and interest that is guaranteed by an agency of the federal government, the total amount of such investment securities of any one obligor or maker held by the credit union shall at no time exceed 15% of the shares, undivided earnings and reserves of the credit union.
