(a) Each incorporator of a cooperative shall be a member of the cooperative or of another cooperative that is a member of it. A person may not become a member unless that person agrees to use electric energy, telephone or related telecommunications service, or other services furnished by the cooperative when they are made available through its facilities. (b) Membership in a cooperative is not transferrable, except as provided in the bylaws. The bylaws may (1) prescribe additional qualifications and limitations on membership; (2) require membership as a condition of obtaining service from the cooperative; (3) provide for termination or suspension of membership; however, a membership may not be terminated unless procedures for termination are contained in the bylaws.
