1. A cooperative shall keep correct and complete books and records of account and shall also keep minutes of the proceedings of meetings of its members, board, and executive committee. The cooperative shall keep at its principal office records of the names and addresses of all members and stockholders with the amount of stock held by each and of ownership of equity interests. At any reasonable time, any member or stockholder, or the agent or attorney of either, upon written notice delivered or sent to the cooperative at least one week in advance, may examine any books or records for a purpose that is proper and specified in the notice. 2. In any proceedings, or upon petition, any court of record may, upon notice and after hearing at which proper cause is shown, and upon suitable terms, order any of the cooperative's books or records, and any other pertinent documents in its possession, or duly authenticated copies thereof, to be brought within this state. The documents must be kept at the place and for the time and purposes the order designates. Any cooperative failing to comply with the order is subject to dissolution, and its directors and officers are guilty of contempt of court.
