approved by the director.

other organization which performs or will perform functions similar to those
of this association, or its equivalent, in two (2) or more states. Such a
corporation, association or organization shall be reimbursed as a servicing
facility would be reimbursed and shall be paid for its performance of any
other functions of the association. A delegation under this subsection shall
take effect only with the approval of both the board of directors and the
director, and may be made only to a corporation, association, or organization
which extends protection not substantially less favorable and effective than
that provided by this act.
