Item 5.03  Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On August 8, 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission approved a new NASDAQ listing standard which requires listed companies to be eligible for participation in the Direct Registration System (“DRS”), which is currently administered by the Depository Trust Company. The Direct Registration System allows investors to have securities registered in their names without the issuance of physical certificates and allows investors to electronically transfer securities to broker-dealers in order to effect transactions without the risks and delays associated with transferring physical certificates. To meet DRS requirements and comply with the new NASDAQ listing standards, the Board of Directors of River Valley Bancorp (the “Corporation”) amended Article VI of the Corporation’s Code of By-Laws (the “By-Laws”), effective as of December 11, 2007, to permit the issuance of uncertificated shares, upon adoption by the Corporation’s Board of Directors of a resolution authorizing such issuance. The Board of Directors has no intention at this time to authorize uncertificated shares, but may decide to do so in the future.

The full text of the Bylaws, as amended, is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report, and amended Article VI thereof is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01  Other Events.

On December 11, 2007, River Valley Bancorp issued a press release announcing that the Board of Directors had declared a cash dividend of $0.21 per common share for the quarter ending December 31, 2007. The dividend is payable to shareholders of record on December 28, 2007. The press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
