What’s in it
This bill requires the department of agriculture and land stewardship (DALS) to conduct a study regarding the long-term continuance of the grain depositors and sellers indemnity fund. The items of study may include the administration of the fund, participation in the fund, contributions made to the fund, risks to the fund, claims against and on behalf of the fund, and the optimal balance and optimal waiver amounts. DALS must evaluate possible methods to indemnify sellers of grain who execute deferred-payment contracts. DALS may consult with the Iowa grain indemnity fund board and must seek comments from persons who have an interest in the fund’s operation. DALS must submit a report to the governor and general assembly not later than December 15, 2020.
