An act to amend 1939 PA 141, entitled “An act to regulate the storage, warehousing, buying, and selling of farm produce within this state; to provide for the licensing, regulation, and bonding of grain dealers; to provide for warehouse receipts, acknowledgment forms, and price later agreements and their use and priority; to provide for the creation of security interests; to provide for certain powers and duties of the department of agriculture and its director; to impose certain duties on insurance companies and sureties; and to provide administrative remedies and penalties for the violation of this act,” by amending section 7 (MCL 285.67), as amended by 2004 PA 274.
House Bills 4998 and 4999 would respectively amend sections 7 and 6 of the Grain Dealers Act to extend the time provided to the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) to issue or deny an initial or renewal license under the act. Currently, the department has not more than 30 days after it receives a complete application from an applicant. Under the bills, it would have not more than 60 days after that time.
