A bill to amend 2003 PA 198, entitled “Farm produce insurance act,” by amending section 7 (MCL 285.317), as amended by 2016 PA 264.
House Bill 5001 would amend section 7 of the Farm Produce Insurance Act to specify the amount a voting member of the Farm Produce Insurance Authority Board may receive as per diem compensation and mileage reimbursement for attending board meetings or performing duties on behalf of the authority. The bill would limit the reimbursement amount established by the board to $75 for per diem compensation and mileage reimbursement. There are eight voting members of the board eligible to receive reimbursement. The board meets twice each year. While the act currently authorizes per diem compensation to board members, the act also limits the per diem to the maximum reimbursement rates for the Michigan Commission of Agriculture and Rural Development. The rates for the commission are currently $0.
