(Statehouse) – A bill authored by State Sen. Jean Leising (R-Oldenburg) to provide more protection for farmers through the Indiana Grain Indemnity Fund was ceremonially signed into law Wednesday by Gov. Mike Braun.
Senate Enrolled Act 461 requires grain dealers to be more fiscally responsible, keep accurate records on their purchases, and improve other regulations and procedures.
“I was happy to join Gov. Braun while he ceremonially signed this bill into law. Farmers are the backbone of Indiana’s economy, and their assets need to be properly protected,” Leising said. “The governor’s signing of this bill is a significant step forward in making sure grain dealers properly steward the resources of our state’s farmers.”
