Bill > HB1012

This bill makes a technical amendment to the Grain Code by modifying Section 1-5, which describes the purpose of the code. Specifically, the bill removes and replaces the word "the" in a sentence without substantively changing the meaning. The purpose of the Grain Code remains focused on promoting agricultural economic stability through the Illinois Grain Insurance Fund, which protects producers in case a licensed grain dealer or warehouseman fails. The code aims to ensure that persons with valid claims can be compensated for losses and that the Illinois grain industry can operate effectively within a coordinated regulatory structure. The bill emphasizes that the Grain Code should be interpreted liberally in favor of claimants and recognizes the grain industry's significant contribution to the state's economic health.
