Agriculture and Industries Dept, public warehouses, permits, bonds filed with Commissioner of Agri and Industries, recording in office of judge of probate repealed, Sec. 8-15-8 repealed

Summary

SB111 would repeal the requirement that a public warehouse bond be recorded with the judge of probate.

What This Bill Does

Currently, public warehouse operators must obtain a permit and a bond approved by the Commissioner of Agriculture and Industries, and that bond must be recorded in the office of the judge of probate. SB111 would remove the obligation to record the bond with the probate office. The permit and bond-approval requirements would remain, but the probate-recording step would be eliminated. The act would take effect immediately after it is enacted and approved by the Governor.

Who It Affects

• Public warehouse operators: no longer need to have their bond recorded with the judge of probate; other permit and bond requirements remain.
• Office of the Judge of Probate: would no longer handle recording of public warehouse bonds, reducing its duties related to these bonds.

Key Provisions

• Repeals Section 8-15-8, which required the bond for a public warehouse to be recorded in the office of the judge of probate.
• Effective date: the act becomes effective immediately following its passage and approval by the Governor.
