Summary

Primary Sponsor: Tom Whatley
Republican
Session: Regular Session 2014
Title: Agriculture and Industries Dept, public warehouses, permits, bonds filed with Commissioner of Agriculture and Industries, recording in office of judge of probate repealed, Sec. 8-15-8 repealed
Summary: SB93 would remove the requirement to record a public warehouse bond with the judge of probate.
What This Bill Does
Currently, public warehouse operators must have a permit and a bond approved by the Commissioner of Agriculture and Industries, and the bond must be recorded by the commissioner in the office of the judge of probate. The bill repeals the rule that the bond must be recorded with the probate office. After passage, bonds would still need to be approved by the commissioner, but the recording step with probate officials would be eliminated. The change becomes effective immediately after the bill is enacted into law.

Who It Affects
Public warehouse operators: continue to need a permit and a bond approved by the Commissioner of Agriculture and Industries, but the bond would no longer need to be recorded with the judge of probate.
Office of the judge of probate / probate staff: recording duties for public warehouse bonds would end, reducing related administrative tasks.

Key Provisions
Section 1 repeals Section 8-15-8 of the Code of Alabama 1975, which required recording of public warehouse bonds in the office of the judge of probate.
Section 2 states the act becomes effective immediately following its passage and approval by the Governor, or its otherwise becoming law.
