HF 3549 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Use of the grain indemnity account modified.

This bill modifies Minnesota's grain indemnity account rules by adding a new requirement: funds cannot be transferred out of the account unless it holds more than $15 million. The account continues to pay valid farmer claims, premium refunds, administrative costs, legal fees, and trustee payments as before. The change specifically restricts fund transfers to prevent depletion when balances fall below $15 million. It directly affects the Minnesota Department of Agriculture, which manages the account for farmers and grain-related claims. The policy change is purely procedural, focusing on fund management without altering existing benefit eligibility or payment amounts.
