HB 1230 Passes Both Houses and Sent to Governor!
Financing the Seed Regulatory Program in Indiana
Indiana's system of financing its seed regulatory program is very unique compared with most other states. For the purpose of defraying the costs of inspection, analysis, publication, and other expenses incurred in the administration and enforcement of the seed law, an inspection fee system was included in the first law that generated fees from distributors in the business of selling seed in the state of Indiana.
These fees are based on the kind and amount of seed sold and permit holders are required to report their distribution and pay the assessed fees based on kind and amount sold. These fees have comprised the entire operating budget of the Office of Indiana Seed Commissioner. No money is received from the State of Indiana to support the existence and operation of the seed regulatory program. Please review the attached legislation which is currently moving in both the House and Senate chambers:
