| AN ACT concerning grain.
|
2 |
| Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, |
3 |
| represented in the General Assembly:
|
4 |
| Section 5. The Grain Code is amended by changing
Section |
5 |
| 1-5 as follows:
|
6 |
| (240 ILCS 40/1-5)
|
7 |
| Sec. 1-5. Purpose of this Code . It is
the primary purpose |
8 |
| of this Code to promote the State's welfare by
improving the |
9 |
| economic stability of agriculture through the
existence of the |
10 |
| Illinois Grain Insurance Fund in order to protect
producers in |
11 |
| the event of the failure of a licensed grain dealer or
licensed |
12 |
| warehouseman and to ensure the existence of an adequate
|
13 |
| resource so that persons holding valid claims may be |
14 |
| compensated
for losses occasioned by the failure of a licensed |
15 |
| grain dealer or
licensed warehouseman.
To that end, this Code |
16 |
| shall be liberally construed and liberally
administered in |
17 |
| favor of claimants.
|
18 |
| In addition, the Illinois grain industry comprises a |
19 |
| significant and vital
part of the State's economy and as such |
20 |
| can function to its fullest competitive
and profitable |
21 |
| potential, thus contributing to the economic health of this
|
22 |
| State, when it operates under a coordinated and integrated |
23 |
| regulatory
structure. Thus, a further purpose of this Code is |
24 |
| to provide a single system
of governmental regulation of the |
25 |
| Illinois grain industry.
