                                BILL NUMBER:S2531

TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the soil and water conservation
districts law, in relation to establishing a drain tile revolving loan
program

PURPOSE:

This bill establishes a revolving loan program dedicated to providing
farmers with low interest loans for the addition of drain tile to
their fields.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 amends the Soil and Water Conservation Districts Law by
adding new section 4-a providing that the Soil and Water Conservation
Committee shall establish and maintain a drain tile revolving loan
program which provides low interest loans to farmers for the purpose
of adding drain tile to their fields. This section also provides that
the Soil and Water Conservation Committee shall promulgate the rules
and regulations necessary to carry out the provisions of the bill.
Lastly, this section establishes that the amount of funds in the
revolving loan program shall be subject to a budgetary appropriation
and provides that the loans must be within the amount available in the
drain tile revolving loan program.

Section 2 provides the effective date.

JUSTIFICATION:

For a piece of land to be agriculturally viable for planting and
growing, it must have the right conditions. One of the factors that
can prevent a piece of land from being suitable for planting and
farming is the amount of subsurface moisture present.  Too much
subsurface moisture prevents root development and inhibits the growth
of crops. It can also make it difficult for farm equipment to access
the land.

The installation of drain tile is often the best way to treat
excessive amounts of subsurface water on an otherwise viable piece of
farm land. The addition of drain tile draws the moisture further down
into the soil and then provides a way for it to drain effectively,
thus lowering the water table on a piece of land. By lowering the
water table, plants are able to develop stronger roots to better
absorb the oxygen and other nutrients present in the soil.

The installation of drain tile, although effective in treating
subsurface water, is costly. Therefore, this bill seeks to aid farmers
in the installation of drain tile in their fields by creating a
revolving loan fund that will provide low interest loans to farmers
for the costs associated with the installation of drain tile in their
fields.  The Soil and Water Conservation Committee shall administer
the fund as outlined in the sections of this bill.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

2013-2014: S.5482/ A.7706


FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

Subject to budgetary appropriation.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after it
shall have become a law; provided, however, that any rules and
regulations necessary to implement the provisions of this act on its
effective date are authorized to be made on or before such date.
