Amendment Text

PAG LIN
  1  1    Amend House File 2335, as amended, passed, and
  1  2 reprinted by the House, as follows:
  1  3    #1.  Page 8, by inserting after line 23 the
  1  4 following:
  1  5    "Sec. ___.  NEW SECTION.  10.8B  DISSENTING MEMBERS
  1  6 AND SHAREHOLDERS.
  1  7    If a farmers cooperative association is acquiring
  1  8 agricultural land or acquiring an interest in a
  1  9 farmers entity, the farmers cooperative association
  1 10 shall notify its members prior to the acquisition.
  1 11 The notice shall state the date that the farmers
  1 12 cooperative association will acquire the agricultural
  1 13 land or an interest in a farmers entity.  The notice
  1 14 shall be delivered to each member in person or by mail
  1 15 directed to each member's address as shown on the
  1 16 books of the farmers cooperative association.  A
  1 17 member of the farmers cooperative association may
  1 18 dissent, by filing a demand with the board of
  1 19 directors of the farmers cooperative association
  1 20 within twenty days after the date of acquisition as
  1 21 provided in the notice.  The farmers cooperative
  1 22 association shall pay to the member, upon surrender of
  1 23 that person's certificate of membership, the fair
  1 24 value of that member's interest as provided in section
  1 25 499.66 as if a member were dissenting to a merger or
  1 26 consolidation.  The farmers cooperative association is
  1 27 not required to honor a demand if the farmers
  1 28 cooperative association does not acquire the
  1 29 agricultural land or an interest in the farmers
  1 30 entity.  A member who fails to make demand within the
  1 31 twenty-day period is conclusively presumed to have
  1 32 consented to the acquisition."
  1 33    #2.  By renumbering as necessary.
