1 3 NEW SUBSECTION. 3. a. The department shall, by rule
1 4 pursuant to chapter 17A, annually establish nursery stock
1 5 prices for the sale of nursery stock at private sale that
1 6 reflect both the actual costs to the state, as required by
1 7 generally accepted accounting principles, of producing and
1 8 selling the nursery stock and the additional estimated private
1 9 enterprise costs, as required by generally accepted accounting
1 10 principles, that would be incurred if the state was a private
1 11 enterprise producing and selling similar nursery stock.
1 12 Private enterprise costs include but are not limited to the
1 13 following:
1 14 (1) The cost or value of the land on which the nursery
1 15 stock is produced.
1 16 (2) The cost or value of the buildings and equipment used.
1 17 (3) Repair and rehabilitation costs of the buildings and
1 18 equipment used.
1 19 (4) Personal property and corporate income taxes.
1 20 (5) Loan and interest costs.
1 21 (6) Salary and benefit costs of personnel.
1 22 (7) Insurance costs.
1 23 b. The department shall prepare an annual report at the
1 24 end of the fiscal year that contains all of the following:
1 25 (1) A projection of the demand for nursery stock of each
1 26 variety and size available for private sale, for the next
1 27 year.
1 28 (2) A projection of the demand for nursery stock of each
1 29 variety and size available for private sale, for the next five
1 30 years, updated annually.
1 31 (3) Sales information concerning the moneys received by
1 32 the department from the sale that year of nursery stock,
1 33 including the variety and size and amount of each kind of
1 34 nursery stock sold.
1 35 (4) A projection of the number of each variety and size of
2 1 nursery stock from any source, that will be produced for sale
2 2 and will be sold to be planted in the next year on federal,
2 3 state, and county lands and on other lands pursuant to state
2 4 and federal cost-sharing programs.
2 5 (5) Sales information concerning the actual number of each
2 6 variety and size of nursery stock from any source that was
2 7 produced for sale and was planted that year on federal, state,
2 8 and county lands and on other lands pursuant to state and
2 9 federal cost-sharing programs.
2 10 c. The department may sell nursery stock from state
2 11 nurseries at private sale as otherwise allowed by statute, but
2 12 the department shall not sell nursery stock at private sale in
2 13 an amount that exceeds twenty-eight percent of the total
2 14 demand projected for that year by the department for the uses
2 15 set forth under paragraph "b", subparagraph (4).
2 16 d. If the department sells nursery stock at private sale
2 17 during any year that exceeds twenty-eight percent of the
2 18 nursery stock that was actually sold that year for the uses
2 19 set forth under paragraph "b", subparagraph (4), the
2 20 department shall reduce the amount of nursery stock available
2 21 for sale for the following year by the same amount that
2 22 private sales exceeded the allowable amount for the previous
2 23 year. If the department sells nursery stock at private sale
2 24 during the previous year that is twenty-eight percent or less
2 25 of the nursery stock that was actually sold that year for the
2 26 uses set forth under paragraph "b", subparagraph (4), the
2 27 department shall continue to meet the requirements of
2 28 paragraph "c" for the following year without any adjustments.
2 29 EXPLANATION
2 30 This bill relates to the private sale of nursery stock by
2 31 state nurseries. The bill provides that the department of
2 32 natural resources, by rule adopted pursuant to Code chapter
2 33 17A, shall annually establish nursery stock prices for the
2 34 sale of nursery stock at private sale that reflect both the
2 35 actual costs to the state of producing and selling the nursery
3 1 stock and the additional estimated private enterprise costs of
3 2 producing and selling similar nursery stock that would be
3 3 incurred if the state was a private enterprise.
3 4 "Private enterprise costs" are defined to include but are
3 5 not limited to the cost or value of land on which the nursery
3 6 stock is produced, the cost or value of buildings and
3 7 equipment used, repair and rehabilitation costs of buildings
3 8 and equipment used, personal property and corporate income
3 9 taxes, loan and interest costs, salary and benefit costs of
3 10 personnel, and insurance costs.
3 11 The bill also requires the department to prepare an annual
3 12 report at the end of each fiscal year that contains a
3 13 projection of the demand for nursery stock available for
3 14 private sale for the following year; a projection of the
3 15 demand for nursery stock available for private sale for the
3 16 next five years, updated annually; sales information
3 17 concerning the moneys received by the department from the sale
3 18 of nursery stock; a projection of the number of each variety
3 19 and size of nursery stock available from any source that will
3 20 be produced for sale and will be sold in the next year to be
3 21 planted on federal, state, and county lands and on other lands
3 22 pursuant to state and federal cost-sharing programs; and
3 23 information concerning the actual number of each variety and
3 24 size of nursery stock available from any source that was
3 25 produced for sale and was sold that year to be planted on
3 26 federal, state, and county lands and on other lands pursuant
3 27 to state and federal cost-sharing programs.
3 28 The bill provides that the department may sell nursery
3 29 stock from state nurseries as otherwise allowed by statute,
3 30 but the department shall not sell nursery stock at private
3 31 sale in an amount that exceeds 28 percent of the total demand
3 32 projected for that year by the department to be planted on
3 33 federal, state, and county lands and on other lands pursuant
3 34 to state and federal cost-sharing programs.
3 35 The bill also provides that if the department sells nursery
4 1 stock at private sale in an amount that exceeds the allowable
4 2 percentage of the nursery stock that was actually sold that
4 3 year to be planted on federal, state, and county lands and on
4 4 other lands pursuant to state and federal cost-sharing
4 5 programs, the department shall reduce the amount of nursery
4 6 stock available for sale for the following year by the same
4 7 amount that private sales exceeded the allowable amount for
4 8 the previous year. If the department sells less nursery stock
4 9 at private sale during the previous year than the allowable
4 10 percentage of actual amounts sold, the department is still
4 11 limited by the allowable percentage requirements without any
4 12 adjustment.
