§ 12-16-110.5. Credit sale contracts

(1) When a dealer or small-volume dealer purchases farm products for which payment has not been made, the dealer or small-volume dealer, within thirty days after the receipt of the farm products, shall provide the producer or owner of the farm products with a credit sale contract. The credit sale contract must contain the following information:

(a) The type and quantity of farm products purchased and the date of purchase;

(b) The charges for handling, if any;

(c) The name and address of the producer or owner and the signature of the dealer or small-volume dealer or the authorized agent thereof;

(d) The contract number required pursuant to subsection (4) of this section; and

(e) One or more statements specified by the commissioner by rule, including one that warns a producer that entering into a credit sale contract entails a risk that the bond may not completely protect the producer from loss in the event of a failure of the dealer or small-volume dealer.

(2) Records of a dealer or small-volume dealer shall be retained for a period of two years and shall reflect those credit sale contracts that have been cancelled and those that are still open. Such records shall be kept at the dealer's or small-volume dealer's place of business at all times.

(3) An annual report of the status of all of a dealer's or small-volume dealer's credit sale contracts may be required by the commissioner.

(4) All credit sale contracts entered into by a dealer or small-volume dealer shall be consecutively numbered by the dealer, and copies thereof shall be made available for inspection by the commissioner or the commissioner's authorized agents.
