Introduced

SB 542 - The act adds two additional eligible participants in the State Treasurer's linked deposit loan program: individuals who want to produce their own energy from renewable resources; and political subdivisions or other public entities seeking to finance capital improvements or other significant programs.

The act modifies criteria of several other eligible participants in the linked deposit loan program. It removes the requirement that alternative energy operations must sell fuel or power generated by their operations. It removes the requirement that farming operations must not possess more than 60% equity in the operation. The act makes an exception to the maximum loan per job requirement for job enhancement businesses that incur significant costs for equipment or capital improvements. The maximum number of employees of an eligible small business is increased from 25 to 100.
