Agricultural marketing programs would refund payments after 10 years

Agricultural marketing programs would have to refund assessment money after 10 years. The limit covers assessments, the payments collected to fund an agricultural marketing program. Each person’s refund would be based on their share of the payments collected. The 10-year clock would start when the program receives the money. Programs already violating the limit on the law’s effective date would have two years from that date to issue refunds.
