Episode: Romanski: Fee Hike Necessary To Fund Programs Currently In A Deficit
Description: DATCP Secretary Randy Romanski talks to Farm Director Pam Jahnke about the proposed changes to ATCP 10 and ATCP 12 to increase fees for livestock auction markets, dealers, and truckers. The public comment period starts Sep. 11. The rulemaking process can take up to 2.5 years. Romanski says there hasn't been a fee increase since 2008-2009. The fees bring revenue to support essential services, such as animal health administration, which is currently operating at a deficit.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
