RECONSTRUCTION OF RECORDS.
1. The department may inspect the premises used by any grain
dealer in the conduct of the dealer's business at any time. The
department may inspect a grain dealer's records that pertain to grain
transactions during ordinary business hours. The department shall
inspect a grain dealer's records at least once each eighteen-month
period without justification. The department shall prioritize
inspections based on the system provided in section 203.22. The
department may use a risk rating produced by a statistical model
provided in section 203.22 as justification to conduct an inspection.
A transporter of grain in transit shall possess bills of lading or
other documents covering the grain, and shall present them to any law
enforcement officer on demand. If there is justification to believe
that a grain dealer is engaged without a license as required pursuant
to section 203.3, the department may inspect the grain dealer's
records which pertain to grain transactions at any time.
2. If a grain dealer does not maintain a place of business in
this state, the department is not required to inspect the grain
dealer's records. A grain dealer shall submit the grain dealer's
records relating to grain transactions occurring within this state to
the department for purposes of an inspection as provided in this
section at any reasonable time and place, including the offices of
the department during regular business hours, as ordered by the
department.
3. A grain dealer shall keep complete and accurate records. A
grain dealer shall keep records for the previous six years. If the
grain dealer's records are incomplete or inaccurate, the department
may reconstruct the grain dealer's records in order to determine
whether the grain dealer is in compliance with the provisions of this
chapter. The department may charge the grain dealer the actual cost
for reconstructing the grain dealer's records, which shall be
considered repayment receipts as defined in section 8.2. Section History: Early Form
