80-12-215 . Loan guaranty program.
(1)The authority may guarantee and make commitments to guarantee payment required by a loan funded under this chapter or any other agricultural loan for which a guaranty has been approved by the authority upon such terms and conditions as the authority may prescribe in accordance with this chapter. In administering the guaranty program, the authority may require the payment of a fee or premium, establish application fees, and prescribe application, notification, contract and guaranty forms, rules, and guidelines.
(2)Guaranties by the authority under this chapter must:
(a)be made for a loan that the authority finds meets the policies and objectives of this chapter;
(b)be made to an applicant for a guaranty approved by the authority;
(c)contain amortization provisions satisfactory to the authority; and
(d)be in such principal amount, be in such form, and contain such terms and provisions with respect to payment of property insurance, repairs, alterations, taxes, assessments, delinquency charges, and default remedies as the authority determines to be necessary.
(3)The authority is authorized from time to time to enter into guaranties, insurance contracts, or any other agreements or contracts with respect to the agricultural loan guaranty fund and any guaranteed loan or other credit agreement. Such an agreement or contract may contain terms and provisions necessary or desirable in connection with the guaranty program, subject to the requirements established, including without limitation terms and provisions relating to loan documentation, review, approval procedures, origination and servicing rights and responsibilities, default obligations, procedures and obligations, and obligations with respect to guaranty contracts made under this chapter.
(4)Any contract of guaranty made by the authority under the authorization of this chapter must provide that claims payable thereunder must be paid from amounts available in the agricultural loan guaranty fund and from amounts available under the terms of any applicable contract or agreement with the financial institution that originated the guaranteed loan. The obligation of the authority to make payments under such a contract is limited solely to such sources and does not constitute a debt or liability of the state. A guaranty contract and any rule or guideline of the authority implementing the guaranty program may contain such other terms, provisions, or conditions as the authority considers necessary or appropriate, including without limitation those relating to the payment of guaranty premiums, the giving of notice, claim procedure, the sources of payment for claims, the priority of competing claims for payment, the release or termination of loan security and borrower liability, the timing of payment, the maintenance and disposition of projects and the use of amounts received during periods of loan delinquency or upon default, and any other provision concerning the rights of insured parties or conditions to the payment of guaranty claims. Any premiums for the guarantee of loan payments under the provisions of this chapter may be determined on such basis and be payable by such person in such amounts and at such times as the authority determines, and the amount of the premium need not be uniform among the various loans, leases, or other credit agreements guaranteed.
