126.30126.30Grain warehouse keepers; fund assessments.
126.30(1)(1)General. A contributing grain warehouse keeper shall pay an annual fund assessment for each license year. Except as provided in sub. (5m), the assessment equals $20 or the sum of the following, whichever is greater, unless the department by rule specifies a different assessment:
126.30(1)(a)(a) The grain warehouse keeper’s current ratio assessment. The current ratio assessment for a license year is the amount, expressed as dollars, equal to the grain warehouse keeper’s current ratio assessment rate under sub. (2) multiplied by the number of bushels that the grain warehouse keeper reports under s. 126.26 (2) (e) or (10).
126.30(1)(b)(b) The warehouse keeper’s debt to equity ratio assessment. The debt to equity ratio assessment for each license year is the amount, expressed as dollars, equal to the grain warehouse keeper’s debt to equity ratio assessment rate under sub. (4) multiplied by the number of bushels that the warehouse keeper reports under s. 126.26 (2) (e) or (10).
126.30(2)(2)Current ratio assessment rate. A grain warehouse keeper’s current ratio assessment rate is calculated, at the beginning of the license year, as follows:
126.30(2)(a)(a) If the grain warehouse keeper has filed an annual financial statement under s. 126.28 and that financial statement shows a current ratio of at least 1.25 to 1.0, the grain warehouse keeper’s current ratio assessment rate equals the greater of zero or the current ratio assessment factor in sub. (3) (a) multiplied by an amount determined as follows:
126.30(2)(a)1.1. Subtract one from the current ratio.
126.30(2)(a)2.2. Divide the amount determined under subd. 1. by 3.
126.30(2)(a)3.3. Multiply the amount determined under subd. 2. by negative one.
126.30(2)(a)4.4. Raise the amount determined under subd. 3. to the 3rd power.
126.30(2)(a)5.5. Subtract 0.75 from the current ratio.
126.30(2)(a)6.6. Divide 0.65 by the amount determined under subd. 5.
126.30(2)(a)7.7. Raise the amount determined under subd. 6. to the 5th power.
126.30(2)(a)8.8. Add the amount determined under subd. 4. to the amount determined under subd. 7.
126.30(2)(a)9.9. Add 2 to the amount determined under subd. 8.

(3) (b) multiplied by the following amount:
126.30(2)(b)1.1. Subtract one from the current ratio.
126.30(2)(b)2.2. Divide the amount determined under subd. 1. by 3.

126.30(2)(c)(c) If the grain warehouse keeper has filed an annual financial statement under s. 126.28 and that financial statement shows a current ratio of less than or equal to 1.0 to 1.0, the warehouse keeper’s current ratio assessment rate equals the current ratio assessment factor in sub. (3) (b) multiplied by 120.81376.
126.30(2)(d)(d) If the grain warehouse keeper has not filed an annual financial statement under s. 126.28, the warehouse keeper’s current ratio assessment rate equals the current ratio assessment factor in sub. (3) (b) multiplied by 5.71235.

(5) (a) multiplied by the following amount:
126.30(4)(a)1.1. Subtract 4 from the debt to equity ratio.
126.30(4)(a)2.2. Divide the amount determined under subd. 1. by 3.
