CPL has signed on to “letters of support” for the Grassley/Tester SB3693 and the Prime Act HR2859 bills in the last few months. The first bill is called the “50/14” which would require all packer processing plants to purchase a minimum of 50% of their weekly purchases in the “spot” (negotiated cash) market to be delivered within 14 days.
