Farmers win sweeping mining reform at Madison as Assembly passes Bill 568. The measure record leases within 30 days, allows 10 day cancel rights, extends to 90 days for public bodies to reconsider, caps leases at 50 years, requires rent and royalty details, and bans backdating. Does not apply to preexisting leases.
