What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Current law generally requires a person who keeps livestock at a location in this state to register the location with the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP). The law authorizes DATCP to create exemptions from the registration requirement by rule. A person who is required to register must provide information to DATCP, including information about the type of livestock kept and the type of livestock operation being conducted at each location. DATCP assigns a premises identification code to each location that is registered. The system for assigning codes must be designed to facilitate disease control and must comply with any federal standards. DATCP must generally keep confidential the information provided by registrants, but may disclose that information if it determines that disclosure is necessary to prevent or control disease.
This bill makes the livestock premises registration program voluntary.
