LIVESTOCK - Adds to existing law to define terms; and to provide for livestock removal requirements.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
This legislation closes a loophole in current code and rule that allows trichomoniasis test-eligible bulls to be removed from a trader lot and returned to the country for breeding purposes without the appropriate trichomoniasis testing. In addition, it adds a new section of code definitions and livestock removal requirements for approved feedlots, approved trader lots, buying stations, livestock dealers, and livestock markets. Currently these definitions and removal requirements are found in various places in code and rule and this legislation consolidates them in one code section.
