Bill Summary

AN ACT REPEALING INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS AND PENALTIES RELATED TO DEAD ANIMALS IN FEEDLOTS; REPEALING SECTIONS 81-3-215 AND 81-3-232, MCA; AND PROVIDING AN IMMEDIATE EFFECTIVE DATE.

AI Summary

This bill repeals two specific sections of the Montana Code Annotated related to the inspection of dead animals in feedlots: section 81-3-215, which previously required inspections of dead animals in feedlots, and section 81-3-232, which established penalties for failing to inspect dead animals in feedlots. By removing these statutory requirements, the bill eliminates the legal mandate for farmers and ranchers to conduct inspections of dead animals in their feedlots and removes any associated legal consequences for not performing such inspections. The bill becomes effective immediately upon passage and approval, meaning the inspection requirements will be nullified as soon as the bill is signed into law. While the bill does not provide explicit reasoning for the repeal, it suggests a potential reduction in administrative burden or regulatory requirements for livestock operations in Montana.
