Bill > SB89

This bill amends the poultry disease control act to establish new regulations and fees for poultry disease management in Kansas. The bill authorizes the animal health commissioner to adopt rules for an annual participation fee (not to exceed $50) for entities participating in the National Poultry Improvement Plan (NPIP), a certification fee (also not to exceed $50) for those performing testing and diagnostic services, and a testing fee (not to exceed $100 per visit) for diagnostic services related to pullorum-typhoid and fowl typhoid diseases. The bill updates definitions of key terms like "poultry" and "plan" and sets requirements for poultry shipments into Kansas, mandating that all imported poultry must come from sources that are either NPIP participants or meet equivalent disease control standards. Additionally, the bill requires poultry to be tested for pullorum-typhoid and fowl typhoid before public exhibitions, mandates reporting of disease detection within 48 hours, and allows the commissioner to revoke plan participation for non-compliance, including failure to pay annual fees within a 60-day grace period. The changes aim to improve poultry disease control and management in the state by establishing clear guidelines, fees, and reporting mechanisms.
