Bill > H2253

This bill updates an existing law related to animal health inspections by modifying Section 39A of Chapter 129 of the Massachusetts General Laws. Specifically, the bill changes an existing paragraph that provides exemptions from certain animal health inspection requirements. The bill maintains existing exemptions for publicly or privately owned zoological parks and research institutions (as defined in section 136A of chapter 140) and horse or cattle auctions. While the original context of the full animal health inspection law is not provided in the bill text, the amendment appears to be a technical adjustment to clarify or refine the scope of animal health inspection regulations. The modification ensures that these specific types of animal facilities or events continue to be excluded from the general animal health inspection requirements outlined in the broader statute.
