Bill > HF2155

This bill repeals two specific sections of Minnesota Statutes related to rabies control and livestock sales. Specifically, the bill eliminates section 35.68, which previously outlined procedures for issuing proclamations during rabies outbreaks, including requirements for muzzling dogs and public notification processes. It also removes section 35.830, which previously mandated that livestock sellers provide detailed written bills of sale when selling branded animals, including requirements such as documenting seller and purchaser information, animal descriptions, and brand registrations. By repealing these sections, the bill effectively removes existing legal requirements for rabies outbreak management and documentation of livestock sales, potentially simplifying regulatory processes for local health boards, animal health officials, and livestock sellers. The bill does not provide alternative replacement language, meaning these specific regulatory provisions will no longer be in effect under Minnesota law.
