Bill > SB622

This bill proposes several changes related to fees for animal markets, dealers, truckers, and transport vehicles, as well as various animal health registrations and certifications. It introduces new fees for services such as issuing certificates of veterinary inspection, certifying tuberculosis-free herds of bovine animals, farm-raised deer, and goats, and certifying brucellosis-free herds of bovine animals, swine, goats, and sheep. The bill also establishes fees for pseudorabies-negative swine herd certifications, intermediate livestock handling facility certifications, and permits for importing foreign equine animals, including a quarantine station permit. For farm-raised deer, it sets annual registration fees based on herd size and specific conditions, and introduces surcharges for operating without a required certificate and late fees for expired registrations. Similarly, it outlines annual registration fees for different types of fish farms, with additional fees for medical separation inspections, surcharges for operating without a certificate, and late fees. The bill also defines different classes of animal market licenses (Class A, B, and E) with corresponding annual license fees, and establishes a $150 reinspection fee for animal markets, animal dealers, and animal truckers if violations are found. Furthermore, it sets annual fees for animal trucker licenses and animal transport vehicle registrations, and introduces a $150 reinspection fee for animal trucker operations. Finally, it creates a new definition for "intermediate livestock handling facility" and establishes fees for approved feed lot permits, including late fees.
