Bill Summary
As introduced, bases indemnity payments for an animal that is destroyed to prevent the spread of disease on the fair market value of the animal, subject to available funds. - Amends TCA Title 44.
AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee law to clarify how payments, known as indemnities, are calculated when an animal is destroyed to prevent the spread of disease. Specifically, it establishes that these indemnity payments will be based on the animal's fair market value, meaning what it would be worth in a normal sale, but this payment is subject to the availability of funds. If there aren't enough funds to cover the full fair market value, partial reimbursement may be provided. The bill also states that an owner might not receive any indemnification if they are not complying with the relevant laws. Importantly, this bill itself does not provide any money; any funds for these payments must be specifically allocated in the state's general budget.
