2011 - 2012 LEGISLATURE

SENATE SUBSTITUTE AMENDMENT 1, TO 2011 SENATE BILL 396

February 27, 2012 - Offered by Senator Harsdorf.

SB396-SSA1,1,2 An Act to create 20.115 (2) (e) of the statutes; relating to: the livestock premises registration program and making an appropriation.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law generally requires a person who keeps livestock at a location in this state to register the location with the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP). The law authorizes DATCP to create exemptions from the registration requirement by rule. Current law also authorizes DATCP to contract with an agent to administer the livestock premises registration program.

This substitute amendment appropriates $250,000 from the general fund to DATCP for administration of the livestock premises registration program in fiscal year 2012-13. The substitute amendment transfers $250,000 from the working lands fund to the general fund in fiscal year 2012-13. The substitute amendment also requires DATCP to make a budget proposal for providing sufficient future funding for the program.
