OFA Fiscal Note
No Fiscal Impact
The amendment makes several changes to the underlying bill which
result in no fiscal impact.
It requires that the Department of Agriculture (DoAg) perform
surveillance testing for tuberculosis and brucellosis on each registered
milk producing herd. This has no fiscal impact since it is expected that
this is current practice.
The amendment also requires that dairy or breeding animals be
examined by a licensed veterinarian who would issue an interstate
health certificate. This has no fiscal impact as the amendment states the
testing would be done at the expense of the licensee.
Lastly, the amendment alters the definition of "owner-shipper
statement" which has no fiscal impact.
