HB 967 Engrossed 2016 Regular Session Thibaut
Abstract: Authorizes parish governing authorities to regulate livestock.
Present law authorizes police juries and other parish governing authorities to pass ordinances and
regulations relative to the marking, sale, and destruction of cattle, horses, and mules. Authorizes such
parish governing authorities to police cattle in cases not provided for by law and to fix the time in
which cattle may rove. Proposed law authorizes parish governing authorities to police livestock,
rather than cattle, and to fix the time in which livestock, rather than cattle, may rove.
