The bill amends Arkansas law regarding surveyors by introducing new requirements for those intending to enter commercial poultry farms. Specifically, it defines a "commercial poultry farm" as any poultry operation with structures exceeding 5,000 square feet. Before a surveyor can enter such a farm, they must notify the owner and adhere to all visitor protocols established by the farm, which includes following biosecurity measures.
This legislation aims to enhance the safety and security of commercial poultry operations by ensuring that surveyors take necessary precautions before accessing these properties. The inclusion of specific notification and protocol adherence requirements reflects a commitment to protecting the health and integrity of poultry farming practices in Arkansas.
