The bill titled "AN ACT CONCERNING RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE LEGISLATIVE COMMISSIONERS' OFFICE FOR TECHNICAL CHANGES TO ENVIRONMENT-RELATED STATUTES" (Substitute Senate Bill No. 295, File No. 297) proposes technical amendments to environment-related statutes. The bill includes changes to the definitions and regulations concerning the sale of livestock animals and the supervision of commission sales stables by the Commissioner of Agriculture. It specifies the licensing requirements for those engaged in the business of selling livestock animals at public auctions, including the annual application for a license, the fee, and the conditions under which a license may be revoked. The bill also outlines the procedures and health requirements for dairy and breeding animals sold at auctions, as well as the handling of animals consigned for slaughter.

Additionally, the bill addresses the supervision of state lands acquired for public recreation or the preservation of natural beauty or historic association by the Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection. It includes the insertion of "File No. 297" to identify the bill and corrects a typographical error by changing "cosigned" to "consigned." Furthermore, it makes a grammatical correction by changing "purposes" to "purpose" in the context of the supervision of public reservations. The bill is effective upon passage and does not have any fiscal impact as it only makes minor technical and grammatical corrections to certain agriculture and environment-related statutes. The Environment Committee has given a Joint Favorable report on the bill.
