The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5134, aims to amend the responsibilities of the Commissioner of Agriculture regarding rabbit processing in the state. The bill stipulates that the Commissioner will be responsible for inspecting rabbit processing facilities, conducting inspections of these facilities, and facilitating their ability to serve as direct food sources for consumers, including restaurants, individuals, and hotels.

This legislation seeks to establish a framework for the processing of rabbits for consumption, thereby enhancing local food sources and supporting the agricultural sector. The bill does not indicate any deletions from current law but introduces new responsibilities for the Commissioner of Agriculture to ensure the safety and availability of rabbit products in the state.
