This bill addresses poultry disease control in Kansas by authorizing the commissioner of the Kansas Department of Agriculture to establish fees related to the poultry disease control act. It prohibits the shipment of poultry into Kansas unless they meet specific plan requirements and establishes an annual participation fee for the national poultry improvement plan, as well as certification fees for individuals performing testing and diagnostic services related to pullorum-typhoid. The bill also grants the commissioner the authority to revoke plan participation for those who fail to pay the annual fee within a 60-day grace period.

The bill amends several sections of the Kansas Statutes Annotated (K.S.A. 2-909 through 2-915) and repeals the existing sections. Key amendments include the definition of terms related to poultry disease, the establishment of fees for plan participation and certification, and the requirements for poultry to be shipped into Kansas. Additionally, it outlines the responsibilities of individuals performing testing and diagnostic services, including reporting requirements and the consequences of non-compliance. The bill aims to enhance the control of poultry diseases and ensure the health of poultry populations in the state.
