The 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 commissioner is also granted the authority to revoke participation in the plan if the annual fee is not paid within a 60-day grace period.

Several sections of the existing law are amended, including definitions of terms such as "commissioner," "hatchery," and "poultry," with specific deletions and insertions to clarify the language. The bill also outlines the requirements for hatcheries and poultry flocks, including compliance with testing and diagnostic services, and establishes penalties for non-compliance. The existing sections of K.S.A. 2-909 through 2-915 are repealed, and the act will take effect upon publication in the statute book.
