This bill requires the Department of Agriculture to establish a controlled livestock grazing program in order to provide standards for controlled livestock grazing operations in the clearing of vegetation from land. The bill specifies minimum requirements to be included in the program.
A person who desires to conduct a controlled livestock grazing operation must obtain a permit from the Department. A person who meets the requirements of the program and obtains a permit may temporarily place structures or enclosures for livestock used in the operation. These structures or enclosures do not have to comply with the state fencing requirements.
The bill creates the "Controlled Livestock Grazing Program Fund" used for the implementation and administration of the controlled livestock grazing program.
This bill is the same as HB 2043 (2024).
