Senate Bill No. introduced by S. Morigeau, D. Zolnikov, and D. Fern aims to revise laws related to garbage feeding, specifically prohibiting the inclusion of packaging materials in garbage fed to swine. The bill amends several sections of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA), including definitions of "garbage" to clarify that it encompasses waste material derived from animal meat and other food handling processes, while explicitly excluding packaging materials that do not contain animal products. This change is intended to ensure that only appropriate waste is used in feeding swine, thereby promoting animal health and safety.

Additionally, the bill revises the penalties for violations of garbage feeding regulations. It maintains the misdemeanor classification for violations but clarifies that a court may issue an injunction to prevent repeated offenses. Each day a violation occurs is considered a separate offense, reinforcing the seriousness of compliance with these regulations. Overall, the bill seeks to enhance the safety and regulation of garbage feeding practices in Montana.
