This bill revises county predator control laws to include goats, allowing county commissioners to establish a predatory animal control program specifically for their protection. It authorizes a per capita license fee on goats, which applies to those 9 months of age or older, and aligns the age threshold for the per capita annual assessment of livestock. The bill also provides for the deposit of proceeds from the sale of predatory animal skins into a dedicated fund for predator control, ensuring that local goat owners can petition for and recommend actions related to the program.

Additionally, the bill amends existing laws regarding the per capita license fees for sheep and cattle, changing the age threshold for these animals to 9 months as well. It establishes a framework for the collection and management of these fees, which will be used to fund the predatory animal control efforts. The amendments aim to streamline the process and ensure that the funds are effectively utilized for the protection of livestock, including goats, from predatory animals.
