This bill establishes a new chapter in Title 4.1 of the North Dakota Century Code, focusing on the state's participation in the United States swine health improvement plan. It defines "swine" as domestic swine raised for breeding, feeding, or slaughter. The bill outlines the duties of the agriculture commissioner, who will act as the official state agency to collaborate with the veterinary services program of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The commissioner is tasked with promoting the welfare and improvement of the swine industry and the marketing of swine and swine products within North Dakota.

Additionally, the bill grants the commissioner the authority to adopt necessary rules to implement the chapter's objectives. This legislative action aims to enhance the state's involvement in national swine health initiatives and support the local swine industry effectively.
