The bill proposes the creation of a new chapter in Title 4.1 of the North Dakota Century Code, which focuses on the participation of the agriculture commissioner in the United States swine health improvement plan. It includes definitions, specifically defining "swine" as domestic swine raised for breeding, feeding, or slaughter. The bill outlines the duties of the commissioner, which include serving as the official state agency to collaborate with the veterinary services program of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, promoting the welfare and improvement of the swine industry, and adopting necessary rules to implement the chapter's purposes.

Additionally, the bill emphasizes the importance of the state's participation in the swine health improvement plan and aims to enhance the marketing of swine and swine products within North Dakota. The commissioner is tasked with ensuring that the state's objectives align with federal initiatives to improve swine health, thereby supporting the local agricultural economy.
