The bill amends and reenacts specific sections of the North Dakota Century Code concerning pet food registration. It updates the definition of "labeling" to include not only written and printed information but also graphic information, promotional materials, and statements made through various media platforms such as radio, television, and internet interfaces. Additionally, the registration process for pet food and specialty pet food products is revised to include a renewal process, with different fee structures based on whether the product is manufactured in-state or out-of-state.

Furthermore, the bill introduces an exemption for residents of North Dakota who produce pet food in noncommercial kitchens and sell directly to consumers at community events or farmers' markets, provided they do not use certain animal byproducts in their products. The penalties for non-compliance remain, with a specified fine for each unregistered product. Overall, the bill aims to modernize the regulatory framework for pet food registration while ensuring consumer safety and clarity in labeling practices.
