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 bill modifies the registration process for pet food and specialty pet food products, requiring both an application form and a fee structure that differentiates between products manufactured in-state and out-of-state. The registration fee is set at $50 for in-state products and $100 for out-of-state products.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a new 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 $25 fine for each unregistered product. Overall, the bill aims to streamline the registration process while ensuring that pet food labeling and registration requirements are clear and comprehensive.
