This bill amends section 54-1,108 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, which pertains to the Livestock Brand Act. It introduces changes to the fees associated with physical and electronic inspections of cattle, increasing the maximum fee for both types of inspections from one dollar and ten cents to one dollar and fifty cents per head. Additionally, the bill eliminates the mileage charge previously incurred by inspectors, replacing it with a surcharge of up to thirty dollars to cover travel expenses for inspections. The bill also harmonizes provisions and removes obsolete language from the existing law.

Furthermore, the bill allows for electronic inspections of enrolled cattle identified by approved nonvisual identifiers, streamlining the inspection process by not requiring agency employees to be present, except for random audits. It mandates that a certified bill of sale and transportation permit be provided to qualified dairies for calves under thirty days of age, with fees aligned with those for electronic inspections. The original section of the law is repealed, and the bill is declared to take effect immediately upon passage due to the existence of an emergency.
