This bill amends the existing law regarding applications to the cost of care fund for livestock by introducing a new requirement for reimbursement applications. Specifically, it mandates that applicants must demonstrate to the commissioner that the livestock in question were seized lawfully and that this seizure occurred after consulting with individuals who possess experience and professional knowledge in the care of the seized livestock. This addition aims to ensure that the care of livestock is handled appropriately and that the process of seizure is conducted with the necessary expertise.

The bill inserts a new paragraph (III-a) into RSA 437-B:1, which outlines these requirements for applications related to livestock care. There are no deletions from the current law mentioned in the text. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage, ensuring that the new guidelines are implemented in a timely manner.
