The bill amends RCW 16.57.460 to require the Department of Agriculture to submit an annual livestock inspection program report by November 1, starting in 2023. This report will be provided to relevant legislative committees and the livestock identification advisory committee, detailing collected amounts, program expenditures, and recommendations for efficiency improvements and fee modifications. Additionally, the financial status of the program will be assessed to determine if a review of fees is necessary to ensure continued support.

Furthermore, the bill extends the expiration date for certain sections of the previous legislation from July 1, 2026, to July 1, 2030. This includes amendments to sections 7, 8, and 9 of the 2023 c 46, ensuring that the provisions remain in effect for an additional four years.
