Assembly Bill 928 proposes an amendment to the current livestock registration requirements under Wisconsin law. Specifically, it modifies the stipulations in section 95.51 (2) (b) 4. by removing the obligation for individuals who keep livestock to submit information using standards and guidelines from the National Animal Identification Plan (NAIP) developed by the federal Department of Agriculture. This change is intended to streamline the registration process for livestock premises by eliminating outdated requirements that are no longer in effect.
The bill is presented as remedial legislation, requested by the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection, and aims to make minor substantive changes that reflect current public policy needs. By removing the reference to the NAIP, the bill seeks to simplify compliance for livestock owners while still requiring them to provide essential information about the type of livestock and operations at their premises.
