HB 1803 -- National Animal Identification System

Sponsor:  Kelly

This bill prohibits the Department of Agriculture from
participating in any animal identification program that may be
required under the National Animal Identification System (NAIS)
administered by the United States Department of Agriculture
without specific authorization from the General Assembly, except
to serve as a registration agent for private marketing programs
that require NAIS premise identification.

The department is allowed to participate in any voluntary or
private animal identification program for the sole purpose of
adding value to Missouri livestock.
