HB 1884 -- National Animal Identification System

Sponsor:  Dethrow

This bill allows the Department of Agriculture to support a
voluntary animal identification program subject to
appropriations.  The department is prohibited from mandating
National Animal Identification System (NAIS) premises
registration or participation in the NAIS administered by the
United States Department of Agriculture without specific
authorization from the General Assembly.

Any person who participates in the NAIS may withdraw from the
system at any time, and all personal information related to a
participant will be deleted from the system unless the
participant is part of an ongoing disease investigation.

Any entity receiving state funds for the purpose of conducting a
state-sponsored activity is prohibited from requiring premises
registration as a condition of participation.
