SB 2 - This act modifies the livestock price discrimination
provisions. The livestock discrimination provisions will be
construed consistently with the Federal Packers and Stockyards
Act as it relates to live cattle, swine or sheep. New price
discrimination language is added which prohibits livestock
packers from engaging in certain activities and is similar to the
requirements of the Federal Packers and Stockyards Act. The
Attorney General will enforce the provisions and the Director of
the Department of Agriculture will refer violations to the
Attorney General. The ability of an individual to bring suit is
repealed. The provisions of these sections will sunset on
December 31, 2002.
