LIABILITY/CIVIL: Provides relative to liability for damages caused by livestock
This bill amends an existing law regarding liability for damages caused by livestock by making a minor punctuation change. Specifically, it updates the text to refer to a "Third-party" instead of "Third party" in the section discussing provocation. This procedural adjustment does not alter the substantive rules or outcomes for livestock owners or other individuals involved in such incidents. The change ensures consistency in the written language of the statute without introducing new policies or restrictions.
