AGRICULTURE/FOREST DEPT: Provides relative to meat and poultry inspection. (gov sig)
This bill makes minor technical corrections to the state's meat and poultry inspection laws by updating specific scientific classifications. It changes the spelling of two animal family names from "cervidea" and "bovidea" to their correct forms, "cervidae" and "bovidae," and adds a hyphen to a numerical range. These adjustments ensure the legislation accurately identifies the types of animals covered by inspection requirements without altering the underlying policy. The changes affect the Department of Agriculture, Forestry, Aquaculture, and Rural Development, which oversees the inspection process.
