An Act relative to updating animal health inspections

This bill updates animal health inspection laws in Massachusetts by exempting specific facilities from certain requirements. It directly affects publicly and privately owned zoological parks, research institutions, and horse or cattle auctions. The key provision removes these entities from the scope of the existing inspection rules found in Section 39A of Chapter 129. By striking the previous paragraph and inserting new text, the legislation clarifies that these specific locations are not subject to the standard animal health inspections previously mandated.
