SB 809 Michigan Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Agriculture: animals; certain definitions in the privately owned cervidae producers marketing act; modify. Amends secs. 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14 & 17 of 2000 PA 190 (MCL 287.952 et seq.).

This bill updates specific definitions in Michigan's law governing privately raised deer and elk (cervidae) producers. It directly affects ranchers who breed and sell these animals by clarifying terms like "cervidae," "producer," and "marketing" in the existing legal framework. The amendments streamline terminology across multiple sections of the law without creating new requirements or altering operational rules for producers.
