Maddy summaryHB 3680 increases fees for registering, renewing, and inspecting livestock brands in Oregon.

These fees are collected by the Oregon Department of Agriculture to fund brand registration and inspection services. The bill modifies existing statutes without changing the core process for brand registration or inspection requirements.
