Senate Bill 1372 amends the Parks and Wildlife Code to require the Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) to waive the costs associated with the destruction of breeder deer at a facility covered by a deer breeder's permit where a breeder deer has tested positive for chronic wasting disease. However, the bill prohibits TPWD from waiving testing costs if TPWD determines that the permit holder or an agent of the permit holder caused either the introduction of chronic wasting disease into the facility or a delay in the detection of chronic wasting disease at the facility.
