Senate Bill 1586 amends the Parks and Wildlife Code to require the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, in conjunction with the Texas Animal Health Commission, to develop and maintain a process for a database to be shared by both agencies to eliminate the need for a deer breeder to submit duplicate reports to the two agencies. The bill requires the database to include the reporting data required to be provided by each deer breeder to the department under provisions regarding a deer breeder's permit and to the commission. The bill requires the department and the commission to provide incentives to deer breeders whose cooperation results in reduced costs and increased efficiency by offering reduced fees for the deer breeder permit and a permit with an extended duration.
