|
|
SECTION 1. Subchapter L, Chapter 43, Parks and Wildlife |

|
Code, is amended by adding Section 43.369 to read as follows: |
|
|
Sec. 43.369. DEER BREEDER DATABASE. (a) In this section, |
|
|
"database" means a deer breeder database used by the department. |
|
|
(b) The department in conjunction with the Texas Animal |
|
|
Health Commission, not later than June 1, 2010, shall develop and |
|
|
maintain a process for a database to be shared by both agencies. |
|
|
The database must include the reporting data required to be |
|
|
provided by each deer breeder: |
|
|
(1) to the department under this subchapter; and |
|
|
(2) to the Texas Animal Health Commission. |
|
|
(c) To the extent possible, the department and the Texas |
|

|

need for a deer breeder to submit duplicate reports to the two |
|
|
agencies. |
|
|
(d) The Parks and Wildlife Commission and the Texas Animal |
|
|
Health Commission, by rule, shall provide incentives to deer |
|
|
breeders whose cooperation results in reduced costs and increased |
|
|
efficiency by offering: |
|
|
(1) reduced fees for the deer breeder permit; and |
|
|
(2) a permit with an extended duration. |
|
|
(e) The Parks and Wildlife Commission and the Texas Animal |
|
|
Health Commission may adopt rules to implement this section. |
|
|
SECTION 2. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives |
|
|

|
|
provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this |
