The legislation requires veterinarians, veterinary diagnostic laboratories and/or persons having care, custody or control of livestock, exotic livestock, bison, domestic or exotic fowl to report certain diseases to the Texas Animal Health Commission (TAHC) within 24 hours of diagnosis. If enacted this legislation is not expected to have a significant fiscal impact on TAHC operations.
