March 20, 2019

TO:	Honorable Senfronia Thompson, Chair, House Committee on Public Health
FROM:	John McGeady, Assistant Director     Sarah Keyton, Assistant Director Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB410 by White (Relating to the regulation of certain low-volume livestock processing establishments.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would modify the requirements of personal use exemption in the Health and Human Safety Code, Chapter 433. Livestock owners of domestic rabbits who give or sell carcasses, parts of carcasses, meat, or food products derived from not more than 500 domestic rabbits in any calendar year would be exempt from inspection. The Department of State Health Services expects the number of persons or facilities which would be exempt from inspections or regulations would be very small, and anticipates that any costs associated with implementing this bill could be absorbed within existing resources.

 

The bill would take effect September 1, 2019.

Local Government Impact

No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
