AB 732, as introduced, Cooper. Cattle inspection: exemption.
Existing law requires cattle to be inspected before being moved or transported under certain circumstances, including whenever cattle are sold. Existing law requires that inspection fees be paid at the point of inspection and that those fees be deposited into the Department of Food and Agriculture Fund.
This bill would exempt cattle that are being sold or whose ownership is being transferred from these inspection provisions if the individual or entity with a controlling interest in the cattle remains unchanged and if the cattle will not be moved or transported as part of the sale or change in ownership of the cattle.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: no.
