Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
6 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 5 costs, 0 mixed.
Lose plan status for nonpayment or outbreaks
After an investigation, the commissioner can revoke a hatchery’s plan status or clean designation. Revocation can follow repeated outbreaks or not paying the annual plan fee within 60 days after it is due. Losing status can block markets and hurt sales.
Quarantine rules and costs for infected flocks
If your flock is infected with pullorum-typhoid or fowl typhoid, the commissioner quarantines it. The flock stays quarantined until it is marketed under supervision, destroyed, or passes an official blood test. You must pay all testing and handling costs.
Hatcheries and breeders must meet clean standards
Hatcheries in Kansas must be designated under the national plan or meet equal rules set by the commissioner. Hatchery supply flocks must be U.S. pullorum-typhoid clean, and other birds on the same premises (not waterfowl) must test free by official blood tests. Poultry shipped into Kansas must come from U.S. pullorum-typhoid clean or equivalent sources that follow the plan. All hatcheries, flocks, and poultry products must follow plan steps to keep Kansas pullorum-typhoid clean.
Yearly fees and certified testing for poultry plan
Plan members pay up to $50 each year to take part. Testers must be certified each year and pay up to $50; certification ends the next September 30. If you ask the commissioner to test, you pay up to $100 per visit before testing. Only the commissioner, an authorized agent, or a certified tester can do testing that counts for plan participation. Labs must report Salmonella pullorum or gallinarum findings within 48 hours to the commissioner.
Kansas aligns with national poultry plan
The animal health commissioner can work with USDA under a formal agreement to run the national poultry plan in Kansas. The law also repeals older poultry disease statutes and updates the framework.
Rules for birds at fairs and shows
All poultry (not waterfowl) taken to a public show in Kansas must meet disease rules. Birds must be from a U.S. pullorum-typhoid clean flock or plan participant, have a negative test within 90 days, or be in an approved surveillance program. These steps reduce disease spread at events.
