Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Egg and poultry businesses face fewer requirements
North Dakota ends this chapter’s licensing requirements for egg and poultry buyers, sellers, and producers. The law also removes class A misdemeanor penalties, including for knowingly making false statements in related documents. Individuals and all types of businesses still face civil penalties of up to $1,000 per violation of the chapter or its rules. Courts can assess penalties, or the agriculture commissioner can assess them through an administrative hearing with an independent hearing officer. The commissioner can also bring civil lawsuits in the state’s name to enforce these rules.
State retail poultry grading duties end
North Dakota ends the agriculture commissioner’s duty to provide or oversee retail poultry grading and enforce grade labels. Sellers face less required state oversight, while shoppers lose that required state grading service. The commissioner still must promote better breeding, the poultry industry, and poultry marketing, and adopt rules for the chapter. The commissioner must also work with the state animal health board to control and eliminate contagious poultry diseases. The commissioner oversees state participation in the national poultry improvement plan in cooperation with federal agriculture agencies.
