HB 1993 with a identical companion in the Senate are headed to Local and Consent and Resolution Calendar, today. This looks good to pass. Its good news for anyone here (might just be Chance and I ) that catch stray cattle for the sheriffs depts. The process is being streamlined. If you are in the cattle business, better take a look at the changes in the law.
Here is the committee substitute that was accepted and sent to Local and Consent.
