The Senate Agriculture & Rural Affairs Committee has scheduled SB 682 by Eltife for public hearing on Monday, March 23rd at 3 pm in E1.012 at the Capitol. TLC will testify in support of this bill, which would keep USDA's National Animal Identification System (NAIS) voluntary in Texas until it becomes mandatory at the federal level and would also allow participants to withdraw from the program at any time.
SB 682's companion in the House, HB 3322 by Kleinschmidt, has been referred to the House Agriculture & Livestock Committee but has not yet been scheduled for a hearing.
