biologics. This fee will allow the Idaho State Department of
Agriculture to maintain the level of animal disease surveillance
and control provided to Idaho’s livestock industry and animal
owners by providing a broad-based dedicated funding source to
stabilize the livestock disease control and T.B. indemnity fund.
FISCAL NOTE
There will be a positive fiscal impact of approximately $200,000
to the livestock disease control and T.B. indemnity fund.
