Farmed Cervidae fencing requirements modified.

Summary

The bill raises the minimum fence height for farmed cervidae to eight feet, mandates high‑tensile material, and requires two backup gates. It also sets rapid repair timelines, inspection fees, and gives the Board of Animal Health power to revoke a farm’s registration and order animal removal if fences fail. The goal is to keep farmed deer, elk, and similar animals from escaping or contacting wild herds.
