Farmed Cervidae fencing requirements modifications

Summary

The bill changes Minnesota’s farmed cervidae fencing law, mandating 96‑inch high, high‑tensile perimeter fences and double‑gate entryways to stop animals from escaping or wild cervids from entering. It gives the Board of Animal Health authority to deem fences adequate, order repairs, impose fees, and revoke a facility’s registration for repeated violations. The changes aim to protect wildlife, farms, and public safety.
