Kentucky SB155 amends definitions and provisions related to animal health emergencies and emergency declarations.

Kentucky SB155 amends the Kentucky Revised Statutes to redefine terms related to animal health emergencies and emergency declarations. It specifies that an "animal health emergency" involves incidents threatening livestock, poultry, or other domesticated animals, potentially causing disease spread, starvation, injury, or loss of life. The bill also outlines the powers of the Governor and the Commissioner of Agriculture during such emergencies, including the ability to enforce laws, direct emergency response, and procure necessary goods and services.
