Minnesota HF40 removes requirement for fencing to prevent contact between farmed and free-roaming Cervidae and eliminates authority to revoke.

Minnesota HF40 amends the state's agriculture regulations by removing the requirement that fencing must prevent physical contact between farmed Cervidae and free-roaming Cervidae. It also eliminates the authority to revoke registrations for facilities that experience more than one escape incident in a six-month period or fail to correct deficiencies found during inspections. The bill maintains the requirement for fencing to prevent escape and entry by free-roaming Cervidae, and mandates that all new fencing and repairs must be high tensile.
