It mandates the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to establish a pilot program focused on breeding deer genetically resistant to chronic wasting disease. The program includes collecting DNA samples from native free-range white-tailed deer to identify genetic markers, breeding deer with specific genetic traits, and monitoring for the disease.
