 Introduced by M. of A. LUPARDO -- (at request of the Department of Agri-
   culture  and  Markets)  --  read once and referred to the Committee on
   Agriculture
 
 AN ACT to amend the agriculture and markets law, in relation to domestic
   animal health permits
 
   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

   Section  1.  Section 90-a of the agriculture and markets law, as added
 by chapter 852 of the laws of 1960, is amended to read as follows:
   § 90-a. Declaration of policy and purposes.  Infectious and communica-
 ble disease affecting domestic animals continues to exist in this state,
 and the existence thereof endangers the health and welfare of the people
 of the state. Despite the moneys spent to control, suppress  and  eradi-
 cate  such  infection  and  disease  its incidence is the concern of the
 legislature. The powers of quarantine and condemnation  held  and  exer-
 cised  by the department of agriculture and markets tend to suppress but
 do not constitute an adequate control. It is hereby  declared  to  be  a
 matter  of legislative determination that a more exacting supervision of
 those who, as a business, WHETHER FOR PROFIT OR NOT-FOR-PROFIT, deal in,
 handle [and], transport, AND RESCUE domestic animals is  needed  in  the
 public  interest  and  that  in  the  exercise  of the police power such
 persons be required to hold a permit before engaging in such activities.
   § 2. Section 90-b of the agriculture and markets law,  as  amended  by
 chapter  91 of the laws of 1996, subdivisions 16, 17, 18 and 19 as added
 by chapter 328 of the laws of 1998 and subdivisions 20, 21, 22 and 23 as
 added by chapter 271 of the laws of 2001, is amended to read as follows:
   § 90-b. Definitions. As used in this article unless otherwise express-
 ly stated:
   1. [The term "wholesale cattle dealer" means any person  who  buys  or
 sells  cattle  as  a  business  enterprise. The term shall not include a
 person who buys or sells cattle as part of his  or  her  own  bona  fide
 breeding,  feeding  or  dairy  operation,  nor  to a person who receives
 cattle exclusively for slaughter on his or her own premises.

  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
