SS/SCS/SB 931 - The State of Missouri may support a voluntary animal identification program. The act prohibits the Missouri Department of Agriculture from mandating premises registration under the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Animal Identification System (NAIS) program unless the Department is specifically statutorily authorized to do so. Participants in the NAIS may withdraw from the program at any time and all of their personal information shall be deleted at the time of withdrawal unless a participant is part of an ongoing disease investigation. This act is similar to SB 428 (2007) and HB 478 (2007). ERIKA JAQUES
