Representative Curry, prime sponsor, presented SB 09-151 concerning the regulation of slaughterers of livestock through the Department of Agriculture, and allowing such function to expire on schedule and reassigning certain regulatory functions to the state board of stock inspection commissioners. The bill allows the Colorado Slaughter's Act to expire as scheduled on July 1, 2009, but continues the requirement to inspect brands prior to the slaughter of an animal to verify its ownership. The brand inspection requirement is moved to the State Board of Stock Inspection Commissioners at the Department of Agriculture.

02:47 PM -- Rick Wahlert, Colorado Brand Board, spoke in favor of the bill and responded to questions from the committee regarding verifying ownership of diseased animals and who the brand ispection requirements in the bill would apply to.
