On June 11, 2013, the PA House returned Senate
Bill 526 back to the Senate for reconsideration. The bill, which concerns
sanitation standards for livestock being transported for the purpose of
exhibition, was passed in the Senate on May 14, 2013 and was sent to the House
for consideration. The bill requires
that owners of animals at exhibitions must present a valid Pennsylvania health certificate
or an interstate veterinary certificate of inspection proving a veterinary
consultation relationship to the operator of the exhibition. The House made amendments
to the bill and passed its version on June 11, 2013. The next step will be for
the Senate to reconsider the bill and, if no amendments are made, the bill will
be sent to the Governor for approval.
