AN ACT PROHIBITING THE CULTIVATION OF OCTOPUS FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION AND THE USE OF OCTOPUS FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES.

HB 5900 prohibits the farming of octopus for human consumption and bans using octopus in entertainment settings. The bill directly affects businesses that farm octopus for food (like restaurants or food producers) and venues that use octopus in shows or exhibits (such as aquariums or entertainment parks). It amends state statutes to make these activities illegal, with no exceptions specified. The law focuses solely on banning these two specific uses of octopus, without addressing other octopus-related activities.
