Farmed Cervidae provisions modified.

HF 1676 modifies Minnesota's rules for farmed deer (Cervidae) to strengthen chronic wasting disease (CWD) management. It requires annual herd inventory verification by veterinarians, 14-day reporting of deer movements, and mandatory CWD testing for deer over six months that die or are slaughtered. If CWD is detected, owners must depopulate herds within 30 days, maintain fencing for ten years, post biohazard signs, and disclose CWD history to future property buyers. The bill directly affects deer farmers and landowners in CWD-affected areas, adding specific reporting, testing, and long-term land-use restrictions. These changes aim to prevent CWD spread through stricter monitoring and response protocols.
