Change provisions of the Livestock Brand Act

The fee for physical inspections was reduced from $1.50 per head to $1.10 per head, and the fee for electronic inspections was similarly reduced from $1.50 to $1.10 per head.

The mileage charge for inspections was removed and replaced with a surcharge to cover travel expenses, simplifying the billing process for inspectors.

The bill now explicitly requires the Nebraska Brand Committee to define and redefine the term 'satisfactory evidence of ownership' to standardize how cattle ownership is proven.

New sections were added to define five specific brand committee districts, each comprising a unique set of Nebraska counties to streamline administrative oversight.

Provisions were updated to change 'licensing' to 'registration' and to clarify that brand inspections are required for cattle identified by hot iron or freeze branding unless electronic inspection qualifies.
