SB 1070, "Kenny's Law," requires all gates enclosing livestock areas to remain closed at all times, except during reasonable access for ingress/egress, maintenance, livestock movement, or necessary property access. It directly affects property owners, utility companies, and agencies managing livestock enclosures. Violations - leaving gates open, damaging gates, or allowing livestock escape - carry misdemeanor penalties of up to $2,500 fines or 1 year in jail for repeat offenses. The bill failed committee in February 2025 and would have taken effect November 2025 if passed.
