Relating to livestock brands.
HB 3680 increases fees for registering, renewing, and inspecting livestock brands in Oregon. It directly affects livestock owners (especially cattle and sheep producers) and businesses like auction markets that collect these fees. Key changes include raising the maximum activation fee from $100 to $200, the maximum renewal fee from $100 to $200 (with sheep at $50), and increasing brand inspection fees for cattle/hides to $1.35-$1.75 per head and $2.50 per hide. These fees are collected by the Oregon Department of Agriculture to fund brand registration and inspection services. The bill modifies existing statutes without changing the core process for brand registration or inspection requirements.
