Relating to state financial administration; and declaring an emergency.
SB 5503 approves specific new or increased fees adopted by Oregon's State Department of Agriculture for agricultural and food-related services, effective July 1, 2025. The bill lists exact fees, including $1.35 per head of cattle for brand identification, $100 for industrial hemp vendor licenses, and $25 for unique identification at food establishments. These fees directly affect livestock producers, agricultural businesses, food handlers, and animal rescue organizations that use state-regulated services. The legislation includes an emergency declaration to expedite the fee implementation without delaying the July 1, 2025, effective date.

MODERATE
The bill was finalized from 'A-Engrossed' to 'Enrolled' status, adding official signatures and page numbers while retaining the same fee structure for the Oregon Department of Agriculture. The substantive policy content remained unchanged, with fees for livestock branding, agricultural inspections, hemp licenses, and weighing equipment staying the same. The only notable change is the addition of the emergency declaration specifying July 1, 2025 as the effective date.
