Concerning livestock identification.
SB 5485 extends the expiration dates for several provisions related to livestock identification in Washington state. It prolongs the requirement for the Department of Agriculture to submit an annual report on the livestock inspection program, detailing finances, expenditures, and recommendations, until July 1, 2030, instead of July 1, 2026. The bill also extends the sunset dates for other related sections of a 2023 act concerning livestock identification. These changes ensure that the state's framework for tracking livestock and overseeing the program's financial status remains in effect for an additional four years.

MINOR
The document changed from a draft bill text to a formal certification of enrollment, confirming that Senate Bill 5485 was passed by both the Senate and the House of Representatives in the 2025 Regular Session. This update adds official signatures, vote counts, and filing dates, transforming the bill into a legally enacted law without altering its substantive policy content.
Scope change
The scope of the bill's applicability remains unchanged; the text now serves as an official record of passage rather than the operative law itself.
TECHNICAL
Added certification header, vote counts, and signatures from the Senate President, House Speaker, and Secretary of the Senate to formally validate the bill's passage.
Inserted filing details including the Secretary of State's approval and the specific dates the bill was passed by each chamber.
Removed the draft bill identifier 'S-0656.1' and the original bill text, replacing them with the final enrolled version.
