Relating to: prohibiting the quarantine of certain animals based on exposure to chronic wasting disease.

AB 902 prohibits state agencies from quarantining certain animals solely due to exposure to chronic wasting disease (CWD) if the animals belong to species that neither carry nor are susceptible to CWD. It directly affects livestock owners, particularly those raising farm-raised fallow deer (Dama dama), by preventing unnecessary quarantines for these animals after exposure incidents. The bill creates new rules (sections 95.23(5) and 95.55(6)(c)) that block quarantine orders based only on exposure, while allowing other CWD-related measures for at-risk species. This policy change specifically targets non-susceptible animals, ensuring quarantine is not applied unnecessarily.
