South Dakota modernizes animal industry definitions and updates federal regulatory references from January 1, 2021, to January 1, 2025. Carcass disposal now includes municipal or permitted solid waste landfills as an approved method alongside burning, burial, composting, and rendering.
AI-generated from the adopted rule text — verify against the official documents.
The effect of the rules will update definitions to more accurately reflect current terminology and to modernize language of reference material. 12:68:03:05 is being updated to add municipal or other permitted solid waste landfills to the rule to reflect current practice. The reason for adopting the proposed rules is to make definitions more consistent with national health programs and to allow for carcass disposal in a safe and secure method.
Moved by Rep. DeGroot, seconded, and passed 6-0 to deem the rulemaking process complete as proposed, updating definitions and adding permitted landfills as approved carcass disposal sites.
