Plain-language change summary

The amended version of SB 6151 adds provisions that specify two exceptions to the main rules regarding ultrasound use. First, it clarifies that individuals can use ultrasounds on their own livestock or animals without restriction. Second, it allows emergency medical personnel to perform ultrasounds as needed during their job duties. These changes are important because they ensure that animal owners and emergency responders can continue to provide necessary care without legal complications.
