Plain-language change summary

The latest version of the bill, SB 38, removes a previously proposed delayed repeal of fees on registered pet food. Instead of pushing the repeal to 2033, the new language completely eliminates any delay, making the repeal effective immediately. This change simplifies the law and could lead to lower costs for pet food makers and potentially lower prices for consumers, which may benefit pet owners in New Mexico.
