Plain-language change summary

The bill SB 776 has updated its language regarding the definitions of commercially farmed animals. The term "avian" has been added to the list of animals covered, which now includes equine, avian, bovine, swine, and other grazing animals. This change is significant because it broadens the scope of the law to better protect a wider variety of farmed animals from theft, ensuring that all types of livestock and related agricultural operations are adequately safeguarded.
