AR SB550

Renames the Arkansas Livestock and Poultry Commission to the Arkansas Board of Animal Health and renames associated funds accordingly (e.g., "Livestock and Poultry Special Revenue Fund" becomes "Animal Health Special Revenue Fund")

Transfers administrative and operational authority from the commission to the Department of Agriculture while retaining the board's rulemaking and regulatory powers over animal health, disease control, veterinary licensing, and related programs

Modifies board composition to require exactly three veterinarian members (one each from poultry, large animal, and general practice) rather than the previous requirement of at least two veterinarians

Repeals several outdated provisions including the Division of Markets and Grading, equine identification chip monitoring requirements, contracts for brand administration with private entities, and equine infectious anemia research facility certification

Updates references throughout Arkansas Code in over 89 sections affecting areas including veterinary medical practice licensing, egg marketing, meat inspection, livestock brands, disease control programs, and retirement benefits for agency employees
