Eliminates the permit option for commercial breeders, dealers, and public auctions, requiring them to operate under state licenses instead of federal licenses with state permits, subjecting them to the same regulations as other state licensees including standard of care, recordkeeping, and inspection requirements

Requires the Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship (DALS) to inspect each commercial establishment at least once annually during its authorization period, rather than permitting discretionary inspections

Imposes a reinspection fee of $150 plus mileage costs when DALS must conduct more than one inspection during an authorization period due to standard of care violations

Doubles maximum civil penalties from $500 to $1,000 per day for violations by authorized commercial establishments, and from $1,000 to $2,000 per day for operating without authorization

Repeals Code sections 162.10C and 162.12 to eliminate duplicative provisions regarding disciplinary actions and monitoring of permittees
