NY A10110

Expands domestic animal health permit requirements to include persons who rescue cattle, swine, horses, cervids, camelids, sheep, goats, or poultry, in addition to those who buy, sell, deal in, or transport such animals.

Consolidates multiple species-specific dealer definitions into a single unified "dealer" definition covering cattle, horses, swine, cervids, camelids, poultry, goats, and sheep, with exemptions for bona fide breeding/farming operations and personal use.

Requires all animals subject to permit requirements to be identified by official ear tag, registration number, distinctive tattoo, electronic identification device, or other unique permanent mark, or by official backtag if moved directly to slaughter.

Permits valid for two-year periods with renewal applications due at least thirty days before expiration; application fee remains fifty dollars with applicants required to disclose any history of infection or contagion among animals handled during the past five years.

Updates permitting authority language to add "rescue" operations as grounds for permit denial or revocation and replaces gendered pronouns with gender-neutral terminology throughout the statute.
