HB 2439 abolishes the Texas Animal Health Commission and transfers all its functions to the Texas Department of Agriculture. It amends multiple sections of the Agriculture Code to reflect this transition, reassigning duties related to disease control, animal movement regulations, biosecurity, and livestock inspections to the Department of Agriculture. The bill also modifies procedures for animal health management, including disease testing, disposal of infected livestock, and emergency management responses.
