A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 4079 AS INTRODUCED 1-28-99
The bill would amend the General Property Tax Act to include breeding and grazing captive cervidae for commercial or retail sale under the definition of "agricultural operations." The bill would not apply to cervidae intended for recreational operations or operations that allow only hunting of captive cervidae for sport. The bill cites the definition of "captive cervidae" in the Animal Industry Act of 1987, where that term refers to members of the cervidae family, including, but not limited to, deer, elk, moose, and caribou living under the husbandry of humans.
