2014 House Bill 5432

Revise swine definitions

Introduced in the House

March 26, 2014

Introduced by Rep. Greg MacMaster (R-105)

To define "feral or wild swine" as swine that have lived any part of their life as free roaming or not under the husbandry of humans, and “native swine" as swine born and raised or legally imported into this state. Shortly before the bill’s introduction a state court ruled that regulations against keeping wild boars, Eurasian wild boars and similar exotic varieties used in “sporting swine” hunting operations are too vague to be enforceable.

Referred to the Committee on Agriculture
