Sen. Nichols proposes statewide standard allowing up to four hens for household egg production
Summary
Senator Nichols presented RS 33485 to let occupants of single-family homes keep up to four hens for household egg production only; the committee voted to send the RS to print by voice vote.
Senator Nichols presented RS 33485, saying the legislation "establishes a minimum statewide standard allowing residents of single-family homes to engage in limited household egg production." She explained the proposal would permit families to keep up to four hens and would not authorize commercial egg production in residential neighborhoods.
The committee discussed the narrow scope and nutritional rationale for the bill. Senator Foreman moved to send RS 33485 to print and Senator Lent seconded; the motion carried by voice vote. No recorded roll-call tally was made during the voice vote.
