TN Bill Refuses NAIS
A bit of good news from the great state of Tennessee:
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF TENNESSEE:
SECTION 1. Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 44, Chapter 7, is amended by adding
the following as a new, appropriately designated part: Section 44-7-501. At no time shall department of agriculture funds or any other state funds be appropriated to effectuate the implementation of the National Animal Identification System (NAIS).
HOUSE BILL 3297
Introduced by Frank Niceley
I hope that legislators in other states will find their courage and fight against the USDA’s unconstitutional implementation of the National Animal Identification System (NAIS). NAIS should be kept 100% voluntary and safeguards should be implemented to prevent it from trampling on our Constitutional rights.
This is matched by Tennessee Senate Bill 3258 sponsored by Senator Tim Burchett.
Senator Burchett and Representative Niceley should be applauded for standing up for reason and sanity against the heavy handed pressures of the USDA’s attempt to take away our traditional Constitutional rights to farm and live a rural life. We don’t need a nanny state government interference micro-managing our lives. May the legislators in my own state of Vermont, as well as other states, find their courage to prevent government interference in the lives of citizens.
Tennessee residents may wish to write their representatives who’s email and postal addresses can be found at the state web site.
