House Bill 4117 modifies the Animal Industry Act to clarify regulations regarding the housing of certain animals, specifically egg-laying hens, gestating sows, and veal calves. The bill defines key terms like ‘cage-free housing system’ and ‘covered animal,’ and outlines specific requirements for their confinement, including minimum floor space and enrichment needs. It also establishes a delayed implementation date for some provisions, postponing full enforcement until January 1, 2029, for egg-laying hens and April 1, 2029, for gestating sows.
