NORTH CAROLINA GENERAL ASSEMBLY
1981 SESSION

CHAPTER 392
SENATE BILL 350

AN ACT TO ACCOMMODATE FEDERAL PREEMPTION OF STATE LAWS REGULATING THE FEEDING OF GARBAGE TO SWINE.

Whereas, the Congress of the United States has passed the Swine Health Protection Act, P.L. 96‑468, to protect the nation's hog industry from swine fever and other infectious swine diseases associated with feeding garbage to swine; and
Whereas, continuation of the State permit program for regulating the feeding of garbage to swine would amount to an unnecessary duplication of the federal program; Now, therefore,

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

Section 1. G.S. 106‑405.2 is amended by adding a new subsection as follows:
"(d)	This Part shall not apply to any person who holds a valid federal permit under the Swine Health Protection Act, P.L. 96‑468."
Sec. 2. This act is effective upon ratification.
In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 14th day of May, 1981.
