- Charge the commission with assessing the state's vulnerability and preparedness
- Require the commission to develop recommendations for prevention, response, and mitigation strategies
- Mandate the commission to submit a report to the legislature within one year of its formation
Affected Parties and Impacts: The bill would primarily impact the state's poultry industry, public health authorities, and emergency management agencies. The findings and recommendations of the commission could lead to changes in regulations, funding, and emergency planning to address the H5N1 threat.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: As a proposed bill, the legislation is currently in the early stages of the legislative process. If passed, the special commission would be established, and its report would be due within one year of its formation.
