Yesterday, April 8, a bill that would allow horse processing plant development in Tennessee passed the state’s House Finance Subcommittee by a slim 7-6 margin, according to TheHorse.com. The measure now moves on for full Finance, Ways and Means and Budget Committee consideration.
HB 1428 allows the Tennessee Department of Agriculture to establish licensing, inspection, operational regulations and fees for horse processing plants.
