California · Assembly · 2025–2026 Regular Session · last verified December 13, 2025

What AB 411 does, verified December 13, 2025

This bill would allow for the composting of livestock carcasses resulting from routine mortality events or on-farm processing, as long as certain requirements are met. The composting must be conducted in accordance with best management practices adopted by the Secretary of Food and Agriculture. The state veterinarian's waiver is no longer required for this specific type of composting. This change aims to reduce waste and promote more environmentally friendly practices in the livestock industry.
