The long-term implications of these legislative initiatives remain unknown. Outside the tri-state region, a preponderance of proposed and recently enacted legislation pertaining to farm animal management and care also exists. Within the tri-state region, Michigan now has legislation stipulating requirements for housing of veal calves, egg-laying hens, and gestating pigs, Ohio has appointed a Livestock Care Standards Board to adopt rules governing the care and well-being of livestock and poultry, and Indiana has extended the rule-making authority of the Indiana Board of Animal Health to establish standards for the care of livestock and poultry.
State-based legislation continues to be proposed and enacted across the United States, varying from strict prohibition of particular housing systems in some states, to implementation of boards to formulate standards of animal care in other states.
