The Levelland City Council approved Ordinance No. 1122 on second reading to amend the city's livestock regulations and allow keeping livestock and swine consistent with the Generally Accepted Agricultural Practices (GAAP) promulgated by Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service. The minutes reference House Bill 1750 (effective Sept. 1, 2023) as the legislative backdrop restricting local prohibitions of generally accepted agricultural practices.
