(b) The department in conjunction with the Texas Animal Health Commission, not later than June 1, 2010, shall develop and maintain a process for a database to be shared by both agencies. The database must include the reporting data required to be provided by each deer breeder:
(1) to the department under this subchapter; and

(1) reduced fees for the deer breeder permit; and
(2) a permit with an extended duration.
