(More) within 30 days of receiving any USDA official warning notice of alleged violation, settlement agreement or stipulation, administrative complaint, decision or order, or any other enforcement record, make such information publicly available.

The bill also allows an animal testing facility to omit information from public disclosure if such information is exempted from public disclosure under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act.
