An Act to Amend Act No. 4142
Commonwealth Act No. 155, enacted on November 9, 1936, amends a previous law to empower chartered cities, municipalities, and municipal districts in the Philippines to establish and regulate slaughterhouses. The act allows these local government units to charge reasonable fees for the slaughter of animals, while exempting the fees for veterinary or sanitary inspections of meat from large cattle or other domestic animals slaughtered outside their jurisdiction. The law aims to ensure proper inspection and regulation of slaughterhouses to maintain public health standards. This act took effect immediately upon approval, as it was enacted without the need for executive approval.
