HB 1662 -- Diseased Animals

Sponsor:  Brown (149)

This bill specifies that any animal or bird under investigation
by the State Veterinarian for carrying a toxin must not be
removed from the premises until certain conditions are met.  The
State Veterinarian will be authorized to choose the method of
eradication of the toxin and may implement a holding period
restricting the movement of any animal or bird under
investigation for the presence of a toxin.  Once an investigation
is completed, the animal or bird must be released from the
holding period or must be permanently quarantined by the State
Veterinarian or his or her representative.
