§ 36-01-30 — Feedlot registration - Rules - Penalty

No person may operate a registered livestock feedlot without obtaining a registration
number from the chief brand inspector. The board may adopt rules for the operation of feedlots
registered for the enforcement of brand inspection rules. Applications for registration must be
made upon forms as may be prescribed by the board and must be accompanied by a fee equal
to the fee charged for brand recording. All fees and any inspection fees established by the board
must be remitted regularly to the state treasurer for deposit in the North Dakota stockmen's
association fund. The board may adopt rules required for the purpose of assuring compliance
with brand laws, availability of brand inspection certificates, and maintenance of proper records.
A registration issued under this section may be revoked or suspended for violation of any law or
any rule adopted by the board under this section. In addition, any person violating this section or
any rule adopted by the board under this section is guilty of a class B misdemeanor. This
section does not prohibit the operation of nonregistered feedlots.
