Text

Exception.
1. Except as otherwise provided by this chapter or by rule, all domestic animals and
nontraditional livestock brought into this state must be accompanied by a certificate of
veterinary inspection certifying that the animals are free from symptoms of all
contagious and infectious diseases, and that the animals meet disease testing and
vaccination requirements prescribed by rule. Animals originating in other countries
must be tested for diseases, as determined by the board, until a risk assessment is
completed for the disease. If the board determines that an unacceptable risk exists,
the board may deny entry, require additional testing, or require a vaccination.
2. The requirement for a certificate of veterinary inspection is waived for cattle, sheep,
bison, and swine originating directly from a producer's premises and not diverted
en route, if the waiver is approved by the state veterinarian and the cattle, sheep,
bison, or swine are delivered for sale directly to a licensed auction market or other
premises approved by the state veterinarian.
3. The board may require certification indicating that animals entering this state from a
foreign country and intended for human consumption have not been treated with drugs
that are disallowed under federal law for use in animals intended for human
consumption.
4. The board may adopt rules to implement this section.
