§ 36-15-21 — Calfhood vaccination against brucellosis required - Penalty

1. A person may not bring into this state or receive from outside this state any female
cattle over the maximum vaccination age prescribed in the brucellosis eradication
uniform methods and rules approved by the United States department of agriculture's
animal and plant health inspection service unless the cattle have been officially
calfhood vaccinated against brucellosis or a waiver has been granted by the board in
accordance with section 36-15-21.1. This subsection does not apply if the cattle
originate from a free state, a United States possession, or a Canadian province or
territory, which does not place requirements on North Dakota-origin female cattle
regarding calfhood brucellosis vaccinations or brucellosis testing before entry.
2. A person who brings female cattle into this state from a reciprocating free state, United
States possession, or Canadian province or territory shall prove that the cattle were
located in that state, possession, province, or territory for a period of at least sixty
days.
3. For purposes of this section, "officially calfhood vaccinated" means a female bovine
vaccinated against brucellosis as prescribed in the brucellosis eradication uniform
methods and rules approved by the United States department of agriculture's animal
and plant health inspection service.
4. In addition to other penalties provided in this chapter, a person who violates this
section is guilty of a class A misdemeanor.
