  6    amended to read as follows:
                                                                        
  7        25-610.  BRANDING OF POSITIVE REACTORS -- REVOKING ACCREDITATION OF VETER-

  9    in the state of Idaho, upon the receipt of such brucellosis  test  chart  from
 10    the laboratory, to brand clearly or have branded in his presence with a letter
 11    "B" not less than three (3) inches high, upon the left jaw, in accordance with
 12    the  U.S. department of agriculture's publication entitled "brucellosis eradi-
 13    cation: uniform methods and rules, effective October 1, 2003,"  and  place  an
 14    official  brucellosis  reactor tag in the left ear of any animals which show a
 15    positive reaction to the test in accordance with the code of  federal  regula-
 16    tion  definition  for  a  reactor. A statement that such reactors have been so
 17    branded will be made on the said chart and a copy  mailed  to  the  department
 18    within  forty-eight (48) hours after receipt of said chart. A copy of any bru-
 19    cellosis test chart which does not show positive reactors shall also be mailed
 20    to the department within forty-eight (48) hours after receipt of  said  chart.
 21    Failure on the part of any veterinarian authorized by law to make blood tests,
 22    appraise  reactors,  vaccinate  cattle  or other animals, or issue quarantines
 23    shall be cause for revocation of accreditation if he fails to comply with  all
 24    provisions  of  this  law, and such veterinarian shall no longer be allowed to
 25    perform any duties for the state of Idaho until he has been reinstated.
