STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 11730
The purpose of this proposed legislation is to maintain, as well
as modernize, the law governing mandatory calfhood vaccination of
female cattle against brucellosis. The proposed legislation
would require the director to designate in rules the vaccine to
be utilized, the dose to administered, the age range of cattle
that may be vaccinated, the method for identification of
vaccinated cattle, the form and contents of reports to be made of
cattle vaccinated and provisions for strict enforcement of this
legislation.
Female cattle that are not vaccinated shall not be utilized for
breeding or dairy purposes. Such cattle shall only be fed out in
an approved feedlot. Female cattle that enter Idaho and are not
vaccinated may only be fed out in approved feedlots and shall be
utilized for slaughter only. Female cattle that enter Idaho for
breeding or dairy purposes would be allowed and required to have
an adult vaccination.
The proposed legislation, sets for civil penalties for any person
violating the provisions of this chapter which are not less than
$100 nor more than $5,000 for each offense.
FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact to the General Fund.
