Currently, a number of provisions 6 2 in the chapter govern the movement of swine. For example, 6 3 swine from a quarantined herd cannot be removed from the herd 6 4 except directly to slaughter or a concentration point. 6 5 However, feeder swine may be removed from a herd for further 6 6 feeding to a premises approved by the department. This is 6 7 referred to as "restricted movement". 6 8 The bill provides that infected swine or swine that are 6 9 part of an infected herd must be moved by restricted movement, 6 10 regardless of whether the swine are part of a quarantined 6 11 herd. The bill provides that if swine that are moved from 6 12 their herd must be moved by restricted movement, the swine can 6 13 only be moved by direct movement to a slaughtering 6 14 establishment, unless the department authorizes restricted 6 15 movement of the swine to a concentration point approved by the 6 16 department or feeder swine to an approved premises under 6 17 permit in the same manner as provided for quarantined herds. 6 18 The bill provides that the department must issue a permit 6 19 for restricted movement. The bill also provides that a 6 20 vehicle transporting swine under restricted movement must 6 21 contain an enclosed cargo area for the swine which must be 6 22 sealed to prevent access. The vehicle must be sealed by an 6 23 accredited veterinarian, and be removed by a departmental 6 24 official, an accredited veterinarian, an official of the 6 25 United States department of agriculture, or the person 6 26 authorized by the department to receive the swine upon arrival 6 27 at the slaughtering establishment, concentration point, or 6 28 approved premises. 6 29 The bill also amends Code section 166D.3 which establishes 6 30 the state pseudorabies advisory committee, by providing that a 6 31 majority of voting members cannot include a member who has a 6 32 conflict of interest. 6 33 The Code chapter provides that a person violating a 6 34 provision of the Code chapter or any rule adopted by the 6 35 department is subject to a civil penalty of at least $100 but 7 1 not more than $1,000. 7 2 The bill takes effect upon enactment. 7 3 LSB 6803SC 78 7 4 da/cf/24
