PAG LIN 1 1 Section 1. Section 166D.7, subsection 2, paragraph b, 1 2 unnumbered paragraph 1, Code 2001, is amended to read as 1 3 follows: 1 4 In order to remain certified the herd must be retested and 1 5 recertified as provided by the department.The herd must be1 6recertified annually.The herd shall be recertified when a 1 7 statistical sampling of the herd is determined to be 1 8 noninfectedwithin. The statistical sampling shall be 1 9 conducted at intervals of twelve months from initial 1 10 certification or the most recent recertification, unless the 1 11 department determines that a herd is located within an area 1 12 where a high incidence of infection requires that statistical 1 13 sampling occur more frequently. 1 14 EXPLANATION 1 15 This bill amends Code chapter 166D, which authorizes the 1 16 department of agriculture and land stewardship to regulate 1 17 pseudorabies, a disease affecting swine. In 2000, the general 1 18 assembly enacted SF 2312 (2000 Iowa Acts, chapter 1110) that 1 19 substantially revised the chapter. On July 26, 2000, the 1 20 department filed rules amending a number of its regulations, 1 21 including provisions affecting certification requirements for 1 22 certain noninfected herds referred to as "monitored", by 1 23 reducing the amount of time between testing, conducted by 1 24 statistical sampling. The interval for testing was reduced 1 25 from every 12 months to every six months (see Iowa 1 26 Administrative Code 21-64.156). 1 27 The bill amends Code section 166D.7, which provides for the 1 28 certification of noninfected herds as monitored herds. The 1 29 bill provides that in order to be certified as a monitored 1 30 herd, the statistical sampling must be conducted at 12-month 1 31 intervals, unless the department determines that a herd is 1 32 located within an area where a high incidence of infection 1 33 requires that statistical sampling occur more frequently. 1 34 LSB 2639SS 79 1 35 da/cls/14
