  1  1    Section 1.  Section 166D.13, subsection 2, Code 2003, is
  1  2 amended to read as follows:
  1  3    2.  Swine returning from an exhibition to its home herd or
  1  4 moved to a purchaser's herd following an exhibition or
  1  5 consignment sale must be isolated and retested negative for
  1  6 pseudorabies not less than thirty and not more than sixty days
  1  7 after reaching the swine's home herd.
  1  8    2A.  Swine moved to a purchaser's herd following an
  1  9 consignment sale must be isolated and retested negative for
  1 10 pseudorabies not less than thirty and not more than sixty days
  1 11 after reaching the swine's destination.
  1 12                           EXPLANATION
  1 13    This bill amends Code section 166D.13.  Code chapter 166D,
  1 14 which regulates pseudorabies affecting swine, is administered
  1 15 by the department of agriculture and land stewardship.  Code
  1 16 section 166D.13 governs the exhibition of swine (e.g., at a
  1 17 fair) and their movement from a home herd to an exhibition and
  1 18 back.  One provision in the Code section provides that swine
  1 19 returning from an exhibition must be isolated and retested for
  1 20 pseudorabies between 30 and 60 days after reaching their home
  1 21 herd.  The bill removes the retesting requirement.
