SEC. 3-106. PROHIBITING SHIPMENTS OF LIVESTOCK OR
POULTRY.

THE SECRETARY OR HIS AGENT MAY PROHIBIT THE
SHIPMENT OF LIVESTOCK OR POULTRY INTO AN AREA IN WHICH
CONTAGIOUS DISEASE ERADICATION IS BEING CARRIED ON
UNTIL THE LIVESTOCK OR POULTRY HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED TO
A TEST SATISFACTORY TO THE SECRETARY AND HAVE BEEN
FOUND TO BE FREE OF ANY CONTAGIOUS DISEASE. THE
SECRETARY MAY QUARANTINE ANY ANIMALS THAT MAY HAVE
BEEN BROUGHT INTO THE AREA AND REQUIRE THAT THEY BE
TESTED AS PROVIDED IN §3-105.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art. 66C, §418 of the Code. The specific
reference to "bovine tuberculosis" and
"tuberculine test" are proposed for
deletion because both are encompassed
within the general reference to "contagious
disease" and "test", respectively. The
only other changes made are in style.
