obsolete. Cattle new are brought into the
State by truck as well as railroad. In the
second sentence a phrase is added to
provide that quarantined cattle may be

these rules and regulations. The only
other changes made are in style.

SEC. 3-403. IMPORTED SWINE SHALL BE ACCOMPANIED BY A
HEALTH CERTIFICATE APPROVED BY THE SECRETARY.

ALL SWINE IMPORTED INTO THE STATE FOR BREEDING
PURPOSES OR SHOW PURPOSES SHALL BE ACCOMPANIED BY A
HEALTH CERTIFICATE ISSUED BY A GRADUATE VETERINARIAN
STATING THAT THEY ARE FREE FROM EVERY INFECTIOUS OR
CONTAGIOUS DISEASE, AND THAT NO INFECTIOUS OR
CONTAGIOUS DISEASE HAS EXISTED FOR AT LEAST 30 DAYS
PRIOR TO SHIPMENT ON THE PREMISES FROM WHERE THE SWINE
ARE SHIPPED. THE SECRETARY SHALL APPROVE ALL
CERTIFICATES. THIS SECTION DOES NOT APPLY TO SWINE
IMPORTED FOR IMMEDIATE SLAUGHTER.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art. 66C, §463 of the Code. The reference
to "communicative disease" is proposed for
deletion and "contagious" substituted to

of this title. According to the
department, the legislative intent probably
was to prevent the spread of contagious
diseases.

New language derived from Art. 66C, §§464
and 465, is added for organizational
purposes.

The only other changes made are in style.
