CHAPTER 489

SENATE BILL 149

 

 

AN ACT TO AMEND G.S. 106-390 RELATING TO THE PUBLIC SALE OF OFFICIAL CALFHOOD VACCINATED HEIFERS UNDER TWENTY-FOUR MONTHS OF AGE.

 

WHEREAS, official calfhood vaccination of female cattle between the ages of four (4) and eight (8) months with Strain 19 Brucella vaccine is recommended and approved by all State Veterinarians and Federal officials; and

WHEREAS, calfhood vaccination establishes a high resistance to Brucellosis and increases the sale value of such vaccinated animal; and

WHEREAS, the majority of other states permit public sale of such officially calfhood vaccinated heifers with or without a blood test: Now, therefore,

 

The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact:

 

Section 1.  G.S. 106-390, as the same appears in Replacement Volume 3A of the General Statutes of North Carolina, is hereby amended by rewriting that portion of the last sentence thereof following the words "State Veterinarian:" in line 13 to read as follows: "Provided, however, the State Veterinarian is authorized to issue a written permit for public show or sale to the owners or authorized representatives of the owners of officially calfhood vaccinated heifers twenty-four (24) months of age or under with or without a blood test when such heifers originate directly from a herd not under quarantine or known to be infected with or exposed to Bang's disease and located in a certified Brucellosis free area or modified certified Brucellosis area."

Sec. 2.  All laws and clauses of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

Sec. 3.  This Act shall be in full force and effect from and after its ratification.

In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 22nd day of May, 1963.
