8 CCR 1201-17 Part 4 - Cervidae Disease Revolving Fund

4.1. An assessment of eight dollars ($8) will be assessed for each head of alternative livestock and captive wildlife cervidae per year. The assessment shall be paid by the owners of alternative livestock and captive wildlife cervidae based on the inventory of a licensed alternative livestock farm and licensed location where captive wildlife cervidae are kept and paid to the Cervidae Disease Fund.

4.2. The Agricultural Commission shall cease making assessments if the fund reaches a level of two hundred thousand dollars until such time as the level of the fund falls below two hundred thousand dollars and the Commission determines that a levy is necessary.

4.3. The Commissioner of Agriculture, upon the recommendation of the State Veterinarian and with approval of the Agricultural Commission, may authorize the payment of indemnity to any alternative livestock owner or captive wildlife cervidae owner whose herd is voluntarily sold for slaughter because it is exposed to an infectious or contagious disease; however, such indemnification when combined with other monies received by the owner of the alternative livestock or captive wildlife cervidae, may not exceed eighty percent of the market value for animals of comparable grade and of the same or similar type.
