Sec. 3. (a) The board may adopt rules requiring that:
(1) all dairy or breeding cattle and bison sold through any public or private sale must be accompanied with an official health certificate; and
(2) the cattle and bison test negative for brucellosis and tuberculosis.
However, a special form prescribed by the board may be used for this purpose instead of the certificate of veterinary inspection.
(b) The board may adopt rules exempting animals from testing for brucellosis and tuberculosis within Indiana or other states or areas.
(c) The state veterinarian may order cattle of any age to be tested to determine the disease status of the animal.
