General Information
Action Summary This regulation establishes the requirements for testing and documentation of livestock and certain other animals to be allowed to come into Virginia. The existing regulation will be reviewed and updated where appropriate to require the use of appropriate testing methods for those animals entering Virginia permanently and for exhibition. The regulation currently requires that animals coming into Virginia shall be accompanied by a certificate of veterinary inspection to create a record to document the origin, the destination, test results, and relevant vaccinations of animals coming into Virginia from other states. The information required on the certificates of veterinary inspection will be reviewed for compatibility with current epidemiology practices and record management systems. The regulations will also be reviewed for continuing need and effectiveness.
