Sec. 5.5.

(a) Whenever an equine tests positive for E.I.A., all equine in the owner's herd are quarantined to the premises until such time as they test negative for E.I.A. pursuant to the testing required in subsection (b).

(b) Whenever an equine tests positive for E.I.A., all equine in the owner's herd that are not reactors must be tested, or retested as the case may be, for E.I.A. The tests required in this subsection must be conducted as follows:

(1) All equine in the owner's herd that are under one hundred eighty (180) days of age on the date the last known reactor is removed from the herd must be tested between two hundred forty (240) and two hundred seventy (270) days of age.

(2) All other equine must be tested between forty-five (45) and sixty (60) days after all known reactors are removed from the herd. The state veterinarian must determine the exact length of time between forty-five (45) and sixty (60) days for the retest based on the epidemiology of the situation.

(c) The state veterinarian may issue a permit to move a quarantined animal if moving the animal furthers the goal of containing and eradicating E.I.A.

(d) The state veterinarian must conduct an epidemiological investigation into E.I.A. positive equine to determine the incidence and distribution of the disease. The state veterinarian may order any equine on any premises be tested for E.I.A. to further the epidemiological investigation.
