(1) Purchasing a certified CWD cervid herd: Upon request and with proof of purchase the board shall issue a new certificate in the new owner's name. The anniversary date and the herd number remain the same. If part or all of the purchased herd is moved directly to premises that have no other cervidae, the herd may retain certified CWD status, and the board shall issue a new certification number. The anniversary date of the new herd is the date of the most recent herd certification status certificate;
(2) Upon request and with proof by records, a herd owner shall be issued a certified CWD cervid herd certificate by complying with the voluntary CWD herd certification program surveillance procedures as defined in § 12:68:25:03 for a period of five years.
