Chapter 21 - Rules Governing the Recording, Transfer, and Renewal of Livestock Brands
Section 21-4 - Renewal Schedule and Method
Current through September 21, 2024
(a) Brand Owners must renew all of their Brands as outlined in these rules.
(b) To renew a Brand, a Brand Owner must submit to the Board a completed Renewal Notice and the applicable fees during the Brand's Renewal Period. If the Brand is not renewed during the Brand's Renewal Period, it will become a Delinquent Brand.
(c) The Renewal schedule for all Brands is based on the Brand's expiration date. Each Brand's expiration date is staggered in intervals of two years based on the Brand's original recording date. Unless otherwise provided in these rules, the expiration date for all Brands is as follows:
(d) The Board will place newly recorded Brands in the Renewal schedule that corresponds with the last number of the Brand's recording date as established by this Section. A Transfer does not affect the Brand's expiration date.
(e) If a Brand Owner submits a check that does not have sufficient funds, the Board must receive funds to cover the Renewal fee on or before the 60th day after the expiration date of the Brand Owner's Brand or the Brand will become a Delinquent Brand.
(f) The Board is not responsible for the return of a Renewal Notice due to an incorrect address that causes a Brand to become a Delinquent Brand or Abandoned Brand. It is the sole responsibility of the Brand Owner to inform the Board of any changes in address and to keep all Brand record information current.
(g) To change a Delinquent Brand to active status, the Brand Owner must submit to the Board a completed Delinquent Brand application, the Delinquent Fee, and the applicable Renewal fees within two years from the Delinquent Brand's expiration date. If a Brand Owner fails to do so, the Delinquent Brand becomes an Abandoned Brand.
(h) The Board cannot renew more than one of a Brand Owner's Brands at the same time unless the expiration dates are the same on all of the Brands or the Brand's Active Term has been modified in accordance with Section 8. All other Brands can only be renewed during their respective Renewal Periods as established by the Renewal schedule in this Section.
