Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 5.

Quarantine and branding of reactors.

In the event an
Illinois owner voluntarily elects to have his equidae tested and a reactor
is found, the reactor shall be (a) quarantined until death or until
released by a written notice from the Department and (b) permanently
identified with a freezemarking brand which shall be applied by an employee
of the Department, a veterinarian in the employ of the Illinois Racing
Board, or an employee of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service of the
United States Department of Agriculture or any successor agency.  The
freezemarking brand shall be not less than 2 inches in height, shall be
applied to the left side of the neck of the reactor, and the identifying
mark shall be "33" followed by the letter "A" and a number designated by
the Department to indicate individual identification.

Any animal under 12 months of age which reacts positively to an official
test for EIA shall be quarantined and retested at 12 months of age.  If
positive at that time, it shall be subject to permanent identification as a
reactor and continue under quarantine.  Foals being nursed by reactor dams
shall be quarantined until they are weaned from their dams and have a
negative official test for EIA not less than 60 days following their weaning.
