                                  TITLE  25
                                   ANIMALS
                                  CHAPTER 2

                         OF DISEASES AMONG LIVESTOCK
    25-212A.  DEFICIENCY WARRANTS FOR DISEASE CONTROL. Whenever the director
declares an emergency, as provided in section 25-212, Idaho Code, the director
shall cause the disease to be controlled and eradicated, using such funds as
have been appropriated or may hereafter be made available for such purposes;
provided, that whenever the cost of disease control and eradication exceeds
the funds appropriated or otherwise available for that purpose, the state
board of examiners may authorize the issuance of deficiency warrants against
the general fund for up to five million dollars ($5,000,000) in any one (1)
year for such disease control and eradication. The director, in executing the
provisions of this chapter insofar as it relates to disease control and
eradication, shall have the authority to cooperate with federal, state, county
and municipal agencies and private citizens in disease control and eradication
efforts; provided, that the state funds shall only be used to pay the state's
share of the cost of the disease control and eradication efforts. Disease
control and eradication costs may include costs for inspection, diagnosis of
disease, indemnity paid to owners for infected, exposed or disease susceptible
animals purchased and destroyed by order of the director, costs associated
with burial or disposal of animal carcasses, and costs for cleaning and
disinfecting of infected premises. Such moneys as the state shall thus become
liable for shall be paid as a part of the expenses of the department of
agriculture out of appropriations which shall be made by the legislature for
that purpose. In all appropriations hereafter made for expenses of the
department of agriculture, account shall be taken of and provision made for
this item of expense.
