Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. The purpose of these EIA rules and
				  regulations is to better identify and control EIA infected equine and to remove
				  EIA infected equine from the population in order to prevent the spread of EIA.
				  Due to the persistent incidence of EIA in the equine population, a more
				  stringent eradication program for removal of infected equine, which includes
				  ending the life of EIA infected equine, is necessary. These EIA rules and
				  regulations should be liberally construed in favor of ending the life of EIA
				  infected equine. The authority granted therein is to be exercised only in
				  carrying out this necessary EIA eradication program.
B. It is understood that title to an equine
				  can be difficult to discern, that custodians and possessors are frequently the
				  only persons exercising authority over nontitled equine and, therefore,
				  effective enforcement of these EIA rules and regulations requires that
				  possessors, custodians, and owners of equine share responsibility for
				  eradication of a disease that has proven destructive to the industry and to
				  equine. It is further understood that if in the board's view effective
				  enforcement would not be jeopardized, the board should direct enforcement
				  against titled owners over custodians and custodians over possessors.
				  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the board may direct enforcement against any or
				  all owners as defined in these EIA rules and regulations in any given case as
				  it shall deem fit in its sole and exclusive judgment.
