(2) If the livestock or exotic animals are moving interstate from a public livestock market, each livestock or exotic animal shall be accompanied by a certificate of veterinary inspection, unless the livestock or exotic animal is moving directly to a slaughter facility. The market veterinarian shall issue a certificate of veterinary inspection before the livestock or exotic animal leaves the public livestock market if the market veterinarian knows that the livestock or exotic animal is moving interstate.

(b) If the livestock or exotic animal requires a certificate of veterinarian inspection, the market veterinarian shall provide the purchaser with documentation showing any relevant inspection, treatment, or quarantine. A public livestock market operator shall not release livestock or exotic animals until the livestock or exotic animals meet all the requirements of the state of destination. Each market veterinarian shall submit a copy of the certificate of veterinarian inspection and all applicable atachments to the division of animal health within seven business days from the date the certificate of veterinary inspection was issued to the owner.

(c) If livestock or exotic animals are sold by an electronic auction, each consignor shall pay the cost associated with issuance of the certificate of veterinary inspection required under K.S.A. 47-1008, and amendments thereto.
