Current through October 15, 2024
Section 250-RICR-40-05-1.3 - Administrative Findings

Animals harboring infectious diseases present a health threat to the domestic animals, native wildlife and human populations of Rhode Island. Many infectious, contagious diseases of animals are not readily detected through physical examination and anamnesis, but require the application of approved laboratory diagnostic procedures by professionally trained and supervised personnel. Therefore, only animals that have been tested and found to be disease-free or originate from qualified disease-free sources may be allowed entry into Rhode Island. It is necessary that any animal testing positive for certain diseases pursuant to such procedures may be denied entrance into Rhode Island.
