payment from the proceeds of the slaughtered animal as well as
from the state, one-half of the difference between appraised
value and proceeds of the slaughtered animal and indemnity by
USDA, but never to exceed $300 per animal; and, from USDA, any
sum authorized to be paid from any appropriation made to
assist in eradicating brucellosis.
3)Provides for exposed non-reactive animals, that valuations are
determined by appraisal by CDFA or USDA, and the owner or
their agent; provides the owner of the slaughtered animal to
receive the difference between the appraised value and the

non-reactive animals.
5)Directs SGC with coordinating the activities of member state

transportation, encourages greater infill and compact
