Sec. 50.8  Payment of expenses for transporting and disposing of affected, exposed, and suspect animals.

    The Department may pay, when approved in advance in writing by the 
Veterinarian in Charge, one half the expenses of transporting affected, 
exposed, or suspect cattle, bison, and captive cervids to slaughter or 
to the point where disposal will take place, and one half the expenses 
of destroying, burying, incinerating, rendering, or otherwise disposing 
of affected, exposed, or suspect cattle, bison, and captive cervids; 
Provided that, the Department may pay more than one-half of the expenses 
when the Administrator determines that doing so will contribute to the 
tuberculosis eradication program. For reimbursement to be made, the 
owner of the animals must present the Veterinarian in Charge with a copy 
of either a receipt for expenses paid or a bill for services rendered. 
Any bill for services rendered by the owner must not be greater than the 
normal fee for similar services provided by a commercial hauler or 
renderer.
