(b) All breeds of cattle, bison, goats and cervids, of any age and sex, identified as originating from or documented as having been in or at a location, state, territory, or foreign country that the State Veterinarian determines to be a threat for introducing bovine tuberculosis into California or that is documented as having a significant tuberculosis infection and entering California may be required to meet the following additional requirements:
(1) All animals more than six (6) months of age must be negative to an official tuberculosis test completed within 60 calendar days prior to entering California, or

If an animal was not tested at the last whole herd tuberculin test, documents must accompany the animal showing it: had a negative official tuberculin test before entering the herd and within 12 months of departure for California, or it was born into the herd, and
(3) All imported animals shall be quarantined and held at their destination until an official tuberculin test in California 61 to 120 days after their last test before entry (91 to 120 days for cervids) has been completed. Animals may move from that location only under written directions from the Animal Health Branch. If a suspect or a reactor is found in a shipment, the whole herd at destination will be quarantined until a designated tuberculosis epidemiologist determines the final classification. No indemnity shall be paid for imported animals classified as suspects or reactors.
