(A) A regular Interstate Livestock Entry Permit will not be granted for swine vaccinated for pseudorabies. However, the State Veterinarian may grant a special permit, on a case-by-case basis, with specific limitations necessary to prevent the spread of pseudorabies from such swine. A special permit application must be submitted and include all information required for a regular permit plus official identification for each animal in the shipment, exposure history, which of the animals have been vaccinated, and the vaccine type, brand, and date of vaccination.

(c) Swine shall be quarantined and isolated pursuant to Food and Agricultural Code section 9562 at destination pending the results of an official pseudorabies retest conducted 30 to 60 days after entering California.
(1) Swine may be released from quarantine if negative to the official pseudorabies retest or when slaughtered in a state or federally inspected slaughter establishment.
