SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Avian influenza. Authorizes the State Veterinarian to require that any chicken, turkey, waterfowl, game bird, or other avian that is susceptible to avian influenza be tested for avian influenza before importation into Virginia from another state if (i) avian influenza has been found in that state, (ii) conditions in that state render the importation of any specific type of subject avian a menace to the health of any animal in the Commonwealth, or (iii) the protection of any animal in the Commonwealth from avian influenza so requires. This bill establishes a testing protocol for such birds, and provides several exemptions from testing requirements. This bill is identical to SB 1249.
