Tennessee animal testing and vaccine order rules

Effective upon enactment, the law lets Tennessee officials recommend animal tests or vaccines to protect animal health. This covers animals in Tennessee or imported into the state. Officials can order tests or vaccines only to detect or treat monitored or notifiable diseases. Both disease groups follow U.S. Department of Agriculture lists. Monitored diseases are established in the United States; notifiable diseases include emergency, emerging, and regulated disease incidents. Animal owners or handlers may face costs when an order applies.
