4-7-6. Shipments of hatching eggs, chicks, poults, poultry breeding stock, or birds of any species into state.

  1. Hatching eggs, chicks, poults, poultry breeding stock, or birds of any species shall not be shipped into the State of Georgia without first obtaining the approval of the Commissioner. Shippers shall be subject to investigation by the Commissioner or other authorized person to determine that hatching eggs, chicks, poults, or poultry breeding stock have been produced and handled under conditions no less adequate for control of pullorum disease and other contagious or infectious diseases of poultry than those required under Georgia regulations.
  2. Hatching eggs, chicks, poults, or poultry breeding stock shipped into the State of Georgia shall be:
    1. Reported by the shipper to the Commissioner on official health certificates signed by the livestock sanitary official in the state of origin, certifying that such shipment has met requirements equivalent to Georgia regulations for control of pullorum disease and other contagious or infectious diseases of poultry; a duplicate copy of the health certificate shall be attached to the waybill on each shipment; or
    2. Reported to the Commissioner on official National Poultry Improvement Plan forms, if produced under a pullorum disease control phase of the National Poultry Improvement Plan.

(Ga. L. 1946, p. 147, § 5.)

OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Duplicate copy of health certificate required.

- It is the duty of the carrier to whom shipments of poultry are consigned for delivery in Georgia to require a duplicate copy of the health certificate of the state of origin of such poultry and such duplicate certificate must be attached to the waybill on each shipment, and the Department of Agriculture, through its properly delegated agents, has authority to stop at the borders of Georgia any shipment seeking to come into this state without such duplicate certificate. 1945-47 Op. Att'y Gen. p. 15.

Prohibition of shipment for failure to supply compliance certification.

- The Commissioner may prohibit the shipment of hatching eggs and poultry into the state unless accompanied by a certificate of the proper official of the state of origin that the shipment has met the requirements of the Georgia statute and regulations for the control of diseases of poultry. 1945-47 Op. Att'y Gen. p. 15.
