*Sec. B-3. 7 MRSA §1809, sub-§1, as repealed and replaced by PL 2001, c. 572, §38, is amended to read:

1. Permit required. The commissioner may require a person who imports animals into the State to obtain a permit before the time of entry. When a permit is required, the permit or permit number must accompany the shipment. The commissioner may refuse to grant a permit or may issue one subject to quarantine at destination if the animals do not meet importation requirements or do not comply with the inland fisheries and wildlife laws and rules adopted by the Commissioner of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife under Title 12, chapter 707 915, subchapter 7 15 or Title 12, section 12102 or 12704. The commissioner may require the owner to have those animals tested or examined by a veterinarian at the owner's expense. The commissioner may release those animals from quarantine only after the commissioner is satisfied that they are not a disease threat to other animals or humans.

When an animal is brought into the State without a required permit, the commissioner or the Commissioner of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife may condemn the animal and order it euthanized without indemnity.

Sec. 81. PL 2005, c. 401, Pt. C, §6 is amended to read:
