(510 ILCS 35/7) (from Ch. 8, par. 93)
Sec. 7.
Failure of U.S.
government to cooperate; payment for animals
destroyed. If at any time the Congress of the United States fails or refuses
to make an appropriation to assist in the eradication of tuberculosis and
in the payment for cattle, bison, or cervids destroyed under this Act, or
if for any other
reason or in any other way the cooperation of the United States Government
is withdrawn, the State of Illinois shall pay to the owner of any cattle,
bison, or cervids
tested for tuberculosis which react and are
destroyed under this Act an additional indemnity of $200 for
any grade animal or $400
for any registered animal. When the complete herd depopulation procedure
is followed and funds from the United States Government are not available
or are withdrawn, the State shall pay to the owner of cattle, bison, or
cervids destroyed the
appraisal value of such cattle, bison, or cervids, less any salvage value
received, but in
no case shall the State indemnity payment exceed $400 for any grade animal
or $800 for any registered animal. The Department may, by regulation, increase
the
indemnity payments to facilitate the program for eradication of
tuberculosis. If at any time the State of Illinois fails or refuses to make
an appropriation for the eradication of tuberculosis and in payment for
cattle, bison, or cervids destroyed under the provisions of this Act, or if
at any time the
appropriation made by the General Assembly of this State for such purpose
shall become exhausted, the testing of cattle, bison, or cervids as
provided for in this Act
shall be suspended until such time as money shall be available for payment
of cattle, bison, or cervids destroyed under this Act.
