26    commercial   feed  or  feed  ingredients  containing  protein
27    derived from mammalian tissues or protein derived from cattle
28    or ruminants in violation of this Act or its rules.  At  each
29    90-day  inspection,  the Department must specifically inspect
30    for the presence or absence of feed materials mixed  with  or
31    containing  proteins  from ruminants.  At each inspection the
32    Department may inspect for any other violation of this Act or
33    its rules.

 4    affidavit,  signed  by  its owner or chief operating officer,
 5    stating under oath that the facility does  not  handle,  mix,
 6    process,  blend,  or  distribute  feed  or  feed  ingredients
 7    containing  proteins  from  ruminants.   If at any time after
 8    submitting  this  affidavit  a   facility   handles,   mixes,
 9    processes,  blends,  or  distributes feed or feed ingredients
10    containing ruminant proteins, that  facility  must  within  7
11    days  notify  the  Department,  which  shall begin the 90-day
12    inspections under this Section as to this facility.
13        Unless  authorized  by   law,   the   90-day   inspection
14    requirements  imposed by this Section shall terminate 3 years
15    after the effective date of this amendatory Act of  the  92nd
16    General Assembly.
17        The   Department   must  adopt  any  rules  necessary  to
