10    licensure under  Section 4 of this Act and that  manufactures
11    or  distributes  commercial  feed  containing protein derived
12    from mammalian  tissues.   At  each  90-day  inspection,  the
13    Department  must  specifically  inspect  for  the presence or
14    absence of commercial feed mixed with or  containing  protein
15    derived  from    mammalian  tissues.  At each inspection, the

17    its rules.
18        A facility otherwise subject to the requirements  of  the
19    Act  is  exempt  from  the  inspection  requirements  of this
20    Section  if  it  annually  submits  to  the   Department   an
21    affidavit,  signed  by  its owner or chief operating officer,
22    stating under oath that the facility does  not  handle,  mix,
23    process,  blend,  or  distribute  feed  or  feed  ingredients
24    containing protein derived from mammalian tissues.  If at any
25    time  after  submitting  this  affidavit  a facility handles,
26    mixes,  processes,  blends,  or  distributes  feed  or   feed
27    ingredients   containing   protein   derived  from  mammalian
28    tissues,  that  facility  must  within  7  days  notify   the
29    Department,  which  shall  begin the 90-day inspections under
30    this Section as to this facility.
31        Unless  authorized  by   law,   the   90-day   inspection
32    requirements  imposed by this Section shall terminate 3 years
33    after the effective date of this amendatory Act of  the  92nd
