(510 ILCS 90/10) (from Ch. 8, par. 810)
Sec. 10.
Indemnity.
If State funds are available to pay indemnity and
the
Technical Committee recommends depopulation as part of an approved herd
plan,
indemnity may be paid only for positive individual breeding
animals which
are removed from the herd and slaughtered in accordance with an approved
herd plan. Indemnity payment will be made by the Department upon receipt
of proof of slaughter.
In the case of the depopulation of the entire herd, indemnity payments
will be made for all breeding animals that are slaughtered. No indemnity
payments will be made until after the entire herd is depopulated and proof
of slaughter is received by the Department.
The Department shall pay to the owner of breeding swine so slaughtered
the appraisal value of such swine, less any salvage value received and less
any indemnity paid by the Federal Government. In no case shall any payment
be more than $25 per head for grade swine or more than $50 for any
registered purebred animal or any breeding animal upon which a certificate
of registration has been issued by an approved inbred or hybrid livestock
registry association. The swine shall be appraised jointly by the swine
owner or his representative and a representative of the Department. If an
agreement cannot be reached on the appraised value, the swine shall be
appraised by 3 appraisers, one selected by the Department, one by the swine
owner or his representative, and one by the 2 appraisers thus selected.
The cost of the third appraiser shall be shared jointly by the Department
and the herd owner. Swine presented for appraisal as purebred, inbred or
hybrid shall be accompanied by their certificate of registry at the time of
appraisal or they shall be appraised as grade. In the absence of such
certificate of registry, the Department may grant a reasonable time for the
presentation of their certificate of registry to the appraiser.
