SECTION 2. Section 47-13-1370(A) of the 1976 Code, as last amended by Act 375 of 1990, is further amended to read:
"(A) All horses must be accompanied by written proof of an approved negative test for equine infectious anemia when entering any a public assembly of horses.

Animals moving directly to a slaughter plant or assembly point for slaughter which has been specifically approved by the state veterinarian are not subject to the negative test requirement.
