(510 ILCS 30/4) (from Ch. 8, par. 137)
Sec. 4.
If State funds are available for paying indemnity, the
Department shall pay to the owner of each infected animal an indemnity
of $50 for any grade animal and $100 for any registered animal, except
that steers so destroyed shall not be eligible for indemnity unless the
Department approves depopulation of the entire herd. The Department may,
by regulation, increase the indemnity payments, or include additional classes
of cattle in order to facilitate the program
for eradication of brucellosis. Registration certificates covering animals
registered with an approved registry
association shall be presented before payment of indemnity, otherwise indemnity
payment shall be made as grade. A reasonable
length of time will be allowed for the registration of eligible animals
that are under 3 years of age.
