Iowa Code § 166B.4: Institution of indemnification.

It is hereby recognized and declared that indemnification for destruction of swine infected with or exposed to classical swine fever is an expression of the public policy of this state but employed only in the final stages of eradication of the disease, or as a means of preventing or minimizing its recurrence. The department shall not therefore institute an initial program of indemnification pursuant to the chapter until it is mutually agreed between the department and the United States department of agriculture that such action is necessary in order to carry out the classical-swine-fever eradication program.
