Indemnity payments, less salvage value, which in no case shall exceed the appraised value of the animal, shall be made by the State to the owner from State or other available sources but in no case shall the State's share of indemnity payments exceed one hundred fifty dollars for a horse, mule or ass nor in the case of cattle shall such share exceed two hundred dollars for any single animal. No animal shall be indemnified for under this section which was imported into the State within six months of the time it is killed.\nThe provisions of this section and the indemnity herein provided may be extended to include individual animals or entire herds exposed to but not yet infected with disease when in the judgment of the officials responsible for disease control and indemnity payments the killing of such exposed animals would contribute substantially to the eradication of the disease to which such animals have been exposed.","path":["Title 47 - ANIMALS, LIVESTOCK, AND POULTRY","CHAPTER 13 Diseases and Infections","ARTICLE 3 Remedies in Case of Infections"],"source_url":"https://www.scstatehouse.gov/code/t47c013.php","current_through":"2025 Session of the General Assembly","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-02T07:40:59Z","sha256":"9f0599633b995ccc0f67eeb2798f468500437410baa117050580237025f8695e","source_id":"us-sc","stale":false,"prev":"us-sc/s.c.-code-ann.-47-13-340","next":"us-sc/s.c.-code-ann.-47-13-370"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
