Statute 47-1806: Livestock dealer; records and accounts; denial of application or
suspension or revocation of registration, hearings.
(a) Each livestock dealer shall keep records and accounts of all
livestock purchased for resale that are sufficient to enable the
commissioner to trace individual animals back to the herd of origin, to the
point of destination or both. These records and accounts shall be kept for
a minimum of two years after livestock were purchased for resale. The
commissioner or the commissioner's employees or agents
may examine the records and accounts during normal working hours.
(b) After notice and hearing in accordance with the provisions of the
Kansas administrative procedure
act, the commissioner may deny any application for
registration or suspend or revoke any registration in force, if formal
findings are made that the person has failed repeatedly to maintain records
and accounts that are sufficient to allow the commissioner to trace animals
back to the herd of origin, to the point of destination or both.
