THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:
Sec. 5. (1) A person shall not possess cervidae or engage in a
cervidae livestock operation unless he or she obtains from the
department a cervidae livestock facility registration or unless
otherwise exempt by rule or law. If the activity in which the
cervidae livestock facility is engaged is required to be regulated
under any other act, registration under this act does not exempt
the person or cervidae livestock facility from requirements imposed
under any local, state, or federal regulation. Zoos accredited
under the American zoological association or other accreditations
or standards determined appropriate by and acceptable to the
department are exempt from this act. The director may allow a
person registered under this act to obtain a license under the
sporting swine marketing act.
(2) A person registered under this act shall keep and maintain
records of production, purchases, or imports in order to establish
proof of ownership and shall keep any other records required under
standards incorporated by reference under section 6. A person
transporting cervidae species shall produce documentation that
contains the origin of shipment, registration or permit copies or
documentation, documentation demonstrating shipping destination,
and any other proof that may be required under the animal industry
act, 1988 PA 466, MCL 287.701 to 287.745, upon demand of the
director or a law enforcement officer.
