Re: [RC] Illinois Entry Permit Number Requirements - rides2far

Please inform the Illinois Dept. of Agriculture that they're too much
bother. I'm not coming. I'll go spend money somewhere else.

New Illinois Entry Requirements for Equines ? Effective Feb. 1, 2004
Debra Hagstrom
Your horse-owning clients should be aware of new Illinois Department 
of Agriculture regulations affecting the transport of horses into 
Illinois. Although the Coggins test and health certificate were 
previously required, the entry permit is a new requirement. This 
will especially affect individuals that host equine events in 
Illinois, and they should be aware of this requirement in order to 
communicate with customers that will be entering Illinois from out 
of state. 

Following are the particulars:

All equines entering Illinois for any reason other than slaughter 
must be accompanied by a negative test for EIA conducted within a 
year if the animal is more than one year of age, certificate of 
veterinary inspection issued by an accredited veterinarian within 30 
days of entry, and an entry permit issued by the Illinois Department 
of Agriculture.

Entry permits are available by calling the Illinois Department of 
Agriculture, 217/782-4944 and are issued 24 hours a day, seven days 
a week. THERE IS NO CHARGE FOR OBTAINING AN ENTRY PERMIT FROM THE 
ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 

The following information will be required for the entry permit: 

1. Name and mailing address of owner of the animal 
2. Date of the EIA test 
3. Location where the animal is going
4. Permit numbers are also available online at www.agr.state.il.us. 

A password to access the permit program is required and will be 
issued to veterinarians by calling the Illinois Department of 
Agriculture, Bureau of Animal Health, 217/782-4944 weekdays, 8:00 
a.m. - 4:30 p.m.

For equine only: The entry permit is good for 30 days (the life of 
the health certificate). It is requested that if the health 
certificate is used for multiple entries (i.e. trail rides or shows 
on several weekends) that all events during the 30 day period be 
included on the health certificate. If an event is not listed on the 
health certificate, the owner is asked to call the Department, 
provide the permit number and provide the location of the additional 
event(s).

For equine sales: A blanket permit is available for out-of-state 
equine sales and auctions. For more information, please call the 
Bureau of Animal Health, 217/782-4944.

For Illinois Equine: An entry permit is not required for Illinois 
equine. Illinois equine traveling out-of-state on an Illinois 
certificate of vet inspection (health certificate) are not required 
to obtain a permit to return home. If, however, Illinois equine are 
out of state longer than 30 days (i.e. breeding, training), a 
certificate of vet inspection issued by the state where the animal 
has been residing and an entry permit will be required. Once an 
animal has been out of the state longer than 30 days, it is no 
longer recognized as being an Illinois native animal."

In accordance with the Illinois Diseased Animals Act (510 ILCS 50/1 
and the regulations pertaining thereto 8 Ill. Adm. Code 85), 
violators are guilty of a business offense and shall be fined not 
less than $50 nor more than 
$1,000.
