Factual and Policy Issues Code of Colorado Regulations Secretary of State State of Colorado CODE OF COLORADO REGULATIONS 8 CCR 1205-3 State Board of Stock Inspection Commissioners nspection Commissioners pursuant to their authority under §§ 35-41-101 (3) and 35-53-130, C.R.S. Purpose The purpose of this rulemaking is to remove alternative livestock from the rule; update fees; and update language. Factual and Policy Issues Code of Colorado Regulations Secretary of State State of Colorado CODE OF COLORADO REGULATIONS 8 CCR 1205-3 State Board of Stock Inspection Commissioners 2 Since this rule was initially adopted in 1998, the handling of alternative livestock has changed dramatically because of the concern regarding chronic wasting disease (CWD). As a matter of practice, alternative livestock cannot travel without authorization from the State Veterinarians Office working in conjunction with Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) and with brand inspectors. A blanket travel authorization that includes alternative livestock is inappropriate. The proposed fee changes mirror the fee changes in 8 CCR 1205-6 “State Board of Stock Inspection Fees” adopted on October 15, 2014, effective January 1, 2015. Updating the fees will bring this rule into conformity with what has been in effect and collected since January 1, 2015. 3.3. Adopted July 15, 2025 – Effective September 14, 2025 Statutory Authority The statutory authority for the changes to this rule is found at § 35-53-130(1). Purpose of these Rules The purpose of this rule change is to mirror the fee changes in 8 CCR 1205-6 “State Board of Stock Inspection Fees” adopted July 15, 2025, effective September 14, 2025. ## Nearby sections - [8 CCR 1205-1 PUBLIC LIVESTOCK MARKETS](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/STATE_CO_CCR_8_CCR_1205_1.md) - [8 CCR 1205-2 ADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE ALTERNATIVE LIVESTOCK ACT §§ 35-41.5-101 - 117, C.R.S.](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/STATE_CO_CCR_8_CCR_1205_2.md) - [8 CCR 1205-3 RULES PERTAINING TO THE ANNUAL TRANSPORTATION PERMIT FOR CATTLE OR ALTERNATIVE LIVESTOCK](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/STATE_CO_CCR_8_CCR_1205_3.md) - [8 CCR 1205-4 RULES PERTAINING TO THE FEEDLOT CERTIFICATION ACT](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/STATE_CO_CCR_8_CCR_1205_4.md) - [8 CCR 1205-5 RULES PERTAINING TO THE PUBLICATION AND SALE OF ABANDONED BRANDS](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/STATE_CO_CCR_8_CCR_1205_5.md) - [8 CCR 1205-6 STATE BOARD OF STOCK INSPECTION FEES](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/STATE_CO_CCR_8_CCR_1205_6.md) - [8 CCR 1205-7 RULES PERTAINING TO INSPECTION OF LIVESTOCK SOLD AS ANIMAL SHARES](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/STATE_CO_CCR_8_CCR_1205_7.md) --- Source: Frix Law Library, https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/STATE_CO_CCR_8_CCR_1205_3.
