Section 34-14-8 - Application for and issuance of license to obtain animals for research. - South Dakota Statutes

34-14-8. Application for and issuance of license to obtain animals for research. Such institutions may apply to the State Department of Health for a license to obtain animals from establishments maintained by or for municipalities for the impounding, care, and disposal of animals seized by lawful authority. However, no such establishment may be required to furnish animals to such institutions. If, after investigation, the State Department of Health finds that the institution making request for licensure is a fit and proper agency within the meaning of §§ 34-14-6 to 34-14-15, inclusive, to receive a license, and that the public interest will be served thereby, it may issue a license to such institution authorizing it to obtain animals subject to the restrictions and limitations provided in this chapter.
