A person may not bring into this state or receive from outside this state any female cattle over the maximum vaccination age prescribed in the brucellosis eradication uniform methods and rules approved by the United States department of agriculture's animal and plant health inspection service unless the cattle have been officially calfhood vaccinated against brucellosis or a waiver has been granted by the board in accordance with section 36-15-21.1.

In addition to other penalties provided in this chapter, a person who violates this section is guilty of a class A misdemeanor.
