7 AAC 27.030. Export and intrastate transportation of animals

(a) Areas of Infection. Whenever the commissioner of health and social services finds that animals of any kind in a specific area are afflicted with a disease contagious to man and are liable to spread that disease from that area so as to endanger the public health he will, in his discretion, declare it an area of infection. No person may, after the date of that declaration, transport or offer for transportation into or within the State of Alaska any such animal from the area described in the declaration, except with the permission of, and in accordance with precautions against the spread of the disease specified by, the Department of Health and Social Services.

(b) Rabies Vaccination for Intrastate Travel. No dog or cat may be transported by public intrastate transportation unless the owner or custodian of the animal shows that the animal has an unexpired rabies vaccination. Proof of an unexpired rabies vaccination is the date on the Standard Vaccination Certificate, as required by 7 AAC 27.020(b) (2), or an affidavit from a person authorized to administer the vaccine stating that the animal has a current rabies vaccination.
