Text — As published in the Legislative Counsel's database, tables dated October 18, 2026 (pubinfo_2025.zip)
If by any provision of this division a certificate, bill of sale, or other document is required to accompany any shipment of animals, nothing in this division shall be construed to make the carrier, driver, or any person other than the shipper responsible for the accuracy of the information required in the document.
The person transporting is, however, responsible for having the documents required by this division in possession during shipment, and the driver shall deliver such document to the person receiving the cattle at destination so it can be presented to the inspector prior to inspection.
