The General Assembly recognizes that equine infectious anemia is a serious disease in the equine industry. It is the intent of this legislation to protect the Illinois equine population from equine infectious anemia being brought into the State through the importation of infected equidae and to control the spread of equine infectious anemia within the State. Therefore, a program aimed at controlling the spread of equine infectious anemia, reducing the risk of infecting equidae in the State, and providing measures for controlling the movement of infected animals will ultimately benefit the equine industry.
