ND SB2092

Amends North Dakota rabies control law to clarify definitions including "clinical signs of rabies," "exposure to rabies," "suspect rabies exposure," and "wild animal," aligning with federal advisory committee standards and veterinary practices.

Expands the Department of Health's authority to seize, quarantine, euthanize, or impound animals suspected of rabies exposure, with specific procedures for domestic animals versus wild mammals.

Requires licensed veterinarians to examine confined animals at the owner's expense on the first and last day of confinement and at other times requested by the department or law enforcement.

Authorizes the Department of Health to provide rabies postexposure biologics at no cost to individuals who are financially unable to pay for treatment following potential rabies exposure.

Modifies liability protections for animal seizure and testing by allowing owners to recover up to replacement value if the state health officer knew or recklessly failed to determine the animal was lawfully owned, licensed, vaccinated (if wild), or not rabid.
