A disqualified person may later apply to be a qualified chronic wasting disease test sample collector only after successfully completing training offered or approved by the department. Successful completion of training under this paragraph also allows a certified veterinarian to accept and submit samples under sub. (3) (c) 2. a. and (d).
ATCP 10.52 Note Note: A disqualified person may request a hearing on a disqualification under par. (b), pursuant to s. 227, Stats., and ch. ATCP 1. A request for a hearing does not automatically stay a summary disqualification.
