Sec. 7. Failure of U.S. government to cooperate; payment for animals destroyed. If at any time the Congress of the United States fails or refuses to make an appropriation to assist in the eradication of tuberculosis and in the payment for cattle, bison, or cervids destroyed under this Act, or if for any other reason or in any other way the cooperation of the United States Government is withdrawn, the State of Illinois shall pay to the owner of any cattle, bison, or cervids tested for tuberculosis which react and are destroyed under this Act an additional indemnity of $200 for any grade animal or $400 for any registered animal.
When the complete herd depopulation procedure is followed and funds from the United States Government are not available or are withdrawn, the State shall pay to the owner of cattle, bison, or cervids destroyed the appraisal value of such cattle, bison, or cervids, less any salvage value received, but in no case shall the State indemnity payment exceed $400 for any grade animal or $800 for any registered animal. The Department may, by regulation, increase the indemnity payments to facilitate the program for eradication of tuberculosis.
If at any time the State of Illinois fails or refuses to make an appropriation for the eradication of tuberculosis and in payment for cattle, bison, or cervids destroyed under the provisions of this Act, or if at any time the appropriation made by the General Assembly of this State for such purpose shall become exhausted, the testing of cattle, bison, or cervids as provided for in this Act shall be suspended until such time as money shall be available for payment of cattle, bison, or cervids destroyed under this Act.
