§ 35-53-129. Permanent permit for rodeo and other horses - rules.

(1) Competition horses, other than contractor-owned bucking horses, that are used in rodeo and horse show competitions, registered breed show horses, racehorses, special drill and pleasure horses, and Colorado farm or ranch work or saddle horses shall be eligible to receive a permanent transportation permit that shall be valid for both interstate and intrastate movement if positive proof of ownership is established to the state board of stock inspection commissioners or a duly authorized Colorado brand inspector. Upon completion of an application form, approved by the board, which shall give a thorough physical description showing all brands, no brands, tattoos, or other characteristics carried by the horse, accompanied by a copy of the brand inspection certificate and a transportation permit fee in an amount determined by the board by rule made payable to the state board of stock inspection commissioners, a permanent hauling transportation permit shall be issued that shall be good for the life of the horse unless a change of ownership takes place, in which case the permit will become void. The new owner may make application for permit by the same full compliance as the prior owner. Any person fraudulently using a transportation permit issued under this section commits a petty offense and shall be punished as provided in section 18-1.3-503.

(2) A permit issued pursuant to this section shall be in lieu of other permits required under the provisions of this article.
