No person shall alter the mark or brand on his or any other sheep or goats, without first having secured written permission from the director and unless an inspector is present to supervise the alteration.

The 1999 amendment, effective July 1, 1999, substituted the section heading for "Altering marks; notice; supervision", and rewrote the section, which formerly read: "No person shall alter the mark on his or any other sheep, irrespective of whether such person desires to place his recorded mark on such sheep without first having secured permission from the secretary or an inspector and unless an inspector is present to supervise the alteration."
