Apply each item only to its stated population and trigger. Moving out, changing an address, losing residence or domicile, and changing retained property, credentials or case status are separate events. A household move does not automatically sell a vehicle, cancel insurance, surrender every credential, close a business or terminate every benefit. Coordinate destination licensing, registration and commercial-license transfer with both motor vehicle agencies; inspections and security can continue for retained WV registration. For retained property, assessments and homestead eligibility, contact the property's assessor and tax collector. Use Tax Division instructions for the year being filed; the statutory filing, payment, estimate and special-accrual acts have separate conditions. Other professions, facilities, businesses and compacts require their issuing board or regulator and destination authority; compact membership alone does not authorize practice. For a retained notary commission, ask the Secretary of State about WV residence/employment/practice qualifications and resignation. Benefit reporting depends on the actual program, household reporting class and notice; use the administering office, caseworker, Hope Scholarship Board or WorkForce WV for the actual case. Arrange school, special-education and enrollment continuity with both institutions. The school termination items require actual termination of the named WV program; children continuing to attend WV schools or childcare remain subject to their admission rules. This exit guide makes no vaccination-exemption or school-case disposition. A parent covered by a parenting plan must address the petition and service requirements before relocation; custody, support, protection, placement and supervision orders require their responsible court, agency or officer and safe-address procedures. Registry duties depend on actual continuing WV registration status and nexus; destination registration is a separate question. Before transport, check the destination's animal, plant, soil and firearm restrictions and every applicable WV quarantine, permission, inspection or certification. WV imports, return imports and exhibitions have their own rules and are not cleared by departure. Use the State Animal Health Official for actual animal disease status, movement protocols and elected direct-to-slaughter alternatives. The captured NWS slaughter guidance prints different starts for its 72-hour qualification; obtain the applicable origin/destination protocol before choosing that alternative to normal transfer. All equids, including pet horses, are covered farm-raised animals under the NWS movement guidance. The captured HPAI guidance separately requires testing for covered lactating dairy cattle moving interstate to exhibitions, shows and sales; its general Unaffected-State permission is not a blanket exhibition test waiver. No current disease-zone status is inferred from dated guidance. Utilities, tolls, municipal programs, pet records, contracts and optional refunds require the issuing office or provider. Source editions, program years and dates apply only as stated; evidence boundaries do not establish legal commencement or unchanged future law. Each bounded absence is limited to its named instrument.

Who this covers, exactly
Prior to interstate movement, lactating dairy cattle are required to receive a negative test for Influenza A virus at an approved National Animal Health Laboratory Network (NAHLN) laboratory using an NAHLN approved assay.
Lactating dairy cattle may move interstate without testing if they originate from States that are in the National Milk Testing Strategy (NMTS) Unaffected State Status. Additionally, state-specific guidance for moving cattle must be followed. Lactating dairy cattle that have clinical signs are ineligible for interstate movement or movement to slaughter. Nonclinical lactating dairy cattle moving interstate direct to slaughter are not required to have a premovement test but must move on a certificate of veterinary inspection or other documentation of movement approved by the sending and receiving state animal health officials and provided to the sending and receiving state animal health officials. Clinical lactating dairy cattle are ineligible for interstate movement or movement to slaughter. Lactating dairy cattle from herds which have tested positive for Influenza A are not eligible for interstate movement for thirty (30) days from the most recent collection of any sample that tests positive from any individual animal in the herd. After the 30-day period, animals must be tested again for movement. If there are specific circumstances for isolating test-positive cattle and moving to another premises across state lines, this would need to be discussed and agreed upon with the respective State Animal Health Officials and APHIS. For groups/lots of 30 or fewer animals moving interstate, all animals being moved must be tested. If more than 30 animals are moving interstate, then only 30 animals total must be tested. Sample collection and testing must take place no more than seven (7) days prior to interstate movement. Requirements above for premovement testing and CVIs apply to dairy cattle moving interstate to exhibitions/shows. Animals moving interstate to an exhibition, show, or sale must have a negative test result from samples collected within 7 days of movement. These animals may travel to their home herd using the same negative test result provided the exhibition, show, or sale does not exceed 10 days of length. See also Recommendations to Minimize Influenza Transmission at Dairy Cattle Livestock Exhibitions. Samples are to be collected by an accredited veterinarian, or a state licensed veterinarian, or a sample collector approved by the appropriate state animal health official. Designated individuals on production sites can be trained to collect milk samples and nasal swab samples for diagnostic testing. Samples must be collected under the supervision of a licensed or accredited veterinarian or as determined by the respective State Animal Health Official. Milk samples: Samples to be collected include milk/udder secretions from individual cows. Each quarter is sampled and combined into one sample for submission to the laboratory. Submissions must be between 3-10 ml of milk per animal. o Pooling of milk samples can be done only at the laboratory. •

The NWS animal movement certificate must include the following statement: “All animals were inspected and found free of evidence of NWS infestation.” See the Animal Inspection Requirements section for guidance on inspecting animals prior to movement. The following data elements must also be documented on the certificate to support NWS animal traceability and surveillance: A. Date(s) of movement B. Origin Premises ID that is validated C.

Not in the cited law: Every voter who leaves West Virginia must cancel their West Virginia voter registration
