8‑26 Alteration of and interference with official marks

A person may alter, or interfere with, an official mark (whether or not it has been applied to any prescribed livestock, prescribed live animals or prescribed animal reproductive material) only if the alteration or interference is required or permitted by this Part or the Secretary.

Note: A person may commit an offence or be liable to a civil penalty if the person engages in conduct and the conduct has the result that an official mark applied to prescribed livestock, prescribed live animals or prescribed animal reproductive material or documents is altered so as to be false, misleading or deceptive (see sections 261 and 262 of the Act).
