The holder of each permit to operate a horse-drawn carriage company shall, as a condition to such permit remaining in force, present to the Clerk no later than the first day the horse-drawn carriage operation is to begin, a certificate by a doctor of veterinary medicine, duly licensed in the state of any U.S. state or the District of Columbia, for each horse or other beast of burden owned by such company for its horse-drawn carriage business, with identifying information, certifying that such doctor of veterinary medicine has examined such horse or other animal, and that the animal is in good health and able to draw the horse-drawn carriage or carriages to which the horse is assigned without endangering the health of such horse or other animal. In the event of failure to present a certificate for each such horse, the owner shall not be able to use in the horse-drawn carriage business any horse for which a certificate is not presented. Such certificate of health shall be required to be presented to the Clerk every year thereafter.
