Project Overview
The Public Health Law Program (PHLP), located in the Office for State, Tribal, Local and Territorial Support
(OSTLTS), assisted the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases Division of Foodborne,
Waterborne, and Environmental Diseases (DFWED) with an assessment of state animal contact exhibit laws
related to hand sanitation stations.
The project included the following tasks:
1. Conduct a preliminary scan of science, laws, and policies related to state animal contact exhibit laws
2. Collect state hand sanitation laws for the following categories of animal contact exhibits:
a. Petting zoos
b. Agricultural fairs
c. County or state fairs
d. Exotic animal exhibits
e. Circuses
f. Zoos
2
Draft a summary of state laws on the topic for publication on PHLPs website
4. Draft a summary of the legal assessment for publication in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly
Report
Protocol
Preliminary Research, Codebook, and Search Strings
1. Conducted general searches for animal contact exhibit laws using WestlawNext in all states and the
District of Columbia to get cursory overview of the organization and content of legal provisions and to
brainstorm search terms.
2. Created preliminary codebook with the topics of the assessment to guide research. The codebook was
finalized after collection of laws was completed. See codebook section below.
3. Developed and finalized search terms after consultation with public health subject matter experts.
Collection of Laws
1. Search: Conducted searches for state and DC statutes and regulations in WestlawNext. See research trail
below for searches conducted.
2. Check for relevance: Selected laws that were within the scope of our project and excluded others as
outside of the scope of topics. See scoping and coding notes section below.
3. Check if good law: Reviewed WestlawNext KeyCite status flags to determine the validity of law and
included only laws that were good law. In statutes and regulations, a red flag indicates that the statute
or regulation has been amended by a recent session law or rule, repealed, superseded, or held
unconstitutional or preempted in whole or in part. A red flag indicated that additional research needs to
be conducted on the provision to see if the relevant requirement has been affected.
4. Document search process: Created research trail to reflect research process, including notes about
search terms and scoping issues.
5. Preservation: Preserved all statutes and regulations relevant to legal domain for each state from search
results above. Laws were preserved in pdf format in PHLPs shared drive.
Analysis and Coding Laws
1. Coding: After relevant laws were collected, they were reviewed, coded, and compiled into a summary
table with legal citations. Reviewed and updated codebook when relevant laws addressed relevant
topics that previously anticipated before research begun.
2. Scope notes: Documented scoping and coding issues and their resolutions. See scoping and coding
notes section below.
Data Validation
1. The findings of the legal assessment were distributed to the public health veterinarians in the 50 states
and the District of Columbia for review before publication. The findings were distributed via email on
June 8, 2016.

This codebook lists the attributes of interest within the legal assessment and the coding variables for each

Search String Development
= Discussion with client: In early project meetings, DFWED suggested initial search terms.
= Initial research: PHLP staff attorney conducted initial searches in all jurisdictions of interest and began
refining search terms.
Searches Conducted
PHLP searched for state and DC statutes and regulations that establish animal exhibit hand sanitation
requirements using WestlawNext, a legal research database. Searches were conducted in all states and the
District of Columbia between March 17, 2016, and April 1, 2016.

Scoping and Coding Notes
Laws requiring hand sanitation stations at animal contact exhibits were within the scope of the assessment.
Animal contact exhibits include petting zoos and agricultural fairs, among other types of exhibits.1 Laws related
to the sanitation standards for agricultural operations or stockyards and food processing or manufacturing were
not within the scope of this assessment.
The following table lists provisions that did not fit neatly within the scope of the assessment or the assessment
coding categories. The table outlines the issue with the provision and how the coding or scoping was resolved.

Considerations for Future Research
1. Potential areas for further research
= Licensing of animal contact exhibits
= Prohibition of food items at animal contact exhibits
= Prohibition of toys, pacifiers, etc. at animal contact exhibits
