  release and euthanize rabies vector species, provided that such wildlife
  rehabilitator  has  completed  a  training  course   approved   by   the
  commissioner  or  provided  by  the  department. A rabies vector species
  exhibiting signs or symptoms of central  nervous  system  disorder  when
  first encountered by a wildlife rehabilitator or while under the care of
  a  wildlife  rehabilitator  shall  be  euthanized  immediately  by  such
  rehabilitator and disposed of as directed by  the  local  county  health
  department  office.  The  commissioner  shall,  in consultation with the
