§ 6-404. Court action against persons not abiding by disease control measures--Hearing--Violation
A. If the State Board of Agriculture determines that a person has not or is not reasonably likely to abide by the disease control measures established by the Board, the Board may request a court hearing to determine if the emergency temporary restrictions should continue. The court shall schedule the hearing as expeditiously as possible. When the Board requests a court hearing under this section, restrictions pursuant to Section 17 of this act1 shall continue to apply to the person until the court has held the temporary emergency restrictions hearing and issues an order either continuing the emergency disease control measures established by the Board or removing the emergency disease control measures.
D. 1. The court may order the continued restriction on the movement of the person if it finds, by a preponderance of the evidence, that travel outside of the quarantine zone by the person would pose an imminent threat of transporting a dangerous, infectious, or communicable disease outside of the boundaries of the quarantine zone.
3. If the person refuses to sign and comply with the acknowledgment form, the temporary restrictions shall continue for a longer time as specified by the court. Refusal by the person to sign and comply with the acknowledgment form constitutes a knowing violation of the Animal Disease Outbreak Temporary Emergency Act.
