| (a) Executive Director Authority. If the executive director
determines that a disease as identified in §58.2 (a) of this title (relating
to Disease Control) or an agent of transmission of one of those diseases exists
in a place in this state, or that livestock are exposed to or infected with
one of those diseases or an agent of transmission of one of those diseases,
then the executive director shall establish a quarantine on the affected animals
or on the affected place. The quarantine of an affected place may extend to
any affected area, including a county, district, pasture, lot, ranch, farm,
field, range, thoroughfare, building, stable, or stockyard pen. The executive
director may establish a quarantine to prohibit or restrict the movement of
any article or animal that is designated to be a carrier of a disease as identified
in §58.2 of this chapter.
(b) Existence or Exposure to a listed disease. A quarantine
will remain in effect until the commission determines that the exposure or
infection has been eradicated or controlled through appropriate methods.
(c) Effect of Quarantine. A quarantine that is established
for any location has the effect of quarantining all livestock, domestic animals,
or domestic fowl of the kind mentioned in the quarantine notice that are on
or enter that location during the existence of the quarantine, regardless
of who owns or controls the livestock, domestic animals, or domestic fowl.
The movement of animals or articles designated as a potential carrier of one
of those diseases into a quarantined herd, premise, or area is prohibited.
(d) Conditions of movement. The Executive Director may designate
conditions under which movement may take place and designate who is authorized
permit movement and under what conditions. The executive director may require
testing, vaccination, or another epidemiologically sound procedure in order
to authorize movement.
