Section 22-279. - Quarantine of animals. Penalties.

(a) The Commissioner of Agriculture or his deputy or authorized agents may quarantine all animals that they have reasonable grounds to believe (1) are infected with a communicable disease, (2) do not meet import, export or disease testing requirements of the department or (3) are kept under unsanitary conditions which, in the opinion of the commissioner or his deputy or authorized agents, endanger the public health or the health of such animals. The quarantine may (A) prohibit or regulate the sale of such quarantined animals and all the products of such quarantined animals, and (B) require that such animals and the products of such animals be confined in a place designated by the commissioner or his deputy or authorized agents, for such time as the commissioner judges necessary.

(b) Any person who violates any provision of any quarantine imposed under this section shall be fined five hundred dollars for each day during which such violation continues, up to a maximum fine of twenty-five thousand dollars.
(1949 Rev., S. 3320; P.A. 81-231, S. 1, 6; June 30 Sp. Sess. P.A. 03-6, S. 146(e); P.A. 04-189, S. 1.)
History: P.A. 81-231 expanded the commissioner's quarantine powers to include animals that do not meet disease testing requirements and animals kept under unsanitary conditions and added Subsec. (b) establishing a penalty for violations; June 30 Sp. Sess. P.A. 03-6 replaced Commissioner of Agriculture with Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Protection, effective July 1, 2004; P.A. 04-189 repealed Sec. 146 of June 30 Sp. Sess. P.A. 03-6, thereby reversing the merger of the Departments of Agriculture and Consumer Protection, effective June 1, 2004.
Quarantine of farm held no legal justification for failure to carry out contract to supply milk. 92 C. 394.
