It shall be appropriate and sufficient to set forth the basis for inspection (e.g. complaint, area or recurrent violation basis) established in this section, in other applicable acts or in rules or regulations. The warrant shall also state that it is issued pursuant to this section, and that it is for the purposes set forth in this and other acts which require that inspections be conducted.
(2) If the court finds that the warrant is in proper form and in accord with this section, it shall be issued forthwith.
(3) In the event of an emergency no warrant shall be required.
