Article 6-A - Indemnification for Rabies
105-F - Review by Commissioner.

ยง 105-f. Review by commissioner. If the claimant desires to appeal
the county treasurer's disapproval of his claim or if he is dissatisfied
with the amount of the damage as set forth in the assessor's report, he
may, within ten days after the receipt of the report, present to the
commissioner a request for a review. The county treasurer may, within
ten days after receiving the report of the assessor, if dissatisfied
with the damages stated in the report, present to the commissioner a
request for a review. Upon receipt of such request, from either the
claimant or the county treasurer, the commissioner shall cause an
investigation to be made of the facts surrounding the death of the
animal or animals described therein and the amount of damage incurred
thereby for which indemnification should be made in accordance with the
intent of this article. The claimant shall permit the commissioner or
his duly authorized representative to enter the premises where the
animal or animals for which indemnification is claimed were kept,
harbored or pastured, and shall furnish to the commissioner or his duly
authorized representative whatever information and proof may be
available to the claimant and deemed necessary by the commissioner or
his representative to complete the investigation. After the completion
of such investigation the commissioner shall make his decision in
writing as set forth in the preceding section.
