machinery, and personal property. A. 1. The State Board of Agriculture may issue orders restricting the movement of persons, livestock, machinery, and personal property out of quarantine zones. The President of the Board, the State Veterinarian, or any licensed veterinarian designated by the Board may issue the orders. 2. Any such order shall be issued upon a determination that reasonable cause exists to believe that the movement of persons or personal property out of a quarantine zone will reasonably transport a dangerous, infectious, or communicable disease outside of the quarantine zone. B. An order restricting the movement of persons, livestock, machinery, and personal property out of quarantine zones: 1. Shall be served upon any person subject to the order; 2. Shall be limited to the greatest extent possible consistent with the paramount disease control objectives as determined by the Board; 3. May be served on any day at any time; and 4. Must include a notice of the person's rights pursuant to this section, including, but not limited to, the ability of the person to enter into an agreement to abide by disease control measures under subsection C of this section and the right to request a court hearing under subsection D of this section. When an order restricting the movement of persons has been issued, the physical and emergency medical needs of those persons restricted pursuant to the order shall be addressed in a systematic and competent manner. C. No person may be restricted by an order, issued pursuant to the Animal Disease Outbreak Temporary Emergency Act for longer than seventy-two (72) hours, if the person agrees to abide by the disease control measures established by the Board. Such person shall sign an acknowledgment form prepared by the Board evidencing the person's agreement to abide by the disease control measures established by the Board. D. Any person whose movements are restricted by an order pursuant to the Animal Disease Outbreak Temporary Emergency Act may seek a district court hearing on the order at any time after it is served on the person. The hearing shall be heard as soon as possible regardless of the time of day and any inconvenience to the court. The hearing may be held by electronic means. The subject of the order may: 1. Contest imposition of the order on grounds that it is an abuse of the Board's discretion pursuant to the Animal Disease Outbreak Temporary Emergency Act; or 2. Seek a variance from the order to allow movement of a person inconsistent with the order, upon a showing that the person would otherwise suffer irreparable harm.
