| ||||||
| 2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||||

| ||||||
| 4 | Section 5. The Illinois Diseased Animals Act is amended by | ||||||

| ||||||

| 8 | rules and regulations
to prevent the spread of any | ||||||
| 9 | contamination or contagious or infectious disease within this
| ||||||
| 10 | State. If the condition so warrants, the Director may request | ||||||
| 11 | the Governor
to issue a proclamation quarantining an affected | ||||||
| 12 | municipality or geographical
district whereby all animals of | ||||||
| 13 | the kind diseased or contaminated would not be permitted
to be | ||||||
| 14 | moved from one premises to another within the municipality or | ||||||
| 15 | geographical
district,
or over any public highway, or any | ||||||
| 16 | unfenced lot or piece of ground, or from
being brought into, or | ||||||
| 17 | taken from the infected or contaminated municipality or | ||||||
| 18 | geographical
district, except by a special permit, signed by | ||||||
| 19 | the Director. Any such proclamation
shall, from
the time of | ||||||
| 20 | its publication, bind all persons. Within one week after the
| ||||||
| 21 | publication of any such proclamation, every person who owns, | ||||||
| 22 | or who is in
charge of animals of the kind diseased or | ||||||
| 23 | contaminated
within the municipality or geographical district, | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | shall report to the
Department the number and description of | ||||||
| 2 | such animals, their location,
and the name and address of the | ||||||
| 3 | owner or person in charge, and during
the continuance of the | ||||||
| 4 | quarantine to report to the Department all cases
of sickness, | ||||||
| 5 | deaths or births among such animals.
| ||||||
| 6 | If the condition so warrants, the Director may declare a | ||||||
| 7 | temporary prohibition on the sale, movement, or exhibition of | ||||||
| 8 | certain types of animals in order to prevent or reduce the | ||||||
| 9 | spread of any contamination or disease in this State. The | ||||||
| 10 | declaration shall be for a period not to exceed 30 days, but | ||||||
| 11 | the declaration may be extended in increments not to exceed 30 | ||||||
| 12 | days if the condition so warrants. | ||||||
