| Public Act 103-0176 | ||||
| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning animals.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Illinois Diseased Animals Act is amended by | ||||
changing Section 9 as follows:
| ||||
(510 ILCS 50/9) (from Ch. 8, par. 176)
| ||||
Sec. 9. The Department may promulgate and adopt reasonable | ||||
rules and regulations
to prevent the spread of any | ||||
contamination or contagious or infectious disease within this
| ||||
State. If the condition so warrants, the Director may request | ||||
the Governor
to issue a proclamation quarantining an affected | ||||
municipality or geographical
district whereby all animals of | ||||
the kind diseased or contaminated would not be permitted
to be | ||||
moved from one premises to another within the municipality or | ||||
geographical
district,
or over any public highway, or any | ||||
unfenced lot or piece of ground, or from
being brought into, or | ||||
taken from the infected or contaminated municipality or | ||||
geographical
district, except by a special permit, signed by | ||||
the Director. Any such proclamation
shall, from
the time of | ||||
its publication, bind all persons. Within one week after the
| ||||
publication of any such proclamation, every person who owns, | ||||
or who is in
charge of animals of the kind diseased or | ||||
contaminated
within the municipality or geographical district, | ||||
shall report to the
Department the number and description of | ||
such animals, their location,
and the name and address of the | ||
owner or person in charge, and during
the continuance of the | ||
quarantine to report to the Department all cases
of sickness, | ||
deaths or births among such animals.
| ||
If the condition so warrants, the Director may declare a | ||
temporary prohibition on the sale, movement, or exhibition of | ||
certain types of animals in order to prevent or reduce the | ||
spread of any contamination or disease in this State. The | ||
declaration shall be for a period not to exceed 30 days, but | ||
the declaration may be extended in increments not to exceed 30 | ||
days if the condition so warrants. | ||
