2005 California Food and Agricultural Code Sections 10381-10387 Article 5. Brucellosis Control Areas

10381.  The department may, after hearing, establish and maintain
brucellosis control areas within this state.
10382.  The department shall examine and test such cattle for
brucellosis in any brucellosis control area as the director may
specify, as often as may be deemed necessary to qualify and maintain
such area within the standards of certification which are adopted by
the United States Department of Agriculture.
10383.  All owners of cattle which are subject to examination and
testing for brucellosis within a brucellosis control area shall, upon
request of the department, provide the necessary facilities for
collecting such samples of blood or milk as may be deemed necessary
to conduct tests for brucellosis, and shall render such assistance as
may be required.
10384.  If any owner or person that is in charge of cattle, after 10
days' written notice by the department, refuses properly to confine
in corrals, stanchions, or chutes, any cattle within a brucellosis
control area which are required to be tested and identified pursuant
to this chapter, the owner is guilty of a misdemeanor and the
department may in such case incur such expense as is necessary to
properly confine and identify the cattle.
10385.  Any expense which is incurred by the department pursuant to
Section 10384 is a lien upon the cattle which are tested and
identified.  Unless the amount of the lien is paid within 10 days
after written notice of the amount of the lien has been given by the
department to the owner or person that is in possession of the
cattle, the lien shall be enforced pursuant to Section 3052 of the
Civil Code.
10386.  The director shall, by regulation, designate the conditions
under which cattle may be moved into a brucellosis control area.
10387.  It is unlawful for any person to refuse to submit any cattle
which are required to be tested pursuant to this chapter, for the
collection of milk or blood samples, or to refuse to submit any milk
samples which are necessary for the testing of cattle for brucellosis
pursuant to this chapter.
