2005 Minnesota Statutes - 35.67 — Rabies investigation.

     35.67 Rabies investigation. 


    If the executive director of the Board of Animal Health, or 
 a board of health as defined in section 145A.02, subdivision 2, 
 receives a written complaint that rabies exists in a town or 
 city in the board's jurisdiction, the board of health shall 
 investigate, either personally or through subordinate officers, 
 the truth of the complaint.  A board of health may also make an 
 investigation and determination independently, without having 
 received a complaint.  The fact that a board of health has 
 investigated and determined that rabies does not exist in a 
 jurisdiction does not deprive the executive director of the 
 Board of Animal Health of jurisdiction or authority to make an 
 investigation and determination with reference to the 
 territory.  For the purposes of sections 35.67 to 35.69, the 
 jurisdiction of the executive director of the Board of Animal 
 Health is the entire state.
