(a) For the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this act, including any review of the application of swine waste under K.S.A. 2-3318, and amendments thereto, the secretary or the secretary's agent or the county or district attorney or their agents may enter any premises at any reasonable time in order to:

(1) Have access for the purpose of inspecting any equipment subject to this act;

(2) inspect or sample water, lands and crops reported to be exposed to chemicals;

(3) inspect or investigate complaints or injury to humans, crops or land;

(4) sample chemicals being applied or to be applied; or

(5) observe the use and application of chemicals.

Should the secretary, the secretary's agent or the county or district attorney or their agents be denied access to any land where such access was sought for the purposes authorized, the secretary or the county or district attorney may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for a search warrant authorizing access to such land for such purposes. The court, upon such application, may issue the search warrant for the purposes requested.

(b) The enforcement of the criminal provisions of this act shall be the duty of, and shall be implemented by, the county or district attorneys of the various counties or districts. In the event a county or district attorney refuses to act, the attorney general shall so act. The secretary is charged with the duty of enforcing all other provisions of this act.
