1. All costs of fumigation, disinfection or treatment ordered to be performed by the State Quarantine Officer shall be borne by the owner of the agricultural commodity.

2. The owner or, in the owner’s absence, the owner’s agent, manager or foreman, shall perform the fumigation, disinfection or treatment promptly and exactly as instructed and not otherwise. The refusal or neglect so to do shall be a misdemeanor.
