(a) A quarantine notice must state the requirements and restrictions under which animals may be permitted to enter this state or to be moved from a quarantined area within this state.  If the seriousness of the disease is sufficient to warrant prohibiting the movement of animals, the notice must state that the movement is prohibited.  The quarantine notice must state the class of persons authorized by the commission to issue certificates or permits permitting movement.

(b) A quarantine notice must state the cause for which the quarantine is established, whether for infection or for exposure.

(c) A quarantine notice must describe the area or premises quarantined in a reasonable manner that enables a person to identify the area or premises, but is not required to describe the area or premises by metes and bounds.

(d) If the quarantine regulates or prohibits the movement of a carrier or potential carrier of a disease, the commission may prescribe any exceptions, terms, conditions, or provisions that the commission considers necessary or desirable to promote the objectives of this chapter or to minimize the economic impact of the quarantine without endangering those objectives or the health and safety of the public.  Any exceptions, terms, conditions, or provisions prescribed under this subsection must be stated in the quarantine notice.
