This deals with regulations controlling the potential spread of animal diseases and infections, and among other things would empower the director of the state agriculture department - with a governor's approval - to issue emergency orders “if the director determines that a delayed response to a specific reportable animal disease or condition will cause a significant impact on animals, an animal industry, or public health".
