§
1463. Examination; release from quarantine
Within a
reasonable time, the secretary shall examine any imported domestic animal
placed in quarantine, and may apply such tests or retests as the secretary
deems necessary to determine the health of such animals. After test or retests
ordered by the secretary have been applied, any domestic animal found free from
contagious or infectious disease shall be released from quarantine, unless the
secretary determines that the animal may have been exposed to a contagious
disease and that it is necessary to continue the quarantine in order to prevent
the potential spread of a contagious disease. Any such order shall be made in
the manner provided by section 1157 of this title. (Amended 1989, No. 183 (Adj.
Sess.), § 4; 1991, No. 153 (Adj. Sess.), § 3, eff. May 5, 1992; 2003, No. 42, §
2, eff. May 27, 2003.)
