About this statute

This Act segment defines key animal-health terms, excludes some products from its scope, and gives officials powers to appoint inspectors, require reporting, and issue quarantine and surveillance orders. This part lets the Minister create and publish control orders, issue permits, and change or revoke control orders. It also gives inspectors and the chief veterinary officer inspection, seizure, disposal, and destruction powers, and sets rules for compliance, compensation claims, appeals, and offences like obstruction and false statements. This segment creates offences for breaching specified sections, conditions, permits, or directions, sets fines and possible imprisonment, and gives a justice power to add further orders after conviction.
