§1285.9. Violations; enforcement
A. Any violation of R.S. 40:1285.6, 1285.7, or 1285.8 may be treated by any party as a violation of the state, municipal, or parochial health codes and all procedures and remedies applicable to such violations of the codes shall be available to correct, deter, or punish violations of the provisions. The district and appellate courts shall have jurisdiction to enforce the provisions to the same extent that the courts have jurisdiction to enforce the codes.
B. All local health officers, health unit supervisors, or other code enforcement agencies shall enforce R.S. 40:1285.6, 1285.7, and 1285.8 in the same manner and with the same authority as they may enforce the health code.
C. The state health officer shall have concurrent responsibility and authority to enforce R.S. 40:1285.6, 1285.7, and 1285.8 and in so doing shall have available to him all powers and authority which shall be available to local health officers and health unit supervisors. The state health officer's responsibility with respect to objects sold or placed into commerce in violation of R.S. 40:1285.8 is limited to those instances where the state officer or his personnel are notified of such violation.
D. Violations of R.S. 40:1285.6, 1285.7, and 1285.8 shall be treated as emergency matters, and shall be given preference by enforcing agencies and speedy hearings by district and appellate courts.
