1. The State Quarantine Officer may:
(a) Exercise all necessary authority required for the proper and efficient enforcement of a quarantine.
(b) Make arrests of persons violating a quarantine, or suspected of such a violation.
(c) Examine any premises or any shipment or consignment suspected of containing a quarantined agricultural commodity within the meaning of NRS 554.110 to 554.240, inclusive, and may open any container thereof and inspect the contents of the container.
2. If such a shipment or consignment proves to be a quarantined agricultural commodity, the State Quarantine Officer may require any railroad, express company or other common carrier immediately to reship the consignment back to the point of origin, if the consignment has not yet been delivered to the consignee. The failure or refusal of any railroad company, express company or other common carrier promptly to do so renders the company or carrier so offending liable for a fine of not more than $5,000, which fine may be collected by proceedings instituted by the State and prosecuted by the Attorney General in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any property of the defendant within the State may be levied on and sold in satisfaction of the judgment.
