(a)

The commission may establish a quarantine against all or the portion of a state, territory, or country in which the commission determines scabies exists.

A person who violates the quarantine is subject to the penalties provided by Chapter 161 (General Disease and Pest Control).

(b)

If an inspector determines that a scabies infection or exposure exists in a county or area of this state, on any premises, including a road, pasture, lot, yard, stockyard, or enclosure, or among any cattle or sheep, the commission may quarantine the area, premises, or animals.
