Section 71-1719. Summary action  


Latest version.
  • Whenever the commissioner, after investigation, is of the opinion that
      any  person  is  causing,  engaging  in  or  maintaining  a condition or
      activity which in his opinion constitutes danger to the  health  of  the
      people,  and that it therefore appears to be prejudicial to the interest
      of the people to delay action for fifteen days until an opportunity  for
      a  hearing  can be provided in accordance with the provisions of section
      71-1709, the commissioner shall order the person,  including  any  state
      agency  or  political subdivision having jurisdiction, by written notice
      to discontinue such dangerous condition  or  activity  or  take  certain
      action  immediately  or  within  a specified period of less than fifteen
      days. As promptly as possible thereafter, within not to  exceed  fifteen
      days,  the  commissioner  shall  provide the person an opportunity to be
      heard and to present any proof that such condition or activity does  not
      constitute  a  danger  to  the  health of the people. This section shall
      apply only to enforcement of the provisions of this  chapter  listed  in
      section 71-1701, and of titles 17 through 21 inclusive of this article.
