A. The board or the board's designees shall enforce the provisions of the Animal Sheltering Act.
B. Whenever the board has reasonable cause to believe a violation of a provision of the Animal Sheltering Act or a rule adopted pursuant to that act has occurred that creates a health risk for the animals or the community and immediate enforcement is deemed necessary, the board may issue a cease and desist order to require a person to cease violations. At any time after service of the order to cease and desist, the person may request a prompt hearing to determine whether a violation occurred. If a person fails to comply with a cease and desist order within twenty-four hours, the board may bring a suit for a temporary restraining order and for injunctive relief to prevent further violations.
C. Whenever the board possesses evidence that indicates a person has engaged in or intends to engage in an act or practice constituting a violation of the Animal Sheltering Act or a rule adopted pursuant to that act, the board may seek temporarily or permanently to restrain or enjoin the act or practice. The board shall not be required to post a bond when seeking a temporary or permanent injunction.
