35.0662 TEMPORARY EMERGENCY RESTRICTIONS HEARING.
Subdivision 1. Grounds. If the board determines that a person is not reasonably likely to
abide by the disease control measures established by the board, the board may request a court
hearing to determine if the emergency temporary restrictions should continue. The court shall
schedule the hearing as expeditiously as possible. When the board requests a court hearing under
this section, restrictions under section 35.0661, subdivision 3, continue to apply to the person
until the court has held the temporary emergency restrictions hearing and issues an order.
Subd. 2. Time of notice. If the board requests a court hearing pursuant to this section,
notice of the hearing must be served upon the person or persons to be restricted at least 24
hours before the hearing.
Subd. 3. Contents of notice. The notice must contain the following information:
(1) the time, date, and place of the hearing;
(2) the grounds and underlying facts upon which continued restrictions are sought;
(3) the person's right to appear by electronic means at the hearing and the right to have a
representative appear in person at the hearing;
(4) the person's right to present and cross-examine witnesses; and
(5) the person's right to counsel, including the right, if the person is indigent, to representation
by counsel designated by the court or county of venue.
Subd. 4. Order for continued temporary restrictions. The court may order the continued
restriction on the movement of the person if it finds, by a preponderance of the evidence, that
travel outside of the quarantine zone by the person would pose an imminent threat of transporting
a dangerous, infectious, or communicable disease outside of the boundaries of the quarantine
zone. If the person agrees to sign and comply with the acknowledgment form referred to in section
35.0661, subdivision 3, the temporary restrictions must not continue longer than 30 days. If the
person refuses to sign and comply with the acknowledgment form, the temporary restrictions may
continue for a longer time specified by the court. Refusal by the person to sign and comply with
the acknowledgment form constitutes a knowing violation of section 35.0661 and subjects the
person to the penalties specified in section 35.96.
