of
the

2.
Upon
a
determination
by
the
department
that
exigent
circumstances
exist,
the
dispositional
proceeding
may
be
conducted
by
an
administrative
law
judge
in
the
same
manner
as
an
emergency
adjudicative
proceeding
pursuant
to
section
17A.18A.
The
administrative

shall
notify

issued
by
the
governor
or
an
order
issued
by
the

or
the
secretary’s
designee
pursuant

3.
a.
A
court
or
administrative
law
judge
shall
issue
an
order
for
the
disposition
of
the
animal
after
making
any
of
the
following
determinations:
(1)
That
no
interested
person
holds
a
legal
interest
in
the
seized
animal.
In
that
case,
the
animal
shall
be
deemed
abandoned
and
the
order
shall
extinguish
all
prior
legal
interests
in
the
animal.
The
order
shall
grant
an
undivided
ownership
interest
in
the
animal
free
from
any
security
interest
or
other
agricultural
lien
or
encumbrance
to
the
department.
(2)
That
an
interested
person
holds
a
legal
interest
in
the
seized
animal,
and
the
department
has
reasonable
suspicion
to
believe
that
the
animal
has
been
exposed
to
an
infectious
or
contagious
disease.
In
that
case,
the
order
shall
provide
for
the
disposition
of
the
animal
in
the
same
manner
as
if
the
department
had
identified
the
animal
as
having
been
exposed
to
the
infectious
or
contagious
disease
under
the
authorization
provided
in
section
163.3D.
(3)
That
a
person
holds
a
legal
interest
in
the
seized
animal,
and
there
is
no
reasonable
suspicion
that
the
seized
animal
has
been
exposed
to
an
infectious
or
contagious
disease.
In
that
case,
the
order
shall
direct
the
department
to
transfer
custody
of
the
animal
to
the
interested
person.
In
the
event
the
animal
is
returned
to
the
interested
person,
the
department
shall
not
be
subject
to
any
claim
for
damages

by

b.
A
reasonable
suspicion
asserted
by
the
department
may
be
based
on
any
credible
evidence
that
shows
the
animal’s
possible
exposure
to

infectious
or

disease
or
the
animal
was
abandoned.
This
paragraph
“b”
does
not
require
the
department
to
conduct
a
test
of
an
animal
to
determine
whether
an
animal
has
been
exposed.
c.
If
two
or
more
interested
parties
may
be
transferred

of
an
animal
by
the
department
pursuant

to
transfer

otherwise
to
the
interested
person
best
able
to
care
for
the
animal
without
prejudicing
the
rights
of
any
other

person.
However,
in
any

action
brought
by
an
interested

contesting

the

If
more
than

in

held
by
each

The
amount
paid
