Conn. Gen. Stat. § 22-288a: Condemnation of herd. Compensation. Appeals.

If the commissioner finds the presence of tuberculosis or brucellosis recurring in one herd of livestock within any two-year period, or if the commissioner finds any herd of livestock substantially infected with tuberculosis, brucellosis or other infectious or contagious disease, the commissioner may order the condemnation of such herd to prevent the spread of such disease or to protect the public health and compensation therefor shall be paid in accordance with section 22-288. Such compensation shall not be paid, nor shall the herd be restocked, until the premises from which such herd was taken have been cleaned and disinfected, and such premises have been inspected and approved by the commissioner. Any person aggrieved by an order of the commissioner to so condemn a herd may, not later than seven days after such order, appeal therefrom in accordance with the provisions of section 4-183.
