N.Y. Agriculture & Markets Law § 105-f: Review by commissioner

§ 105-f. Review by commissioner. If the claimant desires to appeal

the county treasurer's disapproval of his claim or if he is dissatisfied

with the amount of the damage as set forth in the assessor's report, he

may, within ten days after the receipt of the report, present to the

commissioner a request for a review. The county treasurer may, within

ten days after receiving the report of the assessor, if dissatisfied

with the damages stated in the report, present to the commissioner a

request for a review. Upon receipt of such request, from either the

claimant or the county treasurer, the commissioner shall cause an

investigation to be made of the facts surrounding the death of the

animal or animals described therein and the amount of damage incurred

thereby for which indemnification should be made in accordance with the

intent of this article. The claimant shall permit the commissioner or

his duly authorized representative to enter the premises where the

animal or animals for which indemnification is claimed were kept,

harbored or pastured, and shall furnish to the commissioner or his duly

authorized representative whatever information and proof may be

available to the claimant and deemed necessary by the commissioner or

his representative to complete the investigation. After the completion

of such investigation the commissioner shall make his decision in

writing as set forth in the preceding section.
