Operative words
Such officer shall make or have made an investigation of each case of... such other acute infectious, contagious or communicable diseases as may be required, and shall use all known measures to prevent the spread of any such infectious, contagious or communicable disease, and shall perform such other duties as this act... or the secretary of health and environment may require.
Penalty
removal from office and a fine of $10 to $100 for the officer who fails to perform; orders enforced through K.S.A. 65-127 and 65-129 (DUT-KS-004, DUT-KS-006)
What it required
Placed on every local health officer a mandatory duty ('shall use all known measures') to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the county; the source of the county stay-home, business, bar-closure, curfew and mask orders in the library (KS-080 to KS-096), and the reason those orders reached every business in the county.
Retrieval noteHB 2016 § 38 (KS-027) restyled the section into lettered subsections and added, in (d)(2), that orders 'may be reviewed, amended or revoked by the board of county commissioners as provided in K.S.A. 65-201(b)'; the 'all known measures' duty is unchanged in every version.
