42 U.S.C. § 112 — Removal of revenue officers from port during epidemic

submitted 132 years ago by Congress to r/title-42-THE-PUBLIC-HEALTH-AND-WELFARE · 141 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

This law lets the Treasury Secretary temporarily move customs officers away from a port if disease makes it dangerous to stay. Moved officers keep the same powers and duties at their new, nearby location, and the public must be notified.

If a contagious or epidemic disease near a legally established port of entry makes it dangerous or inconvenient for revenue officers to keep working there, the Secretary of the Treasury — or, if the Secretary is unavailable, the Undersecretary of the Treasury — may order those officers moved to another, more convenient location within, or as close as possible to, the same collection district. At that new location, the officers keep the same powers and are held to the same duties they had at the original port, adjusted for the circumstances. The public must be given notice of any such move as soon as possible.

Whenever, by the prevalence of any contagious or epidemic disease in or near the place by law established as the port of entry for any collection district, it becomes dangerous or inconvenient for the officers of the revenue employed therein to continue the discharge of their respective offices at such port, the Secretary of the Treasury, or, in his absence, the Undersecretary of the Treasury, may direct the removal of the officers of the revenue from such port to any other more convenient place, within, or as near as may be to, such collection district. And at such place such officers may exercise the same powers, and shall be liable to the same duties, according to existing circumstances, as in the port or district established by law. Public notice of any such removal shall be given as soon as may be.
