(A) The Health Officer, after proper identification, shall have access at any reasonable time to any establishment regulated by this chapter. REASONABLE TIME for the purpose of this section shall always mean the establishment is open to the public. The Health Officer shall be permitted to examine all areas and records of the establishment, which are necessary for their inspection or investigation.
(B) Denial of access as herein provided shall be deemed as interference by the Health Officer in the performance of their duties, including denial of access to the permit holder’s building or records. The Health Officer must inform the permit holder that they are required to allow access to the Health Officer and access is a condition of the acceptance and retention of their permit to operate. If access is denied, an order issued by the Health Officer, or an inspection order, may be obtained according to law.
