In addition, the Board of Agriculture and Consumer Services may quarantine the Commonwealth or any portion thereof when it determines that such action is necessary to prevent or retard the spread of a pest into, within, or from the Commonwealth. The Board may also prohibit the importation of any regulated article from any locality of other states, territories, or countries, into the Commonwealth.
