This chapter shall be applicable to that dangerous transmissible disease as of the date of actual or constructive notice of the order or any later date specified in that order. The department shall publish such an order in the Pennsylvania Bulletin within 20 days of its issuance. Publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin shall effect constructive notice.
