The State Quarantine Officer shall have the authority to cancel the appointment at any time, which cancellation shall automatically terminate such employment by the county.
2. Whenever a deputy state quarantine officer is employed by any county as provided in subsection 1, any inspection fees set as provided in NRS 554.200 shall be collected as therein provided and turned into the county treasury of the county employing such deputy state quarantine officer.
