When any local health officer shall have reasonable grounds to believe that any person has active tuberculosis disease, but will not voluntarily seek a medical examination, then it shall be the duty of the local health officer to order such person in writing to undergo an examination by a physician approved by the State Commissioner of Health for such examinations. It shall be the duty of the suspected person to submit to examination at such time and place as ordered by the local health officer. The examination shall include an X-ray of the chest, examinations of sputum, and such other forms and types of examinations as shall be approved by the Commissioner. If, upon examination, it is determined that the person has active or suspected active tuberculosis disease, then it shall be the duty of such person to comply with the orders of the Commissioner.
