             259      and seizures of property without warrant.
             260          (1) Search warrants relating to offenses involving controlled substances may be
             261      authorized [in the same manner as provided in Title 77, Chapter 23] pursuant to the Utah Rules
             262      of Criminal Procedure.
             263          (2) Issuance and execution of administrative inspection warrants shall be as follows:
             264          (a) Any judge or magistrate of this state within his jurisdiction upon proper oath or
             265      affirmation showing probable cause, may issue warrants for the purpose of conducting
             266      administrative inspections authorized by this act or regulations thereunder and seizures of
             267      property appropriate to such inspections. Probable cause for purposes of this act exists upon
             268      showing a valid public interest in the effective enforcement of the act or rules promulgated
             269      thereunder sufficient to justify administrative inspection of the area, premises, building, or
             270      conveyance in the circumstances specified in the application for the warrant.
             271          (b) A warrant shall issue only upon an affidavit of an officer or employee duly
             272      designated and having knowledge of the facts alleged sworn to before a judge or magistrate
             273      which establish the grounds for issuing the warrant. If the judge or magistrate is satisfied that
             274      grounds for the application exist or that there is probable cause to believe they exist, he shall
             275      issue a warrant identifying the area, premises, building, or conveyance to be inspected, the
             276      purpose of the inspection, and if appropriate, the type of property to be inspected, if any. The
             277      warrant shall:
             278          (i) state the grounds for its issuance and the name of each person whose affidavit has
             279      been taken to support it;
             280          (ii) be directed to a person authorized by Section 58-37-9 of this act to execute it;
             281          (iii) command the person to whom it is directed to inspect the area, premises, building,


             282      or conveyance identified for the purpose specified and if appropriate, direct the seizure of the
             283      property specified;
             284          (iv) identify the item or types of property to be seized, if any; and
             285          (v) direct that it be served during normal business hours and designate the judge or
             286      magistrate to whom it shall be returned.
             287          (c) A warrant issued pursuant to this section must be executed and returned within ten
             288      days after its date unless, upon a showing of a need for additional time, the court instructs
             289      otherwise in the warrant. If property is seized pursuant to a warrant, the person executing the
             290      warrant shall give to the person from whom or from whose premises the property was taken a
             291      copy of the warrant and a receipt for the property taken or leave the copy and receipt at the
             292      place where the property was taken. Return of the warrant shall be made promptly and be
             293      accompanied by a written inventory of any property taken. The inventory shall be made in the
             294      presence of the person executing the warrant and of the person from whose possession or
             295      premises the property was taken, if they are present, or in the presence of at least one credible
