What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law grants the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer

Protection (DATCP) authority concerning the abatement of pests on agricultural

lands and agricultural business premises. Under this authority, if DATCP

determines that plants or other materials that are so infested with pests that they

constitute a hazard to plant or animal life, it may order the owner of the lands or

premises on which the plant or other materials are located to have the plants or other

materials treated or removed and destroyed.

This bill expands DATCP's pest abatement authority so that it is not limited to

agricultural lands and agricultural business premises.
