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.
