This Chapter of the California Food and Agricultural Code, known as the Cotton Pests Abatement District Act, provides rules for cotton pests abatement districts in California. According to the Chapter, cotton pests abatement districts may be organized and established by the board of supervisors of certain counties of California.

The petition may consist of any number of separate instruments. The petition shall be signed by 25 percent of the cottongrowers or by 25 cottongrowers who grow cotton within the proposed district, whichever is less. The Chapter further provides rules for the governance of such districts and the powers and duties of their management.
