Abstract

This Chapter of the California Food and Agricultural Code provides for intrastate shipments and pest control. It states that except as otherwise provided in the code, it is unlawful for any person to receive or bring into any county or locality of the state from another county or locality within the state any nursery stock, or any other plant, appliance, or thing subject to a federal or state quarantine or which the county agricultural commissioner or the Secretary of the Department of Food and Agriculture of California considers and designates to be liable to be infected or infested with any pest, unless the person does all of the following: (a) notifies the commissioner of the arrival of the article immediately after its arrival; and (b) holds it for immediate inspection by the commissioner, without unnecessarily moving or placing the article where it may be harmful. The Chapter further provides requirements for markings on shipments within California, and abatement, reshipment, or treatment measures.
