Resumen

This Chapter of the California Food and Agricultural Code provides special quarantine, control, and abatement methods of pests in California. It states that if any pest exists on any premises, the Secretary of the Department of Food and Agriculture of California (the director) or the county agricultural commissioner may hold any plant or other host or possible carrier which is, or may be, capable of disseminating or carrying the pest. The director or the commissioner also may hold the plants, other hosts, or other possible carriers on any premises within five miles of the premises on which the pest was found to exist. The director or commissioner shall notify the owner of the plant or other host or possible carrier, or his or her agent, of this action, and the issuance of any shipping permit or nursery stock certificate with respect to the plant or other host or possible carrier shall be refused and any such permit or certificate which has been previously issued shall be revoked. The director or commissioner may enter into compliance agreements with any person which provide for the movement of hosts or other possible carriers of any pest from one area of the state to another. These agreements shall establish the treatment, harvesting, packing, and handling requirements that may be necessary to assure that the hosts or carriers are not infested. The Chapter also regulates standards of cleanliness; prevention of pest dissemination by movement of appliances; eradication areas; notice requirements and informing the public about an eradication project; declaring host-free periods and districts; grafts and buds that come from infected plants; and registries of the plants which are found not to be infested or infected, or liable to become infested or infected, with pests. Finally, for enhancing the state’s domestic and international trade opportunities, the Chapter authorizes the Department of Food and Agriculture of California to provide, upon request, nonregulatory accreditation, analytical, certification, diagnostic, inspection, quality assurance, testing, and other nonregulatory services relating to nursery stock, plants, seed, or other plant pests and diseases on a charge-for-service basis or may accredit private persons or business entities to perform those services.
