Resumen

This Part of the California Food and Agricultural Code adopts the Pest Control Compact with other states. The Compact notes that the migratory character of pest infestations makes it necessary for states both adjacent to and distant from one another, to complement each other’s activities when faced with conditions of infestation and reinfestation. While every state is seriously affected by a substantial number of pests, and every state is susceptible of infestation by many species of pests not now causing damage to its crop and plant life and products, the fact that relatively few species of pests present equal danger to or are of interest to all states makes the establishment and operation of a fund, from which individual states may obtain financial support for pest control programs of benefit to them in other states and to which they may contribute in accordance with their relative interests, the most equitable means of financing cooperative pest eradication and control programs. The Compact thus creates the Pest Control Fund for the purpose of financing other than normal pest control operations which states may be called upon to engage in pursuant to this Compact.
