§ 4-15-1.5. Background and purpose. (Effective 5/13/2014)  


Latest version.
  •      The Legislature finds that:
    (1) nursery stock can harbor and vector plant pests and diseases;
    (2) unregulated production and shipping of nursery stock presents an unacceptable risk to the state's agricultural, forestry, and horticultural interests, and to the state's general environmental quality; and
    (3) it is necessary to ensure that nurseries produce healthy plants and that nursery stock shipped to other nurseries, brokers, and out-of-state customers meets national nursery stock cleanliness standards.
