§ 1033. Detection and abundance surveys; eradication and suppression

The secretary may conduct detection and abundance surveys for plant pests of an injurious nature that may be present in the state to determine the necessity for establishing control practices. When the secretary determines that a new injurious plant pest exists within the state or that an established pest requires control and the nature of the pest dictates immediate action, he or she may proceed with a plan of eradication or suppression.
